Orienteering race (Billygoat!) 3:22:12 [4] *** 10.7 km (18:54 / km) +305m 16:32 / km
spiked:19/22c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Nottingcook Forest in Bow, NH, set by Jim Arsenault. Thickish woods in places so the course was set on the short side (to my advantage). I was particularly happy with the reduced climb relative to other Billygoats I've done or tried to do.
Control 5 was a forked leg; I took the left fork. Never did find number 6, so that was my skip. I'll have to scan my map and see if I can overlap my FR track to see where I went.
Saw Sharon and Lyn for the first few controls, plus some others who were starting out slowly. Near Francis H. from 10-12, then we went separate ways to 13 but he was coming in to punch as I left it. He got ahead again on the way to 15 but then we were together for 16 and 17. He finished ahead of me. Saw 3 of the Lyons family (Patty, Walt, and Zach) often throughout the race, too, but they tended to take different routes between points.
Fun course, fun day! Nice to get another shirt (my 6th); this one's a dark green polo-style shirt with chest logo.
