Orienteering race 1:54:28 *** 12.78 km (8:57 / km) +326m 7:57 / km
ahr:135 max:179 spiked:20/22c shoes: VJ Falcons 8
Score-O on the French Creek North map with S/F near Scott’s Run Lake. 31 controls spread across the map with point values of 3, 4, 5 or 6 with a total of 141 points available. Mass start, two hour time limit with no extra time for pre-planning. Sunny and low 50s with abundant Fall colors - perfect day to be in the woods. Set by Fred Reed - thanks to him and all the others who helped out.
An OK run after a shaky start. Headed to control 32 first which then set up a physically and navigationally challenging route to 47, which was a pretty easy control if approached from the other way. Lost several minutes missing 47 and having to relocate. OK after that as I made my way into the north part of the map where many of the higher point controls were. Crossed the road to pick up two of the 6 point controls there but then had a long uphill road trek going to 57 (in retrospect, I probably could’ve gotten 59-50-40-45 with equivalent time and effort to 62-61, resulting in 6 more points). Decided at the right time that it I should to head back in and was able to pick up all the points in the southeast part as I came back. Visited 22 controls for a total of 100 points. Sam Kolins swept the course in 1:40-something.
Control order: 32-47-34-39-46-64-54-66-60-53-65-51-62-61-57-44-43-36-31-67-42-37.

Control pickup. 5 controls between Janet and me, both visiting the water control to clean that one up. Drove as close as we could to most of them. I did one trail walk/jog between two of them.
