Event: DVOA Germantown Academy

Orienteering race 20:22 *** 3.72 km (5:29 / km)

Sprint 2 at Germantown Academy. 2.2km, 50m. This course was predominately around the buildings of the school, so actual distance was substantially longer than the straight line distance. Route choices around the buildings were tricky since all the buildings are connected by enclosed (i.e. uncrossable) walkways. I didn’t get caught in any traps and I’m generally satisfied with my left versus right route choices. Only real bobble was overrunning the last control since I hadn’t visualized it and was slightly distracted by another runner - only lost 5-10 seconds. Sunny and low 70s.

Course 1 at Germantown Academy. 2.2km, 35m. Course was around the athletic fields and into the woods around them, although all of the controls were very near trails. Very different feel than the other course. Bobbled #10 for 15-20 seconds when I headed the wrong way at a trail junction. Hesitant on the leg to #13 since I wasn’t sure from the map if there was a passable opening between the baseball and football fields (there was but I didn’t fully commit to it until I could see it in the terrain). Took all trail routes since I was doubtful that shortcuts through the woods would be faster. Thanks to Sandy F for organizing and designing excellent courses.
