Orienteering race 57:09 [4] *** 6.0 km (9:32 / km) +190m 8:13 / km
spiked:13/18c shoes: Brooks Cascadia
Long. Guess this performance rates a B. Slept poorly, not enthused about 0801 start (but did not do anything about it!). Sitting in front of Barth Hall fm 07-0719 wanting to go bk to tent for 2 hr nap when I decided I really did want to have some coffee in Highland Falls! That was galvanizing...Dunkin D & bk by 0745, right to bottom of hill below start. Lots of early activity w/ high school kids.
Clean to 6, then distracted planning 8 & lost way too much time on a trivial leg. Generally ok until last section where I fumbled 3 points, partic 16 - was on compass to where it should be, noted a control to left on knoll & took a sideline for a perusal as if that were a sensible thing to do. Ran thru green briars on way to 17, twice was looking for rock face when descrip said bare rock which proved confusing, surprising as that may seem. On 17, I'm looking for control at top of knoll vs where it was, tucked some 20m away. Finished w/ scratched up thighs which appeared to make a scene. Can recall stopping at a stream in QOC land to wash away 'damage' before appearing at finish but failed to do so yesterday. Left before results posted.
There was a 46+, Tim 54+, George 56+
Another nice spectating finish for interscholastics..
Buckner memorial with Inspiration Point on Popolopen in background...
Cadets did an excellent job, a big order w/ Interscholastics. Nice maps & venues, namely Trophy Point & ski lodge. With Sandhurst military exercises, camping was mediocre. Missed being by the shores of the lake, been going there long enough for possibly a trace of geologic change. I may pay more attn to start times in future. 355 mi home fm Liberty Corner.
