Orienteering 59:33 2.38 mi (25:01 / mi) +2m 24:57 / mi
PG's Sunderland Corn Maze, Classic
First time at this & was I ever out of my league for reasons not clear - even after initial adjusting. So many tight lefts &rights, straights, 45s, 135s etc, let nothing pass unnoted or pay a dear price. Very hard to relocate if map contact lost. Baffled how some got around the courses so quickly. Guess I should return & practice for next time! Was better at the night O but that must have just been further along the learning curve & fact that it was dark was not so significant. Covered more than 5 miles total. Fun time with a small O group. Went to Sugarloaf summit after dinner, before sprint. Sunderland area is lovely. Can see maze above river, right of center, UMass in background, Sunderland center at church. Not sure I've been there in the summer in a very long time.
