Event: WCOC / US Team A-Meet/WRE
Running warm up/down (WCOC Ansonia) 24:00 [2] 2.5 km (9:36 / km)
Raining and dull.
Orienteering race (WCOC Ansonia) 38:13 **** 3.2 km (11:57 / km) +100m 10:20 / km
spiked:8/11c
First time at Ansonia and paid price for sloppy mid part- bad bad Dobby gets a C. Started OK then things went awry with 4, 5 and 6 before getting my act back together. On 4 which I took straight and was looking to catch on pond turn left- ran right over it ( dry/swampy) and then relocated on edge of OOB- didn't help much - finally recognized rock wall system- best part of 7 mins there. Should have stuck to original route choice of trail option. On 5 just got offline and checked out 8 on the way - so 1:30 there. On 6 was hesitant and dropped too low- so 30 sec there. Others OK.
Should have been more conservative and stayed in better contact with map. Anyhow managed to recover and not DNF.

Note
Not an excuse but seems a recurrent theme as it happened with Ski O- busy week at work (Board and AGM stuff) and not enough sleep. So tired and needed to sleep in on Sat and not get up at 6 and face 2-3h drive- so mentally jaded when I got there and didn't switch gears fast enough. Day 1 Flying Pig worked because I napped for a few hours before late afternoon start.
