Cemetery Hill long sprint, maybe ultralong sprint? Map and course by Phil. A lot of fun, even if the course got the better of me several times. Generally my technique seemed pretty good, reading head just enough, but on several points I was having trouble right at the end. Of course we were using just streamers, not controls.
Mistakes on about 6 or 8 controls, worst was going to ten and finding out that I was not at the crossing point between the ponds. One of those where it's thick going in, and then you find out you're in the wrong place, so it's thick going out.
Scraped my map reading eye at #22, vision was a little blurry thereafter, but didn't seem enough to get a full-blown corneal abrasion, for which I am very grateful.
Got Alex, thank goodness. Ali made enough mistakes that I could have gotten her, but I wasn't nearly clean enough.
The orienteering was followed by a feast at Phil's, so another late night (i.e. 10 pm) dining out in Northampton. Not a bad way to live.
