Orienteering race 1:10:25 [4] 4.0 mi (17:36 / mi) +160m 15:40 / mi
Ontario Provincial Championships - Middle course
Map was very dense and tough to read even though it was 1:10,000. Had small issues on the way to #2, particularly near the power lines, but the real goof was at #3 where I got on the wrong trail and was totally confused near the control. This was an eight-minute error; my per-km time dropped to over an hour per km. After that I straightened out for a while and was running with Gary Maslanka through the middle. We took different routes to #10 and ultimately #12 which I blew again - aggravated by not noticing that the control was at the base of the escarpment... Winsplits puts this error over 3 minutes, but it felt worse. Thought the next leg was bad, too, but apparently not. Overall, 9th out of 12 which feels about right..
