Orienteering race 1:15:45 [5] *** 5.8 km (13:04 / km)
First leg for the Quantico B team with Karen Strat, Valerie Meyer and Sam Listwak in the Crystal Relay. I did something today that I *never* do...I didn't check one of the control codes. If I had, I would have seen that I had gone to #16 instead of #15, which is where I was supposed to go. Instead, I wandered around, wondering why everyone in my train was going to the top of the hill instead of looking for the copse in the reentrant. Oh, well. As soon as I figured out what happened, I went back to get #15, losing many places for my team. Other that that, the navigation was fine. I wasn't going as fast as I would have liked, but I don't know that I ever do that. All in all, it was a fine time, fun courses, accurate map and a stellar venue.
