Orienteering race 1:40:52 [4] 7.6 km (13:16 / km) +380m 10:37 / km
Returned to F21 for this course, and was the pentultimate runner out on Red (Nadim was last and he caught me at #7). I messed up pretty badly on the first control. I found a control in another ditch and headed the wrong way to look for mine. Lost about 5 mins. The climb in the beginning was also tough, but I managed it better than I would have a year ago. Once I hit the flat bit, I felt fine. I messed up again on #6...got caught in thick green with no distinguishing features. However, I managed to relocate off of two bits of fencing a small ditch, so I was very proud of that. The rest of the course went well, except for a full face plant in the swamp between #11 and #12. A mouthful of swamp water is not pleasant! Ended up about where I would have expected in the results...towards the back but not last.
