Orienteering race 1:16:35 [3] *** 5.9 km (12:59 / km) +53m 12:25 / km
DVOA local meet at Rutgers University. There was definitely a mix of terrain here...from bland to intricate to trail running, with a large amount of knee-high grass hiding things that wanted to trip me. It worked.
This course went better than last weekend, but I still had a rough start with the first control. It was very bland on the west side of the map, so it was difficult to keep track of where I was. After #1, I used compass and pacing for the next few, and then it was basically a trail run through the last 7 controls.
Despite the forecasters' best attempts to make us think it would be rainy today, it was actually only slightly overcast, with a lot of humidity and pretty high temps. [[ I didn't record my splits on my watch. :-( ]]
