Orienteering race 1:24:45 [5] 5.9 km (14:22 / km)
West Point Long. Not quite as bad as yesterday, so I suppose that's good? Dropped too low contouring along the hill to #1, but #2 was ok. #3 was pretty bad- somehow my compass bearing went totally wrong, and I ended up way southeast instead of southwest. Not really sure how this happened, because I thought I was being pretty careful, but I should've been lining more things up with the map instead of just using compass I guess. Took a little while to relocate from that one. #4 was fine. #5 I had another really bad compass error, again ending up way too much to the left (a trend? maybe). I ended up back in the region where #3 was, and pretty quickly realized what I had done wrong- a waste of distance more than anything else. The rest of the other controls were actually ok, although for #8 I did a trail run and it took a few minutes to find the trail. All in all, couldn't say this weekend was the most successful ever... but still fun, and hopefully l learned a few things from the mistakes at least.
