Orienteering 1:21:27 [2] *** 6.0 km (13:35 / km)
spiked:9/11c
Ran on the permanent course at Durand Eastman. Tough (impossible) to locate several of the controls due to severe undergrowth, etc. Parked at golf course lot.
C1 - 2:16 - seems to be missing (obvious trail intersection)
C2 - 2:19 - also seems to be missing, or covered with weeds
C5 - 4:31
C6 - 7:17 - trail leads to this one now
C7 - 10:39 - map makes this look like smooth sailing thru mostly open area. Reality was some bushwhacking (had to wear shorts, didn't I)
C8 - 4:58 - found stream junction easily, but could not see control
C9 - 23:35 - map is way off - there is much DARK green to get down to the road south of the private property; it wasn't too bad across the road, but I must have misread the contours, because I traversed a couple of spurs with no luck (and I think I found this one last time).
C10 - 9:28 - since I overshot 9, I wound up further along trails than I thought, ran thru saddle where control allegedly sits and 200m further to the road. Went back to saddle and could not see control - but trail is replaced by lots of wandering disruptions of weedy undergrowth.
C11 - 6:45 - didn't fund this one where the trail crosses the stream
C14 - 3:53 - delay to not disrupt golfers (loose use of the term)
C13 - ~3:00 (accidentally stopped watch)
Finish - 2:40
