Orienteering race 1:09:00 [4] 7.0 km (9:51 / km)
First time at a WPOC meet @ Hartwood Acres - Long "Scramble".
Weekend with nate continued. While the younger boys were winning the Middle Champs down in Georgia (Luke in M-14 and Zach in M-20), we were driving to the WPOC meet. The long scramble had 21 controls, which consisted of 5 controls separated by 4 boxes, each with 4 controls. Not a whole lot of options for the order of the controls in the box, but there was some.
nate started 4 minutes behind me and almost caught me in the first box. He didn't want to go the same way to C6 as I did, so he took what turned out to be a poor option, then finally went by me in the second box. I still caught sight of him in the third box, but he beat me by about 13 minutes total, as my legs got heavy later - combination of the hills and yesterday's 5K.
