Orienteering (sprint) 26:23 [3] 2.7 mi (9:46 / mi)
shoes: O: Falcons 2008
Overall, not a good race. The woods were thick.
I am particulary unhappy about being DQ'ed for a control that shouldn't have even been allowed. I missed #8. The circle is hard to see amoung the buildings, it is a straight line between 7-9 and is a very congested area. I lost lots of time at 20 due to the map. There as rough open scattered trees that was just open/rough open. I thought I must have gone to far on the trail and was still way short as a result. I kept seeing a control in a clearing north of the trail but couldn't find a clearing north of the trail
I was also unhappy with the gimmicked fence corner inside the tennis courts. I had already lost time by staying away from the playground and running through the woods instead only to get to control and not be able to reach it. If they were going to hang in on the inside the least they could have done was to shift the circle slight to show it was inside.
Both these were very poor for a WRE.
