Event: SMOC Bishop Lake
9 AM
Orienteering 3:52 0.26 mi (14:53 / mi)

#73, #75 by car, shuffled into camp for #72
Orienteering 1:39:48 4.08 mi (24:28 / mi) +104m 22:40 / mi
ahr:144 max:189 7c
I staged water by the big hill on the way in via cup de sac (trail junction to the east), and used the big bag to lug a couple jugs to #83, which wasn't bad once I realized all of the hunters just park along the drive anyway.
ALL of the tape was there except...I think...#96, one of the most remote. Paced it from two directions, confirmed details via text, and took my best estimate. I think it's right, it's just one of those ones that's way more subtle than I would normally use - the Jens thing to do here is just move to the NW depression. Kind of a classic quality Igor location - shallow shallow reentrant that has a bottom that's not a u as you look down hill at it, more of a ---, so definitely harder to read from the bottom and not as glaring from uphill.
Control sites were all beautiful, woods are gorgeous, fantastic design!

Orienteering 41:43 [3] 4.98 km (8:23 / km)
shoes: Roclites 295 2
LiveLox since watch was dead (didn't think to charge it for hanging plus a run.)
Ran out of time, but thought I could still squeeze in a hot Orange. I need several asterisks after my name, since I ended up having previewed #2, #4, #5, #6, and #7 via hanging or double checking. Biggest mistakes was on #8, where I comically missed the split to the high trail (which even had a white flag!!) and had to waste some ascending from the N.
Narrowly missed my 10:00/km target at 41:43 versus 40 flat.
Intentionally took probably the sub optimal route to #5, I think left on trail hard then cut over is probably faster, but I'd previewed that specific off trail section so didn't want to repeat it, plus curious how going straight will compare.
Orange is fun since you can hammer so much and if you aren't in shape you can mostly muscle through. I need to race that hard on red when I can run 2x as far as speed!
