Orienteering (WUOC Middle) 1:02:00 [5] 6.9 mi (8:59 / mi) +50m 8:47 / mi
shoes: Salomon Men's Speedcross 3
-vegetation was the most useful location feature. Due to the distinct and dense trees that dark green is on the map, it proved very helpful especially in such flat and generally featureless terrain.
-although it is important to be slow and smooth, I found it more helpful to pretty much sprint towards the point until I hit a catching feature. Was there, I'd more carefully move towards the point. Simply due to the incredible speed of the other athletes, going slow and steady would've taken me far to much time.
-every second matters--I found myself taking time while at the point instead of punching and running (like one would in a sprint). Check the control number prior to arriving at the point and pre-plan the next route, so that all you have to do is execute for the next point.

-made one route choice at a fork that would be much slower
-2 additional small mistakes pretty much took me out of the center pack
-work to be done in improving at sprints, but considering this was my second sprint ever, it wasn't too awful

A few points of analysis concerning terrain and technique:
-Logging trails or "rides" are ubiquitous here. Probably a useful catching feature, but they can also look like actual trails or, on the other hand, ditches. But at least familiarization was achieved.
-Vegetation is very distinct. Dark green stands out immensely and swamps are only green, marshy grass. So knowing both will certainly aid me.
-Runnability is excellent; but compass use should be frequent. The terrain is flat and fast (for the middle at least); but this can also lead to running in slightly wrong direction. So staying in contact with the map and compass is crucial.
