Orienteering race 43:22 [5] 3.67 mi (11:49 / mi) +160m 10:24 / mi
25c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Black
Red Middle - 4.7 km (220 m) - 25c
Granite Planite
This race was a lot of fun. Very cool terrain and I finally felt like I was able to run at this altitude. Navigation went well. I had some hesitations on a few controls in the first section, but nothing major. I then stopped paying attention and made a 180 mistake out of 11. Only the second time I have ever done that. It should have been so obvious for a lot of reasons, but I was just running without looking at my map. Made it all the way to 16 before turning around. Ugh. Lost at least 3 min there. Only other error was on 18. I thought I had drifted on my bearing, so I turned N. I should have just trusted my compass as I was on the right line. Found the control no problem, it was just a very slow approach. I was happy with how well I read the rocky terrain. A little bummed that I made such a silly mistake.
