Orienteering 2:26:12 [3] 6.2 mi (23:35 / mi)
SMOC Meet at Bishop Lake
Trying to rely less on trails while navigating. This course was nice because it really forced me to do that. Walked most of it, jogged a bit on trails and more toward the end. I got tripped up on 6. Saw a couple guys heading up a hill, so silly me I thought I should follow. It was not the right hill. As I was heading back out toward to trail to figure out where I was I stumbled on 12 (what are the chances?). So reoriented myself and found 6 without any more trouble. All was well for a while. Then 9....ugh. Wasn't where I thought I was as I crossed the trail. Wandered around for a while before finally going back to the trail to figure out where I was. Every time I've done an o-course here I mess up on this same section of the map. The rest of the course went smoothly. Really happy with how I did.
