Orienteering 1:17:06 [3] *** 5.5 km (14:01 / km)
ahr:147 max:161 16c
Westmorland: HVO picnic.
Two score type courses available. Preprinted maps. SI.
Brain: W/Y level controls. Each had a multiple choice question. Score points with correct answers. 1:5000 map.
Brawn: Advanced controls. 16 total (10 points each). One hour limit (-5 points each minute overtime). 1:10000 map.
Chose Brawn. Intended to do controls in reverse numerical order. Inadvertently skipped 14, so order was 16-15-13-14-12 ......
Felt really good for about the first 15 minutes, but then the heat, humidity and lack of conditioning began to take hold. Also, this part was mostly down of flat. Went to all controls as I felt extra training was more useful then trying to maximize my score.
Course was advertised as about 6K, but my FR showed 5.5K (not exactly straight line).
