orienteering 2:26:48 [3] 6.8 km (21:35 / km) +215m 18:38 / km
Red course at HR. I thought the course was fabulous and the map unbelievably accurate for being 35 years old. I walked just about the whole course knowing that I was on tired legs and perhaps that saved me from making mistakes since I was always pretty much where I thought I was. I was only slighty off on #2 when I started looking a little too far north not reading the broad reentrant correctly, #4 when I got fooled by an extra clearing to the southwest, and #5 when I started down a parallel ridge but quickly realized I wasn't really on a spur and bounced over to the correct one not really loosing much time. Other than that the controls were exactly where I expected them to be. I was being careful and as a result felt really confident and things were looking just as I expected them to.
I thought the woods were glorious but I was apparently in a minority of one.
Didn't really feel tired but glad there was water at three controls (I drank at all of them) and glad that I took some shot blocks with me.
