Orienteering 1:50:00 [3]
WMOC - M40, B final. 8.6 km, 220 climb: 1:28:39. Place 65/78
(I'll fill in the blanks later).
Rough day today. I was doing decently until we switched terrain types. The last third of the map was navigating between small hills and swamps. I was navigating in the past, on my heals, defensive, and in relocation mode. The stuff isn't impossible, I just didn't slow down and adjust; sloppy technique.
I also had a 2:30 boom on 5 when I missed a trail junction and then rushed the attack -- this even after I told myself to be careful. I had fallen in a waist-deep swamp hole on the way to 4. On the way to 5 I noticed that the bags weren't sealed and that the eastern half of my map got a bit of water and dirt on it. I missed the trail as I tried to clean it up and make sure my map would survive.
So, not a great day. But it was fun. I did have a good number of well executed controls. It was really mentally challenging my brain felt tired by the end.
Celebrated the end of the whole adventure with a Lupin Kulta beer!
Now we are off to drive up to the artic circle. Hopefully, we won't hit any reindeer. The dopey beasts don't seem to have any fear of cars and just strole down the middle of the highway.
