orienteering race 2:01:56 [4] *** 6.7 km (18:12 / km) +210m 15:44 / km
19c shoes: Inov8 O-roc 280
O in the Pines - Pineridge North/South Long - Green (F-Green)
Interesting differences in terrain from N to S side.
1 - Up trail, in from bend, easy.
2 - Up trail some more, right fork, along stream. Seemed further in than expected.
3 - East trying to catch trail below the area. Had trouble distinguishing which trails mapped and how. Found boulder, then the one next to the trail. Went NE on trail until small rise, then attacked picking off rocks.
4 - Having trouble distinguishing up and down for some reason. Thought control was on left side of rocky spur, actually on right side of spur above rocky reentrant. Lost a little time bumbling.
5 - Straight, marsh as backstop, but saw rock when dropping down even though this side was covered in ferns and moss and stuff. Man nearby approached from other side, said it didn't look like a rock to him. One case where mapping notes were helpful.
6 - Kept small hill to left, but felt like I was going for a long time. Rock seemed further off to right then I expected.
7 - Looked at that wide expanse of... nothingness, except the unreliable-to-cross trails. And thought about how slow I am in the forest here. Then went back out past 3, down the trail, across the main large trail at the bottom of the map, and back up past 1. Probably ridiculously long, but I knew it was safe and I knew I could move. And then I was counting the pine trees and blew it anyway. Came to the big bend at the top of the trail. Turned and did see both the tree and bag on the way back. Blew it on an easy control with the easy route.
8 - Down trails past 1 yet again, right through the multi-junction, then just climbed the hill to the top.
9 - Still with trails. Back to multi-junction, climbed over little knoll to other side and went along until I saw it.
10 - To multi-junction again and in from there.
11 - Stupid, completely missed reading ride/trail thing, went straight through crap.
12 - Dumb again. Right along ruined fence, through big swamp. Didn't consider that road/house area were fair play, even though not marked out of bounds.
13 - Easy
14 - Stupidly got sucked too close to stream by sound of water, ended up in some of those young pines again, down in the U across from buildings.
15 - Trivial
16 - Took most of my 2 minutes here. Crossed leisurely, had a drink, stretched out a bit, examined last few legs.
17 - Up trails and attacked past other big rocks.
18 - Similar to 10-11 leg yesterday, should have stayed below rocks instead. Hit the other trail, counted marshy stream things, saw control anyway from the bend.
19 - Down, down, down.

Event: "O" in the Pines A meet
11 AM
orienteering race 1:11:51 [4] *** 3.4 km (21:08 / km) +145m 17:25 / km
14c shoes: Inov8 O-roc 280
O in the Pines - Pineridge South Middle - Green (F-Green)
Slow moving terrain for me - too much underfoot, especially rocks.
1 - Easy, down trail, cut in to control
2 - Cut through middle to the second trail (missed seeing small trail off to right) then uphill from rocky ground. Picked off 3 rootstocks into control.
3 - On straight line to trail, picked off boulder and then spur with boulder to right, then small marsh, to right of small hill to the bag.
4 - Straight, some hesitation, seemed to be seeing another small hilltop to NE but can't place on map.
5 - Wheels fell off here. Still not certain exactly what happened. Got in vagueish stuff and drifted... maybe left? Hit a trail which seemed like it should be the big one and turned right. Saw a control to my left and disregarded it, as it was on the wrong side. Also a sign far down the trail which I could not read at that distance without glasses. Found a piece of stone wall on trail, thought I was S of control, attacked from there. Nothing, but other people wandering around in there. Started looping around to reattack and thought to check that control I had seen just in case. Came right up to that sign. "Stone Piles" on a big arrow pointing. Doh. It was mine after all. Must have been on the smaller trail?
6 - Straight, not reading terrain well, but saw two reentrants approaching swamp and dropped into the correct one.
7 - Up to top figuring most certain attack. Found a trail and went to E, looking for little cliff but found the big cliff, dropped between cliffs to the rock.
8 - Straightish, to left of rocky ground mapped
9 - Across what looks like white but was really marshy, low pines, chunky underfoot. Came to big trail, couldn't decide on attack, poor visibility. Went from where the second trail curves in on the right. Was a little bit left but people nearby drew me in.
10 - Straight, could be seen from far off once out of the light green.
11 - Straight again, picking through rocks, climbed a little too much, came out above them for a while, then crossed big trail just below the cliff. Down into control no problem.
12 - Ran right to it, lots of other people now
13 - To trail briefly
14 - Easy
