DVOA Tyler - Green
The majority of this was very much a runner's course - but in some places it was not easy to run because there was a lot of mud. Plenty of rain, although once on course I didn't really notice that part. A bit of error on 8, when I lost contact in the scrubby field and popped out on a trail but then went the wrong way while figuring out which trail it was (the one I wanted - but the control was to the left, not the right!). And some bumbling around 10 and 12 where I first got caught up in a bit of deadfall, then chose a bad place to try to walk along the stream and ended up Spidermanning it across a dirt bank where I would have landed in the stream if my spikes didn't hold (they did).
I pushed it as much as possible in the easy parts of the terrain, narrowly squeaking out TGL over Kathy and Lena (they were both within 5 minutes of me).

orienteering race 1:24:20 [4] *** 5.1 km (16:32 / km) +168m 14:12 / km

DVOA Quail Hill - Green
I didn't have any real navigational issues, but sometimes had trouble weaving through the nasty stuff to get into where the controls were. I've only been here one other time, and it was in the winter with snow on the ground and much less undergrowth. I did a moderate amount of running and was still slow, overall showing my current lack of fitness, but also my legs were still tired from yesterday. My body is not used to orienteering after being unable to get to anything all summer.
