Orienteering race (Red) 2:05:34 [3] *** 8.74 km (14:22 / km) +185m 13:00 / km
spiked:9/12c slept:6.5 shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
Suppose I should get some long training in before next weekend's Lowlander. 6.66 km straight line per the control descriptions.
:-)
I was about ready to start and found that Oslug was ready to go too. She's younger and faster, so I let her go first. We wouldn't have distracted each other with clean runs, but she missed #2, I missed 3 (by a lot), she missed 6, etc. Saw her just a bit ahead at 6 (I was 'offline' to the left...or the map is wrong, but saw Anne there), which surprised me since I thought she was long gone after my spiral around 3. Found 7 by myself, but saw her off to the left of my line again leaving 8 (which helped me correct). We think 9 was on the wrong (unmapped) rocky hill, but I could see it from the one I went to and thought was the right one. Then just tired and slow from there on in, but no problems finding them (people at 11 helped a bit too). Got my foot well stuck in the muck crossing the marsh on the way to 12.
EDIT: Added FR
Next week will be a long slog, I think.
