Orienteering 51:00 [3] 5.0 km (10:12 / km)
shoes: Green Integrators
Middle distance course at Truckee flats. Nice course. Moved at a fair pace (pushed hard, but never 'super' hard). I didn't want to irritate my hamstring/knee, and had a minor ankle tweak.
Navigated pretty well, all things considered. Made one big dumb mistake, (there was a butterfly wing, where control 7 and 10 were the same checkpoint... which meant that when I was orienting the map, I took a rough compass from 9-10, using the bearing for 6-7. This resulted in an ~3 minute error). A few bobbles in the control circle, and it took me about 20 minutes before I was doing an adequate job of reading vegetation (would have needed some model-course time to really figure out the mapping, I think). But the best navigating occurred when I ignored vegetation and point features, and focused on topographic features.
