Orienteering 1:44:28 4.96 mi (21:04 / mi) +533ft 19:07 / mi
ahr:171 max:185 spiked:10/18c
hahaha. hoo. comments later. lost my control clue sheet between 3 and 4, while turning a 5k course into something more like 8k. also learned why real orienteers wear shinpads. looks like i came in second place at the badger fight
nailed the first control, then waaaaay overshot the second. and the third. and straight missed the fourth and fifth before getting my head in the game. need to develop a sense of distance/pace. shot a straight bearing for a few, wihich worked a hell of a lot better than crashing through the brush full tilt. check out this and you can see some of them. also, just discovered quickroute, which is a stat nerd festival. love it. the percentage straight line/as run difference is embarassing at time (326% on leg two. score!) as is average directional deviation (81% on leg two. beats running in a circle around the control. barely) but still fun.
more notes for me:
1 - nailed it
2 - missed my turn. misidentified shiner pond as hammond pond
3 - crossed a trail without realizing it
4 - started out well, shouldn't've dropped down. plus side, cliffs are way easier to id from the bottom
5 - started out well, took a long time to find the control without the hints
6 - ditto
7 - started out real well, convinced myself incorrectly that i read the topo one way, plowed off trail a few dozen meters from the control. nice.
8 - solid. maybe some unnecessary elevation gain, but it was easy movin
9 - solid
10 - solid
11 - wrong turn out of the gate, made some fun easy bouldering moves up the 'cliff'
12 - solid
13 - solid
14 - came up off the road too soon, thought i had missed the trail
15 - solid
16 - solid. poison ivy!
17 - nailed it
finish - solid
