Orienteering 2:23:15 5.85 mi (24:29 / mi) +173m 22:26 / mi

I picked up the northern trek points. I was wide awake at 5. A little after 6, decided to chance my headlight battery and start pickup at 6:30, with sunrise not until 8.
The first hour was black, thankfully all of these flags had reflective strips. A few little spits of rain had me in and out of my rain jacket, but I couldn't stay in it since mid 60s and hiking made it a hot box.
I did the loop backwards from game day for variety.
I got to the furthest out points before it was headlamp optional for terrain, although it was yet another 30-45 minutes before you could easily read a map w/out lights in for the forest.
It was too dark to make too many vegetation mapping notes, other than: that map should be 95%+ white!
