Orienteering race 1:22:01 [4] 8.8 km (9:19 / km) +195m 8:24 / km
ahr:136 max:148
Day 2 of DVOA Queen of the Hill, at Fair Hill - Big Elk. Beautiful weather, 60s, warm for November.
Legs felt very heavy today, tired throughout the race. And some very sloppy navigation made for a disappointing result.
#3 control was well hidden between two rootstocks, did a nice loop, 1 min.
#4 control by root stock, I saw the fallen tree and looked carefully for the control, didn't see it for some strange reason and did another loop to look for another rootstock. 1.5 min
#7 was a fight to get through the green and I ended up more E than expected, and so was confused about where I was. 1 min.
#10 spectacular example of being overconfident in a complex deep green area with lots of mountain bike trails. Small parallel error led to misinterpreting an intersection and running N instead of E on a trail, then getting very confused about where I was and running back and forth a bit. 3 mins.
#15, hjärnsläpp, maybe because I was very tired thought I was further down the path than I was and thought I had run too far, went back, still didn't see the path intersection I was looking for, starting theorizing the path was hidden (!) until it clicked. 3 minutes according to attackpoint, but don't think my confusion cost more than 1.5. Rest was because I walked uphill, too tired.
#16, managed to get direction confused around the horse fields, 30 secs.
10 minutes in total which is ridiculous on a course like this. Very disappointed with sloppy navigation, on top of tired legs.

Orienteering race 56:49 [4] 6.2 km (9:10 / km) +147m 8:12 / km
ahr:144 max:156
DVOA Queen of the Hill, at Iron Hill in Delaware. Very good running conditions. But I mispunched - I think for the first time ever, certain first time since 2016 - missed #11, part of a busy butterfly. Didn't realize I should have gone to it until after looking at it after finishing. According to GPS I actually ran right past #11 on my way to #12, but I didn't see or at least didn't react since I didn't think I had a control there.
Other than that, ok run but a number of small misses on technical course. #1 got lost among the indistinct trails, lost contact and went too far, relocated by realzing I should just look at the contours, 2-3 mins. #6 went 20m past it at first, 1 min. #7 went to the depression 15m NW but must have run right past the right one and had to double back, 1 min. #9 saw the small gully but thought I was further S, doubled back and followed again with more method, 2 mins.
Total mins. Attackpoint says 8 minutes, Disappointed in my sloppy navigation today.
Fast woods, my running speed was ok except uphill!
