Bah! Hamstring started painfully twinging with every stride somewhere right after 9. I tried to stretch it out and keep going once, but the pain returned after only about 1 minute. So I quit. Boo.
So the part of the race I did do:
14, I mean 1- Mistake out of the start- tried to go to the GO control, whoops! Realized before I entered the woods, but at least a minute mistake.
2- Fine, little unsure about stone wall on way in.
4- Over top, didn't really register light yellow on way in, but stone wall+ reentrant were enough.
5- Straighter than necessary?
6- Went right by. In a little low vis area. Maybe better attacking from yellow.
7- Racing Jeff Schapiro, he beat me. I got a bit distracted from my plan, had to consider what swamp I was in.
8- Slightly worried by first boulder, turns out it is on the map, just directly under control circle.
9- Nervous heading to back side of spur, but boulder was basically right where I wanted it.
And, possibly exciting, this morning I realized I'd orienteered here before- one of the 3 times I orienteered as a teenager. I was organizing my maps and found an orange course of Beech Hill. And apparently the area hasn't been used since?
