Orienteering race 55:11 4.14 km (13:21 / km) +138m 11:26 / km
ahr:136 max:160 spiked:15/18c shoes: 2017 Inov8 ArcticClaw 300
Brown day 1 middle @ Morgan Territory near Livermore, CA. Nominally 3.3 km, 110m climb Temps near 45F with showers holding off until after I finished.
2/5 in F65 (13 minutes behind Penny DeMoss), 7/19 among women on Brown.
Trouble getting into the map to number 1 but settled down after that. Couple minutes error there. To 7 I looped around more than necessary (15 sec?), and then messed up 16 by exiting 15 at the wrong angle, and checking out a control that I was pretty sure wasn't mine. Looped by 17 on the way to 15, so I knew what it looked like when I returned. :-)
Started two minutes after Karen Didisse, who made an error at control two, where I caught her. We flip flopped (she a bit ahead when she wasn't making mistakes) through much of the course and she finished ahead after outrunning me from 17 in (but a minute and a half back overall).
Recommendations for Brown courses are to avoid placing controls on mapped features in cluttered areas of the map but many of ours were in hard to read areas. I managed okay with my glasses-plus-magnifier but would have had difficulty without the magnifier. At least the climbs were reasonable (the watch reported greater climb than "nominal").
I enjoyed most of the course, especially the control picking near the end (14-17).
