To start of UNO NRE at Pawtuckaway. Temps in 70s already when we arrived.

It was here at Pawtuckaway that I participated in my first ever A meet, on the orange course in F-open, 30 years ago (Oct 1992) when the US orienteering community also hosted an orienteering World Cup race here, with plenty of sponsors and prizes. Made quite the impression on me, and I kept coming back for more.

Orienteering race (Brown X) 1:25:49 intensity: (4:15 @1) + (53:37 @2) + (26:11 @3) + (1:46 @4) **** 4.5 km (19:05 / km) +45m 18:11 / km

Brown X course, 3.8km (110m climb?), 1:7500 map

Determined to go slower than usual to try to keep my heart rate lower and not push things. My plan was slow and steady and I seemed to manage pretty well. My non-spiked control was #4 where the hills at the end looked a bit different that I had pictured; also I didn't read the description at first and thought I was looking for a hill when I actually wanted a reentrant between two hills. I didn't hit either but did recognize the hill as the one to the south with boulder clusters and corrected.

I lucked out a bit to #5 as there were a couple of cadets also looking for it and I saw where they punched (I was unsure how far I'd gone at the time).

To 6, after I crossed the beaver dam I headed S on trails as far the intermittent marsh near a trail bend due E of the control. Carefully followed features until I hit the green marsh, which I decided to skirt around to the S, thus the wiggle there.

Slow and steady worked out for me. When we left there were only two folks finished in my class (not sure how many registered...) and I was 1st. Also was ahead of an M65 and an F60.
