Tracking my wanderlust need to get out of town once a month

Track my O progress here

Day Two of the Oringen

I had been warned that today would be the hardest area of the Oringen, so I was nervous at the start. I took a careful route to my first control, and moved pretty well after that. However, I made one small mistake and one big mistake, and I was still too slow in executing my routes (even for me). I felt OK with the run, but diappointed with the time. I was about 71 minutes, while the winner of D35 was about 31 minutes.

We had 2.8 K walk to the start for a 4 K course. Along the way, we passed by several residential areas. At one house, four musicians were sitting outside playing music for the passing orienteers. That was a first for me at an O meet!

Tomorrow should be easier orienteering, so maybe I can move as well as I'm capable.
