Comments: I competed in an orienteering meet today. I didn't do too poorly, given my out-of-shapeness. I've found that I actually do fairly well when I'm not running fast; I tend to navigate better. I did make one major mistake though. Going from 5 to 6, I didn't realize I was holding my map upside down, so I ran to control 9 accidentally. Oops. That cost me some time.

There's a section of mostly overgrown trails in the park that I've nicknamed "the Maze" because I always get lost when I go into it. Luckily, there was only one control in the Maze this time. I ran all the way around the outside of the Maze to get at it from the shortest distance. I don't know if I gained time or lost time. With the exception of control 6, everything went smoothly, and I was satisfied with my route choices.

I didn't do any writing today.
