Orienteering and First Light
HVO‘s weekly orienteering training was on Thursday, so after work I went up to Black Rock Mountain (a bit west of Little Long Pond in Harriman Park). We did sprint training, which means that the controls were about 150 to 400 feet apart. Thanks to my new watch, I’m able to time each leg individually. Here’s how I did:
| To Control | Leg Time | Total Time |
| 1 | 1:35 | 1:35 |
| 2 | 1:40 | 3:15 |
| 3 | 1:06 | 4:21 |
| 4 | 1:18 | 5:39 |
| 5 | 1:14 | 6:53 |
| 6 | 0:38 | 7:31 |
| 7 | 3:16 | 10:47 |
| 8 | 2:03 | 12:50 |
| 9 | 1:07 | 13:57 |
| 10 | 1:26 | 15:22 |
| 11 | 2:56 | 18:15 |
| 12 | 1:26 | 19:41 |
| Finish | 0:53 | 20:34 |
Next, we tried running the course the other direction. I did pretty poorly, and gave up after 35 minutes or so, since the end-of-exersize time had been reached.
Afterwards, I took some pictures with the new camera on the way home. Here (or here) are some pictures I took. Not exactly breathtaking, but not bad, I guess. The sun had already gone down, so there wasn’t a lot to work with.
