I didn't have much trouble orienteering at Meadowood. The only control that gave me any trouble was the first one. I took off from the start and winged it. Not a good idea. Never a good idea. I found it eventually but I took a very roundabout getting there.
After that it wasn't too difficult finding the rest of the controls. The snow helped. There were lots of footprints to follow. Footprints aside, most of the controls were more or less where I expected them to be. I didn't have any nasty surprises.
It was a fairly cool day. I considered wearing long underwear but decided that it wasn't cold enough or wet enough to warrant the extra layer of protection. In the end I think I made the right call. The only part of me that got wet was my feet.
For the first time I wore a Garmin 205 while I was orienteering. The GPS tracking device redorded my exact route. It was a little more work than I thought it would be uploading the file. I thought it would just be a matter of laying it over the map but there was much adjustment needed. Still, I'm glad I used it and will do so again.
