Orienteering race 1:43:11 [3] **** 7.4 km (13:57 / km) +951ft 11:40 / km
spiked:11/16c shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw Red

Swiss O Week Day 3

Classic

I fell in the lake!! Thanks to all the rain, two swamps and two small lakes merged into one huge lake which totally covered the road, and my route choice, with mid thigh deep water. As I was crossing, I missed the road and fell in! Luckily it wasn't very cold up there and as long as I kept moving, I never got cold!

My race was great in the beginning, then totally sucked in the rocky, vague, unreadable part. I searched for 5 controls waaay longer than necessary.

Hiking 3:00:00 [3] 8.4 km (21:26 / km) +2297ft 15:08 / km

The race today was waaaaay up on top of this Alp, which we first had to hike/climb up to!! Total BS!!! ...but not as bad as having it canceled.

spiked:15/18c shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw Red

Swiss O Week Day 2

Classic

One word repeated over and over and over: MUD!!!!!

Once again, raining all day and after 3000 people have been running around in the woods, it gets a little muddy, or a lot muddy! My race went good. Three mistakes. One a huge route choice error. I ended up battling a steep traverse instead of enjoying a nice trail option... Second mistake was smaller and on the same leg, a slight navigational hiccup. Third mistake was searching for way too long in the general direction of the control. The terrain was super rocky and really hard to read and I didn't go far enough before beginning to search.

Trail Run hills 20:00 [4] 2.0 km (10:00 / km) +820ft 6:09 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw Red

Running to the start because I misread the distance to the start and had to hurry. I made it to the map tent just as the 5 second beeps were starting for my start time! Whew...

Sprint

Good race even though it was pouring rain. I only made two mistakes, one small mistake where I ended up on the wrong side of a short hedge from the control and had to run around it, and a larger mistake where I turned in too early and didn't realize it right away before backtracking.
