Orienteering warm up/down 15:10 [3] 1.62 km (9:22 / km) +25m 8:42 / km
Our warm up was a relocation exercise where the leader would have the map and run for a few minutes and then trade off.

6c
This was a compass exercise where we did one leg at a time memorizing the point features we would see along the way, visualizing the control circle, and running only with the compass. Coming back we did very close map reading.
Orienteering warm up/down 13:03 [3] 1.43 km (9:06 / km) +4m 8:59 / km
Julia Emma and I warmed down together with another terrain run. Every two minutes we did a 15 second pick up running as hard as we could through the woods. There were a few face plants ;)

Running warm up/down 5:21 [2] 0.56 mi (9:29 / mi) +14m 8:48 / mi
Orienteering 18:02 [4] 1.79 km (10:04 / km) +30m 9:17 / km
We ran two mock middle races at race speed.
I was doing more running than map reading, but my bobbles were pretty short (probably got lucky). I never found one of the controls, I'm not sure if it wasn't there or if I was in the wrong place, but navigating to my next control went perfectly.
Running 3:24 [2] 0.31 mi (11:05 / mi) +12m 9:53 / mi
Staying warm between the courses.
Orienteering 18:22 [4] 1.88 km (9:47 / km) +56m 8:31 / km
Another one!
I tried to plan out all of my routes this time, using the skills we practiced in the morning exercise rather than just running hard. Navigation felt better and smoother, but I still had some bobbles.
Running warm up/down 2:32 [2] 0.26 mi (9:36 / mi) +20m 7:46 / mi
