 | Note | |
| |
| Did about 20 minutes of walking & slow jogging before the NAOC Long course. Plus walking around the event center, stretching, etc. The start was really close, maybe 300-400 meters at most. |
| orienteering race 1:30:48 [4]*** 7.1 km (12:47 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes |
| Similar terrain to the short distance race, but there was much more opportunity for trail running. Several legs with a good variety of route choices, including one 2 km plus "across the map" leg. Fun course. |

| orienteering race 51:36 [3]**** 3.7 km (13:57 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes |
| Middle Distance race of NAOC. Complex and subtle terrain. Due to the rocky & brushy nature of the area, I couldn't go nearly as fast as I wanted to. On the few short segments of trail, I really opened it up. The last few controls were in a maze of trails near the finish. Fun race, but I would have enjoyed it a lot more with easier footing in a more open forest. Definitely an appropriate and challenging championship couse. |

| orienteering race 21:34 [5]*** 3.1 km (6:57 / km) | |
| |
| NAOC Sprint Race on McMaster Campus. A pretty clean race until the second last control when tiredness & sweat on the glasses caused me to mis-read the map & overshoot a control costing 40-50 seconds. Ouch. That let several more finishers slip in ahead of me. |

Tuesday Oct 3 |
| Note | |
| |
| No chance to run, etc today. Got in a little walking, showing guest around the US Air Force Museum & Dayton Art Institute, but no "training" to speak of. |
Monday Oct 2 |
| bicycling - stationary 10:07 [2] | |
| |
| Not much free time to do anything today, but I managed to get in a few minutes on a stationary bike. I know some people count "miles" simulated by stationary bike, treadmill, etc, but I've never considered them equal to "real" miles walked or ridden, so I'm not going to start counting them now. I also got in a little slow walking, showing a Russian visitor around Newport Aquarium & Mt. Airy Arboretum, but not really anything worth reporting in detail. |
