Orienteering 1:44:30 *** 7.57 mi (13:48 / mi) +419m 11:47 / mi
ahr:175 max:202 20c shoes: Salomon speedcross 5 - red1
SWSW - Javalina Hustle - Long (10.5k)
Goat style race split onto two maps, each about 5 km long. On each map you could skip 1 control.
Started out strong (aka too fast) keeping up with a group near the front through the first several controls, and even making up some time when I didnt get sucked into people following skippers. I decided to skip #8 as it was one of the best doglegs to save climb and distance. While this did put me out alone, it ended up hurting me as I overshot 10 costing me a lot of climb and confusion, and about an 8 minute mistake!
I slowed down after that and was able to execute my approaches with purpose. At the map exchange I took a little time to ponder options and decided to skip the first control, as it was a 1.5 km leg with a lot of up and down. This let me do a simialrly long leg, but execute almost all on trail with a lot less climb. It was a good mental break. The second map went really well, just some hesitation approaching 19 mostly because I could see people on spurs other than mine, and I couldnt understand why they would be there if they werent headed to the same control I was. Eventually convinced myself I was right (I was) and finished strong.
Fun goat. I should have skipped later on the first map to stay with the pack longer, and therefore avoid my big mistake.
Race was in the foothills at 5000 ft, so it was a lot cooler, and not sunny. Carrying water was still a good idea.

Orienteering 1:33:08 *** 5.8 mi (16:03 / mi) +226m 14:19 / mi
ahr:173 max:198 14c shoes: Salomon speedcross 5 - red1
SWSW Catalina SP - Red
6.2 km, 155m climb
72 and Sunny - a beautiful day for orienteering!
And way too hot for this northerner.... 13 out of 14 legs went pretty well, but 10-11 I was gassed, hot, thirsty and totally lost all focus resulting in 25+ minute error, my worst such error in years! I finally figured out I had run off the map, and found my way there. Determined to not let it get to me, I finished the course strong.
Fun times, hopefully I got that out of hte way and can have a good clean 5 more days of orienteering in the desert :).
