Orienteering race (3.8km 9.72 min/km) 36:57 [4] 3.4 km (10:52 / km) +108m 9:23 / km
ahr:155 max:212 spiked:10/11c slept:6.5
Middle red at West Point national meet. Beautiful day, sunny and low 50s, slight rain while I ran.
Missed #1 by being a little low on the slope, lost 2 mins.
Spiked everything else - except for the finish! From #11 there was a big fence right in front, with now indication which way to run. I hesitated, looking for openings, and went left, which turned out to be correct. But then I - naturally I thought - ran towards where all the people were gathered, and thought I saw a finish-looking place. Ran to it, only to be told "the finish is in the middle of the field!" So it was...controls in the middle of the field with no other indication. Poorly planned I must say...lost 45s.
But besides the arrangement around the finish, good course and had a good run. Pretty pleased with my time, would have been below 10 min/km if it weren't for the snafus. This is my current goal, to beat 10 in NY/CT tough forests, which is materially faster than I ran last year or the year before. Placed around the middle of Red (M35 through M45, M20, F21), owing to lots of fast runners...
