| NEOC "middle."
One of the highest control densities I've seen - 25 CPs in under 6 K. All those controls and some crappy terrain made for slow times. I took it hard out of the gate and was banging things out well through ~5 controls. Then, when I congratulated myself on my immaculate concentration, I saw Brendan, congratulated myself on catching up to him, and proceded to bomb the control. Then, trying to recover, and without much of a plan, screwed #8 (a hard control in an area where the contours are weird.) After than I slowed down a bit, but concentrated on "grinding" it out. Relatively clean after that. When my watch rolled over 50 minutes, I determined I stunk up the woods and was pretty sure I had a poor performance. I was truly amazed to have won the day because it felt like a bad race given two seemingly badly hosed controls. | ||

| Sprint relay leg C. Started a bit after all the top teams. Ran into the cluster of controls at the start and realized I was well to the right of mine. After that I was pretty clean except for the penultimate control (although maybe one or two slightly bad routes.) Caught up to Andy Hall going to 2 and he was with me most the time. | ||

| Pig Classic.
Ok race. Intended to take it a little easy, but be clean. Unfortunately, blew 4 minutes on first control. Much of the rest of the course I kept thinking about it, convinced that something was not right about the control. Most of course an easy level 3 effort. About 2 minutes of additional problems? | ||
| Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [1]*** 2.2 mi (11:22 / mi) | |
| shoes: VJ Spikes | ||
| (Includes warmup.)
Went back ou to check #1. I think control was in the right place, but the map is not correct there. The contours are a bit off. I would not have put a control there -- not based on arm chair setting and definitely not after a site visit. But, most people (and me too) should have had no problem with the control. But because I did, I'm still annoyed at it. | ||
