Event: 2006 Sprint Series Finals
Map Hike/Run 1:00:00 [1] ****
shoes: New VJ Spikes
More sprint stuff. I'll take credit for 1 hour.
Note
So the SS Finals are over and I am pleased with the outcome. No real problems that I care about, and the winning times I expected (as opposed to the expected winning times) were achieved with the level of precision I will tolerate.
All the ancillary stuff worked very well. The national anthem was a welcome touch of class.
The competition was good, that's for sure.
I was still disappointed by the lack of Canadians, but Jon and the bona fide north of the border Romainian Nick represented well.
And, in general, more Canadians would have been redundant, anyway. No one can touch the HVO trio. They are too good.

Map Hike/Run 1:30:00 [1]

Various sprint and model event tasks. Also did a fair bit of sawing, dragging, and tossing.
Actual time is longer, but I can take credit for this much.

Orienteering race 1:04:00 [3] 8.6 km (7:27 / km) +240m 6:32 / km
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Farsta.
A good race but with some issues here and there. I didn't feel like I was pushing hard or had good speed, but it was kind of rough going, so maybe that was the way things went.
Didn't capitalize on the pack running at first, as I didn't realize that the people I was running with (Vadim especially) were going exactly the same place. Never running a farsta, I didn't know how much forking to expect so I was very conservative.
In the bland stuff out of the start I was very tentative. I truly got lucky there, both times.
I did have some smaller issues in middle part of the loops, both times drifting fairly far off my rough bearings.
At the end, I was running with Eric, who then got ahead and made up some seconds on the final few controls, while barely staying ahead of Jon who was also narrowing the gap quickly.

Run 1:04:00 [2]
shoes: Adidas
TNT.
Ran with Jim.
We did 23:50 out (he tied his shoes) and I did 22:30 back (I ran with him almost the entire way, except that I accelerated at the end of the last hill to tempo speed.) He ran back in 23:19, so good job with the negative splits.
