| Day 2, the long-O champs. A very good run, my best result in a big meet since I took up orienteering six years ago. 2nd in M50 (1 1/2 minutes behind Charlie S.), 4th fastest on GreenX (but still 10 minutes behind PG). Only lost time (2-3 minutes) on one leg, #6, due to twice finding myself on the wrong trail and having to correct (once by cutting through nasty veg, once by backtracking), and taking forever to get across the river and up the embankment. (I went in about mid-thigh, to the amusement of a father and child looking on.) I was slowing towards the end, but I'm in the best shape since I got injured last winter. |

| Orienteering race 45:36 [4]5.2 km (8:46 / km) | |
| |
| DVOA A meet at Fair Hill in NE MD. A short Green course. Very nice terrain. Map is about half open areas with pockets of mostly open woods, so times were fast. Not a very satisfying run, even though the per k time was under 9. I started off sloppy, with a one minute mistake on 2, and a two minute mistake on 5. (The short legs kill me.) Then, I settled down, but I lost 1 1/2 minutes on 8, the fake dot knoll, because from the direction I came in, the flag was hidden behind a root stock and I kept going to the next real knoll. 7th in M50. |

| With Peter, from his house. To the gate, down to the river, up to 47, then back on the road. Solid, training pace throughout: just the sort of run I need to build strength. Temp in low 40's, which is ideal for me on longer runs. |
