| West Point A-meet, Red. Only my second time doing the Army's annual A-meet: terrain seemed a lot tougher, and the maps a lot sketchier, than I remembered from last time. My worst per-k number in a long time. Physically, I felt pretty feeble, going up of course, but, probably lose time getting down rocky hillsides. I inexplicably couldn't find the flag on an easy leg (spur, #5), losing over 12 minutes; then probably another 5 minute lost on three others, being stupid or sloppy. |
| Orienteering race 27:54 [4]3.2 km (8:43 / km) | |

| Peter's sprint, really nice course but I was too spent and dehydrated to do anything but jog; and then, by halfway, too braindead to follow the lines on the map. Distance is the course I ran, which added a return to #1 between #13 and #14. |

| Long-o champs at Thacher. Nice day, nice course with three long route choice legs. I'm satisfied with the orienteering: I botched the first control, costing over a minute; then I executed all my routes well (though sub-optimal routes on the first two long legs probably cost me 1-2 minutes each). But I'm a bit disappointed with the physical effort: too much slow jogging on trails, walking up minor hills. Need to do longer training runs.
I think I was 5th M50 both days; only 15 seconds out of third for the short, but well out of the money for the long. |
