Laramie Daze, green course, Happy jack map
Lost some time on 3 and 18. Need to as careful on the last control as the first control. I often miss a final easy control because I'm just ready to be done.

Orienteering race 54:27 [4] 6.2 km (8:47 / km)
Laramie Daze, one-person relay, Jubil E. map
Did loops 1, 2, 3, and 4 in that order. Ended up with the same order as Rick so since we tend to travel at similar speeds, saw him much of the time even though we often had slightly different routes (till he did a 180 starting loop 4 and lost 3-4 minutes). Also saw Mike Minium most of the way until he had to get something out of his shoe at the end of the 3rd loop.
Really fun course, with mass start and everyone going in various directions. Had a few hesitations but didn't lost a lot of time. Walked all up hills and some flats but could still run a fair amount.

Laramie Daze, afternoon training on Plains of Despair
Rick and I just got in, after flying into Denver and driving up, and decided to try to get out lungs used to the altitude as fast as possible. Did about 1/2 of the training course.

Orienteering race 2:04:00 [4] 7.6 km (16:19 / km)
Cle Elem day 2, red course
A number of small to medium mistakes today. Not a good run. Probably the big lesson of the weekend was needing to relocate faster. I spent a lot of time making a guess about where I was and then proceeding based on that only to find out I was wrong. Once I had solid relocation points, I was fine.
