Orienteering race (sprint) 37:06 [4] *** 2.33 km (15:55 / km) +135m 12:21 / km
spiked:3/12c

Sprint course at Joaquin Miller Park. This event had more competition than the other sprints this weekend. A great technical course, I didn't spike many, but didn't have major mistakes either. One poor route choice.

Orienteering 45:55 [2] *** 1.8 km (25:31 / km)
spiked:5/7c

Brown course at Joaquin Miller park. I didn't find this quite as technical as the sprint, but more physical. Then again, I was walking this course. Still made at least one significant blunder, making assumptions about where a trail went instead of actually checking the map carefully. Overall, an extremely enjoyable weekend. Very glad that I went.

Sprint - Splits

Sprint at Golden Gate Park. Nice technical course. Lots of tricky stuff.

Orienteering 1:12:35 [1] ** 4.7 km (15:27 / km)
spiked:6/7c

Orange course at Golden Gate Park. I walked just to take a little park tour after running the sprint. After the previous night's events and the sprint, my legs were pretty tired. By the end of this course I was going pretty slow.

Orienteering race 59:34 [3] *

Urban Goat in Oakland followed by dinner. Lots of fun. Much more downhill than uphill, but still there were a few difficult hills. Ran more than I thought I would, but walked the uphill. Still have to save something for tomorrow's sprint.
