Running 2:35 [1] 0.22 mi (11:41 / mi)
Orienteering 50:35 [3] 5.18 mi (9:46 / mi) +146m 8:59 / mi
One Cowgirl Relay @ Pitcher Hill
Quite a few mistakes out there, frustrating! But ok, here's trying to do some learning from them.
Loop3:
37 - Ran to Loop2's 34 *and* 35 before finally finding my control. Bad. My plan, at least at some point in the hubbub of mass start was to find the fenced-off little pond in the reentrant and then head up the nose. That didn't happen, not really sure why not. So then when I saw a control kinda on a rock, went for it. Was rocky knoll 34. Then should have at least spent the time to relocate properly. Instead went off on a whim to 35. Bah! Finally relocated then.
38 - Fine, had been most of the way there already.
39 - Good, used the white woods sucessfully.
Loop1:
31 - Good, which it really should be given the time I already spent in the area on Loop3. Did fall hard, scraped/brusied knee and hand.
32 - Confidently ran with a plan, worked.
33 - Came out of the big reentrant more left of the line than I expected, but again used my friendly white woods peninsula to guide.
Loop4:
46 - Whoa, different direction on this mini-loop, but did a good job running to spur
36 - And then also mini-hill.
Loop2:
34 - Ug! What? I'd been to this control *already* and this time went to Loop3's 37 first instead. So annoyed at myself. Using the very distinct N-S reentrant between the two controls really would have been a good idea.
35 - 36 - Fine
Final Loop:
Wasn't at all sure where I was in the field heading out. Saw at least that Nick's map was gone, which wasn't surprising. But couldn't see anyone ahead of me going to 40.
40 - Somehow I ended up too low, had to hike up. Maybe the thing I was on wasn't big enough to be mappable?
41 - Far too low. Wanted to make reentrants on the right of the line the reentrant I should go down. Better compass work needed! Caught by others here.
42 - Pretty good, little hesitation in an earlier reentrant.
43 - Found a good route, with minimal sage at the beginning and then a reentrant that also was a little less sage-y. Giant boulder!
44 - Bit of hesitation between the upper and lower hills close to the circle, but convinced myself correctly of the lower one.
45 - Probably could have done this faster. Didn't think about it being the control I earlier easily saw from the start/finish area.

Cycling 46:32 [1] 12.06 mi (3:52 / mi) +15m 3:51 / mi
Nervous that I might lose bike training with these 6 days of orienteering, so the bike came with. Went out and explored the Greenway trailed. Closed in places due to flooding. Did a bunch of loops of the far southern end. Was just me, so got to be kinda speedy there!
