 | Orienteering race 53:54 [4]*** 5.7 km (9:27 / km) | |
| spiked:7/9c |
| Green course at Anza Borrego meet. Disastrous first two controls, going too fast and losing contact on the first, then careless with the bearing and overrunning the second by a fair amount. Settled down and the rest of the run was clean as a whistle. |

| Maze-o at Anza Borrego. Crazy terrain. I was tired, but it was too much fun to stop. Went to 193 first, and couldn't find it for a while. Milled around with a group until Randy showed up and found it, eventually. From there straggling along with Randy and Ron Bortz. After a while, determined that we were not headed to the same place! Randy was going to 195, I was headed for 192 and Ron for 194. These were pretty fanned out controls, so somebody was obviously not going the right way. Anyway, we eventually stumbled on a control. To my surprise it was #197. Peter was there, and apparently off toward 191 so I tucked in behind until he got out of sight - doesn't take long in the maze. Found 191 about the same time j-man came in from another direction. After that did 192, 195, 194, 196 and 198 without incident and pretty cleanly. I was doing a pretty good job of using the drainages to get around. The dismount was a little hairy. I chose wrong at a place where I should have gone right to get left, and ended up climbing up and down some hairy stuff to get to the finish by brute force. |

| Started behind Sharon and Gail, and passed them several times. Lots of boneheaded errors, but fun anyway. I was pretty surprised to see Rhonda catch up to me, after starting two minutes behind me. |
| Orienteering race 1:38:00 [3]4.9 km (20:00 / km) | |
| |
| Anza Borrego Green course day 1. three clean controls, and then couldn't do anything right after that. One of the rare times things got so frustrating that it just wasn't fun. After I found #4 (after about 25 minute error), it got better, but not much. |
