Orienteering race (Green Y course) 1:08:09 [4] *** 5.21 km (13:05 / km) +230m 10:43 / km
spiked:11/12c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old)
Smooth and steady pace; slowed down (as usual) by the hill climbs. But the course was decent, including a few legs with route choice that DIDN'T involve just climbing up and over a big spur (versus running WAY around).
Orienteering race (Sprint) 31:44 [5] *** 2.7 km (11:45 / km) +60m 10:35 / km
spiked:11/12c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old)
If you ran this on the beelines you were at somewhat of a disadvantage because of flag placement, for example on #2. If you went down the trail from 1, you could see the flag, but if you went on the beeline, both the feature (narrow fence, I think) and flag were "hidden" behind a wide-enough tree. Bummer.
Lost a couple minutes on the trail between 5 and 6 when a 6" high rock jumped up and tripped me (skinned couple layers off my hand, hit/bruised my knee, that sort of stuff), so I was little slow getting started again, but managed to lope on through the rest of the course without further injury.
So I could probably have done about 3 or so minutes faster...
