Event: WCOC Gay City State Park
11 AM
Orienteering race 1:11:24 [4] 5.33 km (13:24 / km) +54m 12:46 / km
spiked:9/10c slept:6.5 shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Green course at Gay City, organized by Jim and Rich; nominal distance 4.5 km. Cloudy and 43 when we started, not much warmer when we finished though my head sweated under the buff I used to keep my ears warm.
Woods pretty much open but I couldn't move very quickly. Only real problem was not using the right techniques to find number 8. I should have either: a) used a closer attackpoint, like the trail bend or trail-stonewall junction, or b) pace counted from where I did leave the trail (just past where the stream crossed it). Anyway, I didn't go far enough and second guessed myself when I saw some stonewall to my west...thought it was the long straight N-S piece when it was actually the piece closer to the trail bend. I went out to the trail to relocate and then headed back in and found the flag/feature. Several minutes lost there; about 4:30, after looking at my track.
I went pretty much straight through the green/marsh after 8 and came out near the stonewall jct by the distinct tree. Glen passed me at the end, on the way toward the last control.
6th on the course when I finished, behind Karen (at 50:40) and Trisha Underwood and some guys. Nice day to be in the woods.

Pilates class (bands) 55:00 [1]

Starting from a standing position, then launching into the stretchy bands.
11 AM
Walking (track) 32:59 2.2 mi (14:59 / mi)
shoes: Sauc. Grid Cohes.9 -a 8.5W
Pushing the pace felt okay, and I didn't need to stop and stretch my back today (I did, however, need to do some additional hamstring stretching after the walk). This might be my fastest one (just walking) since I started keeping track.

Orienteering race 1:01:26 [3] 3.78 km (16:15 / km) +79m 14:43 / km
spiked:7/9c slept:7.0 shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
HVO/DVOA dual meet at Silas Condict Co Park in Kinnelon NJ. Nominal dist 2.9 km.
Confusing terrain v mapping on the way to 4, so I didn't do well there. I was close but several downed trees were blocking my view so I climbed to a trail from which I could see the flag.
Confusing mapping near 6 and I walked by it but soon returned for not as much time lost.
Lots of rock underfoot made for slow going at least for me.
Beautiful day (a bit warm), mostly sunny and 70. 5th on Brown when I last looked (ahead of Svetlana F so more points for HVO. :-))
