| Red course at Ansonia Nature Center. Beautiful day - 50 and sunny. 7 - 8 minutes worth of errors (3 on #10, 2 on #12, the rest spread among 3 other controls). Nice course in challenging but fun terrain. |
| Orienteering 56:03 [3] *** 4.2 km (13:21 / km) | |

| Sprint/Short course at Ansonia Nature Center (after running Red). Advertised as 2.9k, actually 4.2k. Started out at 5 intensity but lost motivation after #6 and just finished the course at a moderate pace. The control code and description for #6 were wrong and I spent 13 minutes relocating and coming back to the flag which I had initially spiked. I guess I expected more from a "US Team - sponsored" event than a fundamental, fatal error in course-setting. Quite frustrating. |

| Road Run 34:51 [3] 4.11 mi (8:28 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 878 - #6 |
| Rt. 66N to Riders Mills bridge and back. Coldest so far this season, 31F. When it's cold I tend to run faster to get/keep warm. Very clear with lots of stars. Why don't (most) motorists dim their headlights for runners? |
