| Flying Pig Sprint at French Park. Fun sprint with first half in the woods and second half across open fields. Minor error on first control (~15 sec) and a big error on #5 (~1:45 - got confused by the bridge(s) in the terrain which weren't explicitly shown on the map and got into the wrong ditch). Upper 30's and breezy. |
| Orienteering race 19:49 [5]*** 2.4 km (8:15 / km) +120m 6:36 / km | |

| Flying Pig Sprint at Burnet Woods. Second sprint of the day - a bit more open than the first but with plenty of climb. Clean run. Went more or less straight from 12 to 13 - road route may have been faster. |

| Event: Flying Pig XI

| Flying Pig Middle Distance at Miami Whiterwater - North. Nice technical course with a series of 4 sprint type controls at the end. About 3 min total of errors - stopped a spur short on the long leg (#3) and was too far downhill on the quite short eighth leg (#7 may have been farther downhill than shown on the map). Apparently others made more errors since I ended up with the fastest time on the Green course. Temps in the low 40's with some breeze. |

| Note | |
| (injured) |
| Right calf (and hamstring to a lesser extent) still sore from the Valley Goat, so I've been resting them - hoping to be OK for the Pig. Had some cramping during the Valley Goat which apparently the muscles did not like. |

| Valley Goat III, Long version. Beautiful day, 40's and sunny with a bit of breeze. Nice course, but some brutal climbs and descents on rocky hillsides (occasionally partway down the hill and then back up). Flip-flopped with Karl Ahlswede and Phil Bricker through most of the race, taking different lines but usually helping each other into the controls. On the verge of cramping a few times but managed to control it by walking. Couse started and finished on the Mt. Misery map with a loop on the Mt. Joy map. Forerunner measured 16.1km distance.
Updated the distance after measuring it on the map - a 10% bonus over the advertised 13km. Plus 545m of climb based on my route. |
