| Sprint Model Event. Did the sprint model event at a run/jog pace then did a bit more walking around to check out the woods (which turned out to be a bit worse than the actual sprint terrain). |

| US Sprint Champs at Prince William Forest. A good run with probably about 30 seconds lost, mostly due to minor execution errors mid-route. Hesitated some on the early legs, but I think that paid off since I hit all the controls pretty well. Second fastest time on M50, fastest US M50, 5th fastest overall on Green. |

| Event: WCOC DuO #3, Huntington

| Orienteering race 1:07:35 [4] *** 7.1 km (9:31 / km) +140m 8:40 / km | |

| Long course at CNYO event at Gilbert Lake SP (two loops/maps, basically a short orange course (2.8k) followed by a green course (4.3k)). Raining, fairly hard at times, but temperature was about 60F, so rather nice for running. Every reentrant was a stream (including lots of unmapped ones). Lost about 6 minutes total spread among 4 controls. Was slightly off on a few others but spotted the bag and corrected. Nice to get a chance to finally run on the map (it was used 3 years ago for the Halloween Howl A-meet but I was involved helping run the event and didn't compete). |
