Orienteering race 28:31 [5] *** 3.3 km (8:38 / km) +130m 7:13 / km
spiked:8/9c shoes: VJ Falcons 2
US Middle Distance Champs at Letchworth SP (West Side). Excellent run - lost about 1 minute on # 8 by not finding a trail which crossed a marsh on a bridge and slogged through the marsh. Also was off to the left a bit. First in M55, 3rd overall on Green. Nice course set by Dick Detwiler - 5 short technical legs followed by some longer legs in a flatter area with a trail network. Nice weather too, sunny and 70's (reaching the 80's later in the day)
Orienteering race 12:28 [5] *** 2.0 km (6:14 / km) +50m 5:32 / km
spiked:12/13c shoes: VJ Falcons 2
Sprint 2 at ROC A-meet (not a sanctioned event, just for fun - and Sprint Series points). Lost about 20 seconds on # 5 when I got into a mucky marsh and another 15 or so on # 6 when I went a bit too far. 5th overall but would've been 2nd if I was 10 seconds faster. Sunny and quite warm (80's).

Trail Run 43:11 [3] 4.47 mi (9:40 / mi)
shoes: NB 809
Trail run at Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Georgeous day - 70's and sunny. A few muddy spots, but not too wet. One very small patch of snow on the trail in some hemlocks - I suspect it'll be gone by tomorrow. Tried to take it easy, but since the park spans a ridge and parking is at the bottom, it's not possible to avoid hills. Probably climbed 100m or so. Stayed mostly on main trails, i.e. no mtn. bike single track. Legs seem mostly recovered from the BG.

Road Run 29:16 [3] 3.3 mi (8:52 / mi)
shoes: NB878 - #8
Easy road run north on 66 and back. Legs still somewhat sore and tired. Right hip tightened up a bit during the run - what's with that? Nice day - low 50's and sunny.

Event: 30th Annual Billygoat Run
Orienteering race 2:29:56 [4] *** 13.05 km (11:29 / km) +500m 9:39 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 2
Billygoat at Clear Lake Scout Reservation. About 50F with some light sprinkles. Course was 13.05 km with 500+ m climb and 22 controls. Rocks, hills, and mountain laurel. Nice course by Joe M. with a very challenging skip choice decision. Course was a bit long (104 min winning time) with no skip options offering big time savings.
A good run but lost time on 6 controls, mostly due to relying too heavily on others to navigate. Probably lost about 10 minutes total. Ran most of the way with Dave Onkst, who was moving just fast enough to push me, and tied with him for 32nd place overall (one of my highest BG finishes ever). Only cramped once when I tripped going from 18 to 19, but the cramp was short-lived. Still going strong at the end as we were able to pass three people between #20 and the finish. Skipped #12, saving about 300meters of distance and five contours of climb. Forerunner said I went 16.83 km.
