Trail Run 21:45 3.64 km (5:59 / km) +11m 5:53 / km
ahr:123 max:142 shoes: NB 573 Trail Shoes
At Peebles Island State Park while Janet vetted control locations for the Speedy Goat. Ran mostly the perimeter of the island. The lowest I've ever seen the water level, especially for April. Marshes were wet but noticeably smaller than normal. Beautiful day - 60, sunny and a bit of breeze.
Orienteering 13:13 *** 1.91 km (6:56 / km) +14m 6:41 / km
ahr:138 max:151 spiked:7/8c shoes: NB 573 Trail Shoes
Just happened to have an advanced copy of the courses for the Speedy Goat, so I ran them. Ran hard but didn't red-line. This was labeled Sprint A. No flags (and Janet was in the process of putting streamers on some of them) but the visibility was excellent and most of the control features were obvious. Came out on the wrong angle from one control so didn't hit the trail I thought I did. Corrected when the vegetation didn't match. Spent some extra time at one control since the map and terrain don't agree - later conferred with Janet and decided to change both map and control location. I think I would have been in the 10 - 11 min range with flags and racing, so the fastest guys will probably do 7 - 8 minutes. Nice course.
Orienteering 13:15 *** 1.83 km (7:14 / km) +13m 7:00 / km

Sprint B from the Speedy Goat. Hit them all OK but took a circuitous route to one control and also spent some time looking for a corridor through the vegetation which wasn't there (map to be modified). Fastest should be 7-8 minutes.
Field Checking 26:00 0.69 mi (37:42 / mi)
ahr:84 max:126 shoes: NB 573 Trail Shoes
Wandering around one of the Sprint A controls to improve its location and mapping. Plus jogging back to the car.
