Orienteering race 36:48 *** 5.01 km (7:21 / km) +64m 6:55 / km
ahr:147 max:165 spiked:12/14c shoes: VJ Falcons 8
COW - Stage 6 - Long on Deer Creek Hills map. Brown course (4.5k, 95m). Lightning fast since most of the undergrowth was short grass. Course was way short for a "long" course - should've been about 6.5k but that would probably have scared a lot of the Brown runners. Route choice for this terrain is usually "go straight".
An OK run. Lost about 1.5 min swinging way wide on the 3-4 leg - was still getting into the map and didn't read the terrain correctly. Maybe lost 10-20 seconds on control 11 drifting off my bearring and getting distracted by other people. 3rd on Brown, 2nd in M65.

COW - Stage 5 - Sprint on Sierra College map. Brown course (1.9k, 10m). Pretty straightforward small college campus map - quite fast. Missed on the route choice for two of the legs (3 and 10) but it only cost me about 10 and 15 seconds respectively. Got all the inside/ouside corner control placements right. First on Brown.

COW - Stage 4 on Mills College map. Brown course (2.9k, 80m). Long "sprint" on a college campus (course had the character of a sprint but was set for middle distance winning times). ISSOM map (and rules regarding crossability) at 1:4000 with 2.5m contours. Pretty campus with lots of mature trees, some wooded areas, clusters of buildings with moderate complexity and a large hill with about 25m of relief. Nice course by George Minarik using pretty much the entire map.
An OK run with no large errors but several small ones. Four controls with bobbles in the circle and couple with sub-optimum routes. Probably 60-90 sec of errors total. Managed 1st on Brown again but only because Steve T skipped a control (#17, along a straight line between 16 and 18 - probably only saving 15 or 20 sec).

COW - Stage 3 on Point Pinole Regional Shoreline map. Brown course (3.2k, 70m climb). Fairly flat (by CA standards) with lots of rough open areas and a trail network. Wooded areas are mostly open but with some ground clutter to slow things down. Still prettydarn fast. And there's quite a bit of poison oak. Good course by Steve Gregg with lots of short legs bouncing between point features.
A very good run with mistakes of about 15 seconds on two controls (3 and 9). Plus several slowdowns to read the map. First on Brown (29 sec ahead of Dennis W).

COW - Stage 2 on Morgan Territory map. Brown course (3.2k, 120m). A bit more physical than yesterday. More steep hills, more contouring on the steep hills and more rocky areas. Also more poison oak. Another good course by Matej. Twenty controls in 3.2k so no slacking.
An OK run but with one big mistake (~4 min) on control 14 - just not careful on the attack. Hooked in to the controls on 3, 4, 12 and 13. Second on Brown (4 min behind Geraint), first in M60, 28 seconds ahead of Steve.
