 | orienteering race 42:35 [5]4.8 km (8:52 / km) +175m 7:30 / km | |
| |
| day 2, considerably better. About 1 & 3/4ths min mistakes, on #4 & 5 from not looking carefully/long enough at map but at least figuring out what was wrong in 20"-30" at most. Could have, at best, been 40' plus, Sam Saeger at 32+, a few 38-9 (incl meet director) & a couple under 42' as well. Lovely land, coldish moonlit nights/frozen water first night), coyotes yapping, hot days, welcome sunrises, brilliant sunsets, one windy night, windy middays, 2 unstaked tents that blew afar, 3 nights camping/creative 'showers', very starry nights before moon, a potluck dinner, a dark & lonely road that warned of illegals & drug smuggling (Thurs night when the place was apparently empty). Visited Tombstone/Boothill. Finished up with Colossal Cave & Sagauro Nat'l Monument & night at Red Roof short dist from Phoenix airport. With Deb Humiston & daughter Hannah. Easy SW nonstop flt back to 46 deg at 1730 & car that started. |

| orienteering race 1:01:13 [5]5.6 km (10:56 / km) +170m 9:29 / km | |
| |
| day 1 Western States champs, good run except for second control, lost about 7 1/2 min comparing to Ron Bortz (2:27 to my 10:20), ran about in circles & then back to sight first control as in compleat amateur. Energy OK but looking at M45 red or, say, Samantha Saeger on my same course shows that old age is upon me. |

| PM sprint, good run however tired. Maybe 30" errors, beat most of others over M50, incl Ron Hudson by 16". |
