TT Middle. After a bad start (3x1 minute errors on the first 4 controls) partially due to compass & green challenges, I got in the groove and had a reasonble run in tricky mini-ridge/valley terrain. Quite surprised that held up for 3rd, but it was pretty tricky, and probably was hard at 'middle' pace (after an easy Sprint), to keep focussed on clean nav.

TT Sprint - felt bloated (too much hydration/lunch?) so was at wall, but not moving that fast. Could've been a bit cleaner too. 9th. WOC chances dropped non-trivially.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

About half up, half down. Should've done a bit more.

Loop near 252/Turnpike bridge - looks like some veg. was cleared on the E side, plus water & Fiber optic lines were marked, so there's some activity - not sure when they'll be doing enough to close the bridge though...

Set a PR (just barely) on the McKaig time trial loop without really pushing too hard - took it easy where footing was sketchy, and didn't try to sprint all out on hills or open trails... Good. Next two days are easish (30, 15) then Trialing!

VF Fatlands loop. Beautiful day to be home. Very flooded conditions, but trails were only a bit muddy.

Orienteering race 1:02:51 [4] *** 7.5 km (8:23 / km) +330m 6:52 / km
shoes: O-VJ-Grey-Spikes

I spiked more of the controls than the course setter did... Apparently a relatively new course setter made one mistake - deciding to use rootstocks on an old map (most mapped ones no longer exist) - and that spiraled into multiple misplaced controls (200m, fixed by Randy before I ran. Another 100m - lost 4 minutes and didn't run hard for 10 minutes after that... Two more about 50m but got lucky.... All were rootstocks...

Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2 km (10:00 / km)

5 minute warmup. 15 minute cooldown checking one of the misplaced bags.
