Swimming 33:00 [2] 1.0 mi (33:00 / mi)

Pool felt good and I was moving. I would have broken 33 if I hadn't had to stop early on to check the clock to confirm my lap count.

Field Checking 30:00 [1] 0.8 mi (37:31 / mi) +40m 32:28 / mi

One site and then the rest of the road (level and nice) that I found on Thursday.

Field Checking 3:15:00 [3] 7.3 mi (26:43 / mi) +320m 23:31 / mi

More field checking. Discovered that old power line ride is now a two-lane highway. More map corrections coming. Alas, mapping this out cost me time and now I have one site (round trip 0.4-0.5 miles) to visit tomorrow. With the price of gas, this stinks...

Field Checking 1:25:00 [1] 2.5 mi (34:00 / mi) +220m 26:42 / mi

Field checking of one site for US Rogaine Championships. Bad weather (mixed precip and we were soaked) caused us to cancel rest of outing upon returning to car.

Thursday May 15, 2008 #

Swimming 34:48 [2] 1.0 mi (34:48 / mi)

Very slow; very distracted, but may very well have done an extra lap as well...

Watercize 52:00 [1]

Wednesday May 14, 2008 #

Field Checking 3:30:00 [1] 9.5 km (22:06 / km) +350m 18:40 / km

More site positioning for US Rogaine Championships; now down to multiple ins and outs from the car.

Swimming 33:18 [2] 1.0 mi (33:18 / mi)

Very warm pool, so I am happy with the time...

Watercize 55:00 [1]

Saturday May 10, 2008 #

Field Checking 4:45:00 [1] 12.0 km (23:45 / km) +230m 21:40 / km

More site checking and map updating for US Rogaine Champs. Dealt with relocation of Finger Lakes Trail north of ASP 3 and attendant alternate control sitings (since two original sites are now essentially on the trail).

Friday May 9, 2008 #

Field Checking 5:15:00 [1] 14.0 km (22:30 / km) +400m 19:41 / km

Site checking for US Rogaine champs. Had to relocate two sites, one due to an amazing set of flat boulders with vertical sides 8-10 feet high that formed a maze right where we had planned to put the flag. Oops!

Orienteering 1:40:10 [3] *** 6.94 km (14:26 / km) +275m 12:03 / km
spiked:8/14c

West Point Classic (Red). Late start meant I didn't have the fog problems that other folks did. Clean to #1, but I overran #2 by 150 m and was way down hill. Had to recover to top of hill before finding flag. Had to remind myself that an eight minute error was not a good thing, but that I could still do respectably if I focused. Did fine to #8 (went way left to #7), but took a dubious route to #9 and bobbled it. Was slow through the blueberries to #10, was slow down the cliffs to #11, visited the wrong knoll for #12, but corrected well, and was slow down the cliffs to #13, the only leg I disliked all weekend. Finished strong with an okay time that appears to have held up as a good one.

Event: West Point A-Meet

Orienteering 1:31:06 [3] *** 4.23 km (21:32 / km) +170m 17:56 / km
spiked:8/14c

West Point Middle Distance event. Started slow as I needed to adjust to West Point maps. Sped up until #5 when I bobbled and was one spur off. Fortunately, I saw the control and adjusted. Good then until #10 when pack was all going left and pulled me left, too; control was to the right. DISASTER at 11 when I went 8 contours too low and hung out there for much too long. After that I more or less meandered in.

Orienteering 27:36 [4] 3.13 km (8:49 / km) +80m 7:49 / km

West Point Sprint. With Ted Good starting two minutes behind me and Mike Lyons four, I knew that I would get passed by people who would probably know where they were going. The real question was how long I could hold them off. I bobbled #3 a little and Ted started to come up behind me. He visited #8 on the way to #5 so I punched in just ahead of him. He moved more quickly across the rocks at the base of the cliffs to #6 and was ahead of me to #9 when I finally lost sight. I was clean through #12, but heard Zach Lyons scream "go, dad!" as I passed through the spectator area. Mike passed me on the way to #14 and made that attack easy. Lost sight of him heading to #16. Bobbled the last control as I thought that I had skipped one; stood there while I recapped the last three controls on the map and verified that everything was cool. All in all, one of my better sprints.
