Cut it short because it was getting cold.

Middle distance back at Mounds today. another great course with climb and good route choices. Big mistake on #11 as I drifted to the south thinking I was chasing a ditch that would lead to the control, but headed to far south and was 150 meters away. Sorta sloppy finishing up the course at the end. Ended up 2nd in M-60 for the weekend, took 2 out of 3 from GT in the annual Pig show down/throw down :-)

Day 2 flying pig. Long distance event. Good start till there was this weird trail junction to #5 that messed me up and I lost about 5 minutes on this leg. The bad control was #10 where smart orienteers take the trail around to the spur. Not Me, I went fairly straight and it was super slow. I need to quit having such tunnel vision when looking at legs.
Not too terrible of a run and looked to be 5 th on the green course.

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XVIII / US Interscholastic Champs
 

Middle distance First day of the flying pig.
Bear creek scout reservation.
Pretty good run going until I dropped way too soon off the trail to get #4.
On 5 I went way to the east to cross the river and climb up and down a bunch of reentrants that were not on the map, even though they looked the same as on the map. Sucked up to much energy and the calfs were not conditioned for running up hills. Overall poor day to start the A meet season.
Lots of knee high river crossings and climb marked this muddy day.
