Orienteering Meet race 26:44 [4] *** 2.6 km (10:17 / km) +42m 9:31 / km
spiked:11/14c shoes: Silver Solomon
World Masters Sprint qualification.
Really poor race for me today. Very complex beginning of the course with lots of fence, stairs and walls around buildings on multiply levels. I tried to be carful but still got to 4 before 2.
2, 6, and 9 I had the worse splits of anybody just about!
A maze of people running around with controls all over that came up way too quick. No A final for me. Will have to do well in the B tomorrow.

ahr:119 max:163 spiked:17/19c shoes: Icebug green #5
Middle Earth Long event. I was doing well until I made 2 mistakes going to 11. Instead of taking the big trail to the east, I took a minor trail to the west that would run into the eastern trail. Well I messed that up and on the approach offthe trail I dived in too soon. Losing 5+ minutes on this control.i got a little shaky on two more controls near the end.
This was a very cool Redwood forest with lots of trails tourists and ferns.
Very middle earth!

Hiking 3:00:00 [3] 12.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
shoes: Silver Solomon
2 different hikes up from where we are staying in Rotoura. Like hiking in a fern forest. Super clean and clear water in the lake and streams. Weather is cool and the warm sun is welcome. A bit more then I should on a day off, but always good to be out.

Orienteering Meet race 38:43 3.4 km (11:24 / km) +107m 9:51 / km
ahr:143 max:168 spiked:12/14c shoes: Icebug green #5
Middle distance event. From the road we were watching all these runners either go straight up or around a big hill. After control 2 I knew I did it have that route on my course whew! This was a lot like Wyoming with open areas and rock cliffs and ledges. But this area was hit days earlier by Cyclone Cook. So it was super muddy and slippery. Really fun fast paced run except on no 13 I went through the cliff rock area when I should of stayed low. Lost a few minutes. I think maybe the mud on my map didn't help either. Fun downhill finish to the go control. This is the kind of terrain I like more than the jungle stuff.
