Orienteer race (sprint) 19:50 [5] **** 2.2 km (9:01 / km) +125m 7:01 / km
shoes: ORoc 10
GLOF Sprint
Good start to the week. Ran under control and "saw" everything; surprising after not seeing real terrain since July. Did miss a route choice late and bobbled the last control. Won some Canada mittens. After yesterday's border crossing, not a big Canada fan so I need to find the Goodwill equivalent here.

Orienteer (middle) 1:07:00 [3] **** 3.8 km (17:38 / km) +180m 14:15 / km

GLOF Middle
Some interesting terrain at the beginning and then pretty blah course. I started poorly to 1 as I was reading the veg instead of the more reliable contours. FIne through 4 and the my common error to skip a control. Grrrrr. Found myself at 6, knowing I'd missed 5. Morale cracked and I stood their deciding how to regroup with my competitive race all but over. Decided to save my legs and walk the rest of the course and get my head back into complex maps. Map walking is an excellent drill but a bit humiliating during a race. It was the right thing to do yesterday. It will be a long race tomorrow and a long week ahead. Gotta keep the body strong and sharpen the mind.
