Running 5:00 [1]
Didn't really warmup to the start- it was right next to our campground- but I did jog around a bit
Orienteering race 42:50 [5] 4.4 km (9:44 / km)
Day 1, Middle
Actually really happy about this race!! Haven't had such a clean run in a while. I had a bit of trouble with #2, in kind of vague swamp detail... and #5, because I thought I only had to cross 1 trail before the control when actually I had to cross 2. Also dropped down on the hillside on #10 probably sooner than I should have, because the running was much better high on the hillside than low on the hillside, and if I stayed high I would have had a clear attackpoint. That said, all this stuff is pretty minor and overall it went well

Easy run. Braved the woods for once and the flies weren't as horrible as I expected so that was nice.

Orienteering race 1:03:00 [5] 5.3 km (11:53 / km)
US Classic Champs day 2
I think I had a better time than yesterday but I did not run a very smart race... For so many controls, I couldn't come up with a clear route choice and ended up just using my compass to essentially go straight to the control. Sometimes this worked out, sometimes it didn't... although when I got off the bearing I was generally able to catch myself before the leg turned into a complete disaster so I guess that was good. I wouldn't say that I had any huge mistakes but I also hit very few of the controls straight on so all in all it was kind of mediocre
