Orienteering 16:54 [4] *** 2.7 km (6:16 / km)
spiked:15/19c
ROC Sprint Series race #2 at Seneca Park.
Very light turnout for the sprint, which is too bad because it was an excellent course - much better than the Score-O. I started about a minute behind Chelsea, who was perhaps a minute behind Zach. I caught her leaving C2 and got ahead, but she picked the better route choice (short connecting trail vs thru some medium green) and almost caught me. I got within sight of Zach around C6 and passed him leaving C8, I think. I was attempting to head down the serious gully leaving C9, when Z ran around behind me and I gave up on the descent (not sure the ascent would have been possible on the other side).
I passed Zach again after another couple controls and was able to pull away, despite a couple of bobbles (one was on the leg that was supposed to go thru registration, the other was a poor line going toward the road to C17).
The Schirminator was in town, but he left the door open with a 2-minute error, but I am so slow these days that he still beat me by 1:45. Ouch.

Orienteering race 43:16 [4] *** 5.5 km (7:52 / km)
spiked:18/24c
ROC Score-O at Seneca Park.
Spiked is an estimate. Most of the non-spikes were early on, mostly just hesitations that were long enough for Peter Dady to keep getting close to me.
Score-O was well-done for such a long and narrow park, but not as interesting as the Sprint. With the Schirminator in town and Rob going around the course with his kids, 2nd was a foregone conclusion, but I should have been much closer to Erin that to Peter, especially since Erin did the 60-minute Score-O in under 30 minutes, except he had to go back to a control that he missed for one that was ("illegally"?) too close to another.
I haven't been on maps enough lately. I think it is time to organize some Warrior O training sessions - probably doable with nate back in town.
