Orienteering race 1:52:17 [4] 12.8 km (8:46 / km) +230m 8:03 / km

NAOC long. Pretty sloppy navigation in spots, several 2-3 minute mistakes. Need more practice running through the woods. Nice terrain though, I had fun.

Orienteering race 53:00 [4] 6.2 km (8:33 / km) +160m 7:34 / km
shoes: Green Integrators
Middle Distance at NAOC.
This was a fun fun day. Wet and muddy. Rained all morning, and if that wasn't enough, there were two pond crossings.
The map was rather detailed, and terrain fairly complex. My biggest confusions came from the many hill tops with depressions on top. You had to read very carefully, or you would overestimate hill size. Minor ankle twist, running on the road.
Navigation was cautious and slow, but relatively clean. I picked up the pace on a few of the later controls. I can still improve my times A LOT by picking cleaner lines through the woods, and drifting less from my route.

Event: North American Championships
Note
Mount Laguna
Orienteering race 11:13 [5] 2.1 km (5:20 / km)
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Sprint Races at Green Lakes.
First Race was pretty easy technically, I ran very clean and fast. A couple fastest splits. It is fun to compare against a field of 60 though, and see how much time can be lost on relatively minor bobbles.

Orienteering race 20:56 [4] 3.5 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Second course of the day. A technically harder course, and I was much less clean.
Biggest mistake was a 40 second error, when I ran straight past #10 to #11, before turning back. It took me some time to regain mental focus, and I had several ~5-10 second bobbles in the interim.

Hiking 2:00:00 [1] 8.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
shoes: Grid Cohesions
Walked 8 or 9 miles into town
Orienteering 45:00 [1]
Control pickup at Mendon Ponds, in the dark.
My headlamp was really dim, I could only see about 10m in front of me. It was more stumbling than running, but challenging from a navigational perspective.
