Event: Senior Team USA Trials
1 PM
Orienteering race 15:54 [4] ** 3.64 km (4:22 / km) +37m 4:09 / km
21c
5:29/km
Mappy
TT Sprint. Had a decent race, but went right on 3 and was confused by the area around the bridge, which caused me to lose 15s, then another 8-10s on 4 when I had started out high but suddenly saw the OOB blocking that route. Only other time loss was 5s on the way to 20, due to taking the route past 16 instead of the one past 17.
First four controls were somewhat technical, but after that it was a straightforward runner's course. Lots of dangerous olive green (especially on the way to 1, where someone was posted), some of which was tricky because it was merely bark/mulch instead of grass, without flowers or shrubs to differentiate it from distance.

Event: Street Scramble Gig Harbor
10 AM
Orienteering (bicycle) 2:33:43 [3] 30.36 mi (5:04 / mi) +879m 4:39 / mi
Gig Harbor Street Scramble, 3hr bike. Had a good battle with Nikolay; officially I won, but only because he forgot to circle one answer. In reality he finished about 4min before me, clearing the course in ~2:29 to my ~2:33. As it happened we planned similar clockwise loops and were more-or-less together for the last hour or so (he caught up while I was bumbling around at the weird/incorrect checkpoint - 45 I think, though I've lost my map), which was fun because it's rare that you get to race head-to-head in a street scramble.
I was a minute or two ahead on the three out-and-back legs east of the harbor, which meant that we kept passing each other as I was coming back from each checkpoint and he was heading out to it, but when we swung back around toward the finish it turned out he took a more efficient route on an earlier leg and picked up two additional checkpoints that I had to tack on near the end, which gave him the winning margin. In general we seemed to be going about the same overall speed; Nikolay is the stronger cyclist, but I was at times taking checkpoints/answering questions more efficiently.
