Because we spent 1:15 trying to cross the GW, I didn't do a lot of warmup or warmdown--this is probably it.
Orienteering race 14:42 [4] **** 2.1 km (7:00 / km) +50m6:15 / km shoes: Jalas
SS Finals race #1.
Took this one aggressively, but to my detriment.
Got stung by a bee at 1 which caused some acceleration. Hit the ground hard leaving 2 and had to gather myself.
Lost probably 2 minutes all told--3 x 30 and change here and there.

SS Finals course 2.
A different flavor race. Felt more like normal orienteering. Thought I was running as hard as the first one, but honestly probably slacked a bit. I also thought I orienteered more cleanly, but in retrospect, not so sure. About 1:30 in errors.
Orienteering race 16:49*** 3.2 km (5:15 / km) +60m4:48 / km shoes: Jalas
SS Finals Course 3.
Decided to run this one easy as agreed with Greg. Also, thought Vadim was going to run easy--but they both apparently were racing.
I enjoyed myself with a mixed effort race. Very clean and very controlled. Much better orienteering than in the first two.
In retrospect, I could have run it harder or accelerated at the end, but I think discipline is important.
