Running 10:00 [1]
Warm up at the early-o'clock. So thankful an early start was made possible so I could make my flight!
Orienteering race 1:18:21 [3]
NAOC Long
Not great, but not as terrible as the middle either. A big mistake to #2 and one other notable one to #10, had to take effort to relocate both times. Frustrated with #2, because I lost contact in the same Bermuda triangle zone as #7 the day before.
But altogether way more fun than yesterday and at least I contributed a few points to Team USA!!

Orienteering 57:24 [3]
NAOC Middle
The worst orienteering I've done in awhile. The first 6 controls were smooth, then got lost to 7 and then just couldn't figure anything out after that. My brain just couldn't figure out the puzzle required to get to the next control. Totally frustrating.
But in a way, I wasn't totally surprised. The reason I've been good at orienteering the past few years hasn't been some sort of magic. It's because I've put in the time both actually orienteering in the woods and thinking and analyzing maps before and afterwards. I haven't really been able to do either of those things this fall and not even as much as would be good for the past year, probably.
Sometimes I've been surprised and still had good races when I feel unprepared, but not today. The red eye flight straight to the race may also not have allowed all brain cylinders to be firing...
