Orienteering race (sprint - Orange/Brown) 14:47 [5] *** 1.4 km (10:34 / km) +20m 9:51 / km
spiked:9/9c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
At Camp Sekani on the east side of Spokane, WA. US Champs sprint.
Some hesitations early on to read the map and trails (lots of them) but more confident after I started descending the hillside, where I ran as hard as I could. Finished 5th overall (I think), 4th US behind Patty Lyons, Mary Jo, and Natalia D. I don't think I could have beat any of them (Natalia was 13:49, I think, and I don't think I made a minute of hesitations -- and she must have had an error). Patty did great (13:22), and Mary Jo (13:33) also had an awesome run.
We started with a 75 m climb to the start. The orange-brown course was mostly a white course with controls along trails or at junctions all the way down the hill; only the penultimate control was slightly off the trail. The green course, on the other hand, got into some interesting rock details ("rock garden"), though some people had issues with the mapping.
I ditched the flimsy map case (light-weight zip loc type) figuring I wasn't going to be out long enough to trash it without one, and shiny surface was more distracting than necessary.
FR = 1.7 km. (some trails were windy bike trails, or otherwise wound around reentrants on the steep hillside)
