Event: US Classic Champs
Note
(rest day)
Rest and recovery day! Hips, knees, and bruises are sore from the pounding and relentless orienteering of the past week-plus, so I think I deserve a rest.

Walking 1:00:00 [1] * 2.2 mi (27:16 / mi)
shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
Walking in River Bend Natural area in Ft. Collins, CO before heading to the airport. A very nice area of a few hundred acres with several ponds created by earlier gravel mining and bordered on one side by the Cache La Poudre River. Lots of birds - herons, egrets, ducks, geese, and smaller ones, too.
Glen carried the map, but I looked at it too to see where we were. Time includes stopping to watch birds and to look around. :-)

Orienteering race (Middle distance A day) 1:25:59 [4] *** 5.01 km (17:10 / km)
spiked:11/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Green day 3 on First With The Most map (1:10000). Messed up control 2 by a lot, wandering around in other rock with other orienteers (rule #67, ignore all other orienteers in the area!) until realizing that bag #44 that I found was actually on my course, only much later (control 13). Used it to relocate.
Messed up control 10 a little (again, I let other orienteers in the area distract me), and could have used a better route choice to control 6 (I went around the west end of the darker green, not taking a chance with the sliver of light green closer to the beeline, but it worked well for others). Total time lost ~15:00...which would have put me in 4th place, F50, but I finished 6th out of 8.

Walking 1:20:00 [2] 3.5 mi (22:51 / mi)
shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
Turtle Rock trail (3 miles, circling the large rock formation) at Vedauwoo, counterclockwise this time. I think it's physically easier in this direction. The rock-pile figure we took a picture of earlier in the week was gone from the bare rock outcrop. We started earlier in the day and avoided the rain shower (and hail!) that came through around 3pm. Took a wrong turn near the end of the trail, adding 0.5mi.

Orienteering race (Relay leg 3) 1:21:00 [5] *** 4.9 km (16:32 / km)
spiked:16/17c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old)
Relay at Antenna Hill. Leg 3 for the EMPO team of Phil, Sue, me and Marty (Glen wasn't feeling up to it due to reaggravating his rib/side injury). Covered closer to 6 km with contouring.
Only missed control (#12) was when I contoured around a hill, a little lower than I should have, and punched at a different one; but I corrected and punched the right one which was a little further around.

Orienteering race (Sprint) 48:23 [5] 2.9 km (16:41 / km)
shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Gates of AMT Hell map. Messed up 3 of the sprint controls (1, 4, & 6) for about 9-10 minutes of errors. :-P I wonder how many sprint points I got for that one...

Event: US Night Champs
Walking 1:45:50 [2] 4.4 mi (24:03 / mi)
shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
Hike on Meadow Falls trail in Snowy Mtn. Range, accessed from the Silver Lake parking area. Hiking at ~10,000 ft, so I could really feel any uphills. The Falls themselves are probably a bit more dramatic earlier in the year (with snowmelt); it was more like a stream trickle now.
I put intensity 2 because even though at least half the hike was intensity 1, the uphills felt like 4 or 5! Took an hour-long nap when we got back to the hotel; need to be (somewhat) fresh for the Night-O Champs tonight.

Orienteering race (Night-O) 1:37:12 [3] *** 5.1 km (19:04 / km)
spiked:8/10c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old)
US Night-O champs. Finished 2nd of 4(?).
Missed #5 off to the east (hit the spur too low and turned the wrong way...), #7 (hit the reentrant to the east but wasn't sure which wooded reentrant it was). Route choice to #9 was sure and steady (via #3) but south through the clearing to the open spur just south of #1 looks like a better/faster route.

Orienteering race (RM1000Day -- WSC#2) 1:26:22 [4] *** 5.5 km (15:42 / km) +200m 13:17 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
A fine run through #5, then I messed up my plan for #6 and lost at least 5 minutes. Again on #7, I wound up in the right reentrant but turned left instead of right and took awhile to find myself. From there on in I executed okay. 4th out of 5 (or 6?)overall for F50.
Walking 1:30:00 [1] 3.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2
Hiked the Turtle Rock trail at Vedauwoo (it loops around the large rock outcrops). Nice and sunny when we started; gray clouds rolled in when we were halfway around, and rain started falling when we were 3/4's.... So we got a little damp, and cut through the parking area to get back to the car.
