Orienteering race 1:41:40 [3] 6.0 mi (16:57 / mi) +235m 15:06 / mi
Letchworth East
For the second time in a row, I had a course with mostly even legs, so I decided to try for 7 min/leg as a target pace. Drifted high on #2, but relocated and lost minimal time. Then did well until #12 when I cut in one stream too early; I realized it almost immediately, but paid the price by slowly crossing a wet seep. Blew #13 by drifting to another control. Blew #14 by being slow and coming out in the wrong part of the field. Still, all in all, a decent run.

Control pickup at Letchworth East. Ended up doing a modified version of my #3-#5 (plus exit) route, fairly effectively. Actually made nearly the same times...

Dragon Hunting (Tactics) in Maze Mania
Did a bit better finding chests, although I stupidly left 15,000 points on the table by not 4x-ing just before one of them... 187,747 points. Top third overall; top half age group; one and only all-time at the Y. P:95; C:59.

BFLO Camp Schoelkopf Sprint
Solid run. Took the popular, but unmapped trail from 2 to 3. Took the unmapped trail from the clearing to the road from 5 to 6 for a slight bobble. Took trails all the way to 7 (which might have been optimal.) Went via the dike to 8 and it was straightforward after that.
4th overall. Tom won in 18:19. Dave Cady (19:55) also beat me.

BFLO Camp Schoelkopf Red Course
Quickly noticed that the course was fourteen legs of roughly equal distance and set my goal of 5 min/leg and was never more than 2.5 minutes off that until the very finish. Probably cut in a bit soon to #1, was a bit sloppy to #4 and drifted right to #11, ultimately hitting the band of yellow to the right, but there were no real goofs. The GO control was common with the sprint and I was only 3 seconds slower than my earlier run. All in all, I'll take it. Tom won in 54:18, but I came in third and no one else broke 60, so...

Schoelkopf control pickup.
Got #1-3 on the Red, plus a nearby Orange control. Tom W. gave me a ride down the road to the parking lot near #1. It was a 45 second walk to the control. (That was probably the winning route choice.) It was interesting to see that my times to #2 and #3 walking when I could recognize my route, weren't all that far off from my original running times. Of course, herd paths helped.
