Event: US Team Trials
Orienteering race 20:22 [5] 3.49 km (5:50 / km) +83m 5:13 / km
Chasing the Star sprint - 4th, didn't read enough and got caught on wrong side of a wall which I had to run quite far to get around on 17, missed the right route choice here and there elsewhere (only twice, I believe, with much time lost). Very good urban sprint terrain and course.

Cycling 57:00 [3]
Cycling to work on slightly damp roads. Directly home on dry roads.
Running 16:25 [1]
Warmup/cooldown/rests.
Running 17:47 [5] 4.87 km (3:39 / km)
4x1217m intervals in 4:27, 4:28, 4:27 and 4:25. Felt a bit heavy-legged and sluggish, which shows in the times. Though at least I didn't slow down over the course of the workout - for me, this was fantastically even pacing. Not that I wouldn't rather be fast and uneven.
Note
12.8

Orienteering race 1:37:45 [4] 10.4 km (9:24 / km)
Canadian Trials Long - slightly shaky first control getting into the map, wandered and relocated on the way to 5 for a few minutes lost, and had a lot of company in failing to spike 11 and losing another three or four minutes there. Otherwise okay though by no means covering myself in glory. Fifth among people trying out so presumably good enough.
I suppose runnability and visibility in Norwegian woods will be better but, going by this weekend, I'll certainly have a lot of work to do the next couple of years if I carry on trying to go to WOC through 2010.
