Another middle day at the PIG! The comp was close, but I was not as accurate and blew on one control, losing 2 minutes when I overshot it and had to work back. I lost 17 seconds to GlenT, this day and more to others. But it was a decent run but not a winning run. This area even thought has lots of green on the map is still a great area. The green is not near as bad as it looks. I get lots more mini thorns in Chicago maps.
Overall a great weekend for orienteering, sunny skies and great folks attending. Thanks to Mike and his crew for another awesome Flying Pig event.

C • Great weekend. 7

Sunday Middle - Green - Splits

Long day at the Flying Pig. I took first in the Green course. I had to leave early and thought for sure that someone would run maybe 70 min. So iwas suprised that that the time held up. One slightly big bobble at no. 6. I lost a couple of minutes there. Glen T was leading the event till the 2nd to last control where that rogaine conditioning must paid off and I gained 40 seconds on him going up the hill and than only beat 2nd place by 26 seconds. Another fun time in the woods. Afterward I headed to Cleveland 4 hours to go to an Aunt's surpise party. Great to see some cousins and aunt I have not seen for 15 + years. 4 hours back and in bed by 1:00am ouch.

Saturday Long - Green - Splits

Event: Flying Pig XIV - U S Interscholastic Championship
 

East Fork State Park, Ohio. Flying Pig!! Great weather and this was a middle course. the course was not to brambly and it was fun and fast. Lots of the best M-55's out this weekend. ok all but one. so the comp was tight and I ended up in 2nd overall on green. I did beat the no 1 and no 2 ranked guys on M-55, so anytime that happens it a good day.

Friday Middle 8-Green - Splits

First day out to road ride, very nice day and much better day for riding than a day golfing. But to each their own. felt good and but sore after the rogaine.
