11 AM
Running warm up/down 16:00 [2] 1.3 mi (12:19 / mi)
Warmed up then there was a line at the start with someone who would have passed me during the race right behind me, so I just extended my warmup.
12 PM
Orienteering race 17:50 [5] 2.4 km (7:26 / km)
ROC Sprint Series #1 at RIT
Weather was 45 and light rain. Perfect conditions for me which contributed to an okay run.
A few mistakes
1--> 2 misread the map and was looking north of the roadway for the tree.
6--> 7 just really confused about control placement relative to OOB.
9 --> 10 Almost went down into the courtyard between the buildings, but I caught myself.
~1:00 of error. Median line was very volatile throughout the meet; I ended up above it but we were 1-2 slower runners away from me being well above it.
Edit: AP calculates zero error. Perhaps these bobbles are not significant enough to be "errors", but my placing in these legs indicates that at least some time was lost.

1 PM
Orienteering race 38:50 [5] 6.0 km (6:28 / km)
Score-O. Totally ran by control #15 and had to go back to get it. That's a bummer. Rather have my big mistake in the score-o than the sprint though.
This was my first "urban" race ever, and I enjoyed it a bit more than I thought I would. I was probably running faster than an "forest" race so decisions had to be made quicker, although the map wasn't super complicated.

Strength 10:00 [2]
2 sets of hip flexor exercises
Tax day plus busy work day meant this was all I had time for. Will try to make TNT in two weeks.

Orienteering race 1:28:02 [5] 6.7 km (13:08 / km)
Club Series #1 at Mendon Ponds
3 mistakes:
1 --> 2, just not focused on the map yet, missed the control to the east, then had to make a big loop to get at it.
11 --> 12, not totally sure of my position, saw #13 out of the corner of my eye, then went there first. At least 12 -->13 became easier
16 --> 17, meant to cut off the main trail and climb the big hill, but I missed it and didn't realize. Pack of screaming girls when I was trying to relocate in my already tired state did not help matters.
Probably seven minutes of error total.
Edit: More like 11 minutes of error. This indicates to me that there's probably some additional time I can pick up elsewhere through better orienteering technique. Felt pretty strong throughout at least.
1st of 100+ on the go control.
