Location: Wandering around some lava fields looking for control 4
I forgot to do a SART update for today (not even a week in and already slipping) so for this one we'll just tell you how you'll feel when you're at SART.

10 AM
Orienteering race 47:26 [4] *** 4.74 mi (10:00 / mi) +130m 9:13 / mi
17c
7:39/km
Daze Day 5 - Dutchman Flats South, "Witch of Many Boulders"
Mappy w/routes and splits. I had my best run of the week in the trickiest terrain of the week :D Had to bail to the trail and relocate at 10, but turned out I was close so only lost about 80s. Tentative on 1, 2, 13, 17 for 10-15s loss each, so total of maybe 2:30 max. Got Eric by four minutes which almost never happens; he had problems with 3, 4, 15. 3-4 was a pretty bananas leg; the whole area around 8-11 was very very technical.
14-15 was maybe the greatest thing I've ever done in my orienteering career. I took a rough bearing to the control knowing there was a giant meadow right behind it, put my head down and ran straight at full speed for 600 meters without looking at the map, and almost impaled myself on the control. Gueorgiou and Hubmann couldn't have executed that ish any better.

3 PM
Cycling 1:00:00 [2] 8.8 mi (8.8 mph) +75m
Some mountain biking/sightseeing, starting from the top of Pilot Butte, an extinct volcano within the Bend city limits rising 150m above the surroundings. Apparently every year they have a race to the top; it appears to be about a mile of distance. The current record is 7:10, which seems pretty impressive.
