Run / Hike race 1:09:57 [3] 4.47 mi (15:39 / mi) +928ft 13:05 / mi
slept:6.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2015)
Ragnar Relay in Angel Fire, NM. Yellow loop (#3).
This wasn't much easier than the Red loop -- still lots of steep uphills, which I walked.
Overall, a very fun experience.

Run / Hike race 43:19 [3] 3.73 mi (11:37 / mi) +476ft 10:22 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2015)
Ragnar Relay in Angel Fire, NM. Green loop (#1).
I was the lead-off runner -- which initially made me nervous but turned out to be a good thing because (a) I wasn't out on the trail during the afternoon thunderstorm / hailstorm, and (b) I didn't have to wait around for hours before getting to actually run. Overall, my running sequence was great, since I got about six hours of sleep at night between my second and third loops. And, our team was pretty well matched in terms of speed (i.e., I was middle of the pack, not the slowest).
Run / Hike race 1:43:53 [3] 6.22 mi (16:42 / mi) +1342ft 13:52 / mi
Ragnar Relay in Angel Fire, NM. Red loop (#2).
This was H-A-R-D. I ran the first half-mile but then quickly had to resort to running when I reached the steep singletrack trail. The first 3.2 miles were all UP, and I walked pretty much all of it. I couldn't go as fast as I would've liked on the downhill half, because it was steep, off-camber, slick from earlier rain, etc. Oh well.
I used Troy's Petzl Ultra headlamp, which worked great.

Orienteering race (Red course) 2:31:18 [3] 8.46 mi (17:53 / mi) +738ft 16:31 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2014)
Red course at Round Mountain.
Things were going pretty well until #9. ARGH! I thought I was looking for a rocky knoll, but it was actually rocky ground. My tracks suggest that I was very close to it -- TWICE -- before actually spotting it.
A bit of wandering at #10.
For #13, it looks like I stayed on my bearing pretty well until the last minute -- and then I lost my concentration / lost contact with the map and wandered aimlessly.
I was very happy with the final approach to #16; I read the rocks well and hit it spot-on. Woot!
But then for the cliff at #17, as my brain was starting to fade, I misread the control description as "foot of" instead of "top of". And then I made a 180-degree error as I was leaving the control -- which added some extra steep climbing after I corrected myself. DOH!
No issues with 18-19-20.
Unfortunately, I got talked into doing control pickup and somehow lost my compass in the process. Note to self: I STILL HATE DOING CONTROL PICKUP. :-P
