Orienteering race 21:02 [3] *** 2.8 km (7:31 / km) +100m 6:22 / km
spiked:12/14c slept:7.5 shoes: Adidas CornerBlitz
First sprint of 2. Uphill start again but found trail and hit 1 readily. Straight forward to 2. Overshoot 3 and lost a 1/2 minute. Control was at a series of rootstocks. Clearing was a bit dubious control description. 4, 5 and 6 were straight forward though others seemed to be have problems. Across creek to 7 passing another control. On the drive down, rivers were flooded with the temperature change but levels were down by Saturday. 8 was a bit tricky but the rest was straight forward to a downhill finish. A few others seemed to be having finishing trouble. Nice start to the spint series in 5th, 3 minutes behind the leaders.
Orienteering race 28:13 [3] *** 2.4 km (11:45 / km) +120m 9:24 / km
spiked:8/13c slept:7.5 shoes: Adidas CornerBlitz
2nd in series. Poor route choice off the bat taking the higher rather than lower trail. 2 through 5 were solid. Major error to 6 cost 5 minutes. Never saw the road junctions correctly and ended up in the wrong woods. Hit 12 and corrected but dropped markedly. Nailed 7, 8 and 9. Slight error at 10 as control was in the centre on monuments and ran exterior. Major route choice mistake to 11, going through the woods lost in before instead of running the clearings, cost 1 minute. Back to 12, previously hit and passed a few people coming home. Uphill finish, not much of a problem. Major mistakes in the second race cost one postion, back to 6th finish as in the Short Pig.
