orienteering 29:16 [3] 3.39 mi (8:38 / mi) +45m 8:17 / mi
19c
Long (5.1 km) sprint-like course on Gene's newest map - Four Lawrence Parks.
Running felt difficult, but it was a lot of fun to run on a new map. The weather was relatively comfortable.
Scott N. beat me by a bit over 30 seconds. I'll have to check the winsplits, but my guess is most of that was on the longer road legs (11, 12 and 14).
We had a pretty good turnout (something like 28 starts). To put that into context, the equivalent portion of the metro population for Seattle would be 886 people.
After the run, we had a small potluck as a going-away for Grover and Carolyn (moving to Tuscon in a few weeks). That helped bring out a few old timers. The Gogols were in attendance, but I didn't get a chance to chat with them. I think they must have been on a schedule or something and
We also had some good help from Kjrsten and Cory at registration and Nathan was a big help with control pick up (I'm probably missing some other people who helped with control pick up).

running 30:00 [2]
Slow running on West Campus. The heat wasn't too terrible, but it was hotter than I'd expected and that was kind of a drag.
I also discovered something interesting today....Lidar data from Missouri that covers Crowder State Park.

running 15:00 [2]
I picked up a few controls. By this time the temp was a bit higher, I was a still warm from running, and the sun was out. I felt terrible by the time I was done (which was only about 15 minutes).
Mary spotted me looking overheated and gave me a map case full of ice to put on my head and neck. That was very nice.

orienteering 20:39 [4] 3.91 km (5:17 / km) +30m 5:05 / km
21c
Sunflower State Games at Gage Park in Topeka. Fritz set a fun course (except for 7 to 8...that was just a chore).
Conditions were warm and humid. I ran better than I'd expected. I pushed a bit too hard on the way to 8 and suffered a bit on the rest of the course.
Fritz put out a bunch of extra controls in the rose garden. That meant you could just head to a marker you spotted. You had to actually read the map. That was a good idea.
A former USMAOC orienteer showed up. Christian Robbins. He ran pretty fast, but with a little bit of rough navigation. He's at Fort Riley so maybe we'll see him at some more of the local events.
