Event: CSU Pine Hill A-meet
Orienteering race (Middle Qualifier) 32:00 [4] 4.3 km (7:27 / km) +95m 6:42 / km
A very good race from me. I was impressed with myself, actually. I caught a west point runner early on and we were trading back and forth for a bit. A CSU runner caught us (Ken?) after I screwed up number 6. I managed to stay behind (not following) the CSU runner and lose the Cadet. I was definately running faster than I normally would have which made the orienteering aspect a little more challenging. A great race over all (I beat Eric Kemp as well :P )
Orienteering race (Middle A Final) 49:46 [4] 5.8 km (8:35 / km) +150m 7:36 / km
This was a brutal race. I was sooo hot it wasn't even funny. Aparently I was doing really well in the beginning (which I felt I was) but I lost it after a slight bobble on 2 and just moving very slow to 4 (my lead didn't last long). Joe caught me at 4 and passed me on the way to 5. I would have done much better had it not been for the heat. I needed more water and a 10 degree temperature drop very badly after number 6. My orienteering was getting rather sloppy near the end, and I think luck was on my side.
