Event: West Point A-meet
9 AM
Orienteering race 56:39 [4] *** 4.24 km (13:21 / km) +128m 11:36 / km
spiked:13/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
West Point Green Y (F50)
Happy with this race. Mentally prepared and only one control (9) I started looking too early because I was seeing more unmapped bare rock and cliffs than I expected; I did keep on going which was my intuition. Left this one slightly off line and had to double back on the way to 10. And I did check another control's code (Green X's boulder in the "escape chute" near the end) but I don't think it slowed me down at all.
Slow due to lots and lots of blueberry bushes (not yet leafed out).
Happy to be 2nd behind Peggy in F50, given the competition! About 9 minutes back.
An "A" effort
Straight line (climb) -- 3.5 (140)

Orienteering race 26:35 [5] *** 2.47 km (10:46 / km) +50m 9:46 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Orange/Brown/Green sprint at West Point. Not quite clean on some routes but found them all. Checked the Red/Blue control on the dot knoll SW of # 7 because I saw that flag first, but then looked over to the spur mine was on and got there okay. Careful to the next control, a cliff among cliffs. Thought 9 came up quickly but remembered to check the code there because it was the right feature.
Then I managed to misidentify the huge rocky clumps between 12 and 13 and went to the rocks near the OOB between 13 and 14 before heading down the hill to 13. Probably could have been 2-3 minutes faster, not chump change in the sprint. A "B".
Cumulatively still 2nd in F50, though Valerie had a faster time by a couple of minutes and was closing the gap. :-)
Straight line distance (climb) --2.1 km (70)
