Saturday Aug 9, 2014 #
9 AM
Walking warm up/down (to start) 15:00 [2]
shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Walked along a dirt road (and climbed a bit) to the start, arriving with a few minutes to spare. 1 km from parking per the meet notes. Warm, temps in upper 60s probably.
10 AM
Orienteering race (classic day 1) 59:56 [4] *** 5.84 km (10:16 / km) +85m 9:34 / km
12c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Brown X course on Badger Gulch map, or some portion of it (Glen has a copy of the full map for his day 1, but courses were printed on 8.5"x14" paper where configuration allowed). SL 5.3 km / 80m climb
Didn't feel I had a clean run because I was off a bit (again, usually to the left) on maybe a third of the controls, but AP split analysis shows no errors, so relative to others I guess it was a clean run.
Pleased to be just five minutes behind Beatrice as I saw her as the likely winner overall based on past experience. Virginia Lehman has also beat me in the past, and I think she had been in Laramie so was likely more used to altitude, but I have a good cushion going into Sunday.
EDIT: Added FR track and course statistics

Walking 15:00 [2]

I signed up for the US Trail O Champs for some reason, and figure did give it one more try before swearing off the sport completely if I didn't so well. Managed to get my 1:30 start time rescheduled to 12:16 because I wanted to attend the AGM as EMPO's delegate at 3:00 and there was a two-hour limit for the course (and I didn't know how fast I'd be).
12 PM
Orienteering (Trail O) 1:09:39 [1] *** 2.8 km (24:53 / km) +12m 24:21 / km
spiked:9/16c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Trail O Champs course plus three TempO problems. Interesting experiment after having attended Clare's talk on Friday, but results showed I only got one TempO control correct and 9 of the 16 TrailO problems (several of which were later protested and two thrown out). I learned I really didn't enjoy it, especially after having been on a regular foot O course earlier, because I'm much more rewarded by choosing a route and executing it well, than picking out the right flag of many (or none!). If TrailO were all A-Z problems (where you identify if the flag is placed correctly or not, and have a 50-50 chance of getting it right), I might participate more often. Meh.
Sharon was course designer for the champs, letting her experience protests from another angle. ;-)
