Orienteering race 53:49 [4] *** 6.04 km (8:55 / km) +169m 7:49 / km
spiked:11/13c shoes: VJ Falcons 4 (yellow)
Green X course on French Creek North as part of DVOA Fall Festival. Gorgeous day, 50's and sunny - not your typical November day. Woods were quite open. Nice course by Sandy F with plenty of French Creek challenges. A decent run but speed was a bit hampered by sore tendons in my right ankle. Was being extra cautious in rocky areas to minimize tweaking the ankle. Lost a couple of minutes on #3 finding the depression just outside the circle and taking a bit to figure out what was going on. Had trouble seeing the what was going on in the campground area for #13 with the connecting line and control circle blending in with the map detail. About 7th on Green X, 3rd in M60.
Straightline 5.5km, 145m climb.
Minor, minor gripe - I had to weave around three recreational groups on my way to #1. While I don't think it cost me any time, it certainly was a distraction. The recreational start window only partially overlapped the competitive start window, so earlier starters did not have this distraction.

Event: WCOC - Ansonia Nature Center
11 AM
Orienteering race 1:33:18 [3] *** 9.38 km (9:57 / km) +213m 8:56 / km
spiked:14/18c (injured) shoes: VJ Falcons 4 (yellow)
Blue course at Ansonia. Fine woods, a fine course and a fine day. So fine! I could've orienteered better, but it was still wonderful.
The options were either a 5k Green or 8k Blue course. Rambled a bit on #1, knowing how I wanted to go but not executing well. Focussed much better on 2. Misread the control description for 3 and spent a few minutes searching for a cliff in a boulder field while the control was 40 meters away in a reentrant. Focussed and in contact for 4 - 9. On-line to 10 until I said "Hi" to Phil as we passed and then veered off to look at a saddle 100 m west of the one I wanted. Classic parallel error on 16 cost a few minutes. Probably about 10 minutes of error total.
Also hampered by an injury to my right ankle which has flared up (probably peroneal tendonitis/tendonosis by my self-diagnosis). It was OK for the first part of the course but noticably slowed me down from about control 13 on (in spite of KT taping and an Active Ankle). Time for some RICE.
Straightline distance 8.1km.
