Orienteering race (SFSU Sprint round 2) 11:16 [4] *** 1.6 km (7:02 / km) +25m6:32 / km spiked:13/14c
Moisty morning clearing and warming up to a sunny day. Great campus map. Nice sprint with butterfly which was confusing! One signifcant error with 45sec on short leg 11-12, overran turn, otherwise OK.
Orienteering race (SFSU sprint round 3) 10:33*** 1.6 km (6:36 / km) +25m6:07 / km spiked:12/12c
Really nice ISSOM map and course. Much better run than round 2- no substantive errors - a few seconds here or there, so advanced in top 12 (forget which animal that was)
Orienteering race (McClaren Park round 4) 23:25*** 2.7 km (8:40 / km) +150m6:47 / km spiked:17/17c
Deer group! A really excellent end to the day with a tough physcial and middle distance-like sprint. No route choice errors- some nice traps to fall into however and navigationally spot on- had to walk several of the steep hills as the legs were getting tired. Good run in general. Qualified for Impalas - 3 group in top 12.
Views to the city, just like back towards Golden gateway from Marin headlands yesterday were turely superb! Alas no camera with me :-(
Exellent courses by Rex W and Vlad G, and maps have made this trip one to remember. Yes- rivals Sydney!!
Orienteering race (Pt Bonita Sprint) 20:10 [4] *** 2.3 km (8:46 / km) +75m7:32 / km spiked:14/15c slept:10.0
Fantastic location - great views but windy. Dehydrated and tired from flight so took it steady- seemed an effort- anyhow surroundings made it well worth the effort. Great little sprint area with some nice traps. Dropped maybe 35sec on nav. and a bit (?) walking the steep slopes.
The end of the NE O season in sight (last outing probably UNO Beaver Brook)- looked longingly at the xc skis this am so a sign of the times (snow almanac?)- sprints in SF this weekend with an early flight tomorrow.
Running warm up/down (stretching) 10:00 [2] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
Orienteering race 1:01:27*** 6.2 km (9:55 / km) +180m8:39 / km spiked:19/23c
Beautiful day- temps in 60s and another great course put on by CSU (thanks Lori and Ian) with epunching. Having a good map also helps. Decent run with only one moderate ding (route execution 6-7) and some minor wobbles- total around 3 mins- so not bad for me execution wise (tired but running well).
