Orienteering 30:00 [3] *** 2.5 km (12:00 / km) +100m 10:00 / km
spiked:2/3c shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes
Medium paced loop around an old course at ? (25miles NE of Cincinnatti on I71...). L Foot twinged a bit, but not too bad.
Orienteering (Old course rerun) 30:00 [3] *** 2.5 km (12:00 / km) +100m 10:00 / km
spiked:2/3c shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes
Rerun of 3 controls on map about 25 miles NE of Cincinnatti on I-71. While on drive to Sprint... (Slept in Columbus.)
L-foot twinged a bit and got mildly sore after, with just a few hours before the Trials sprint...

Running warm up/down (Grass) 15:00 [2] 1.5 mi (10:00 / mi) +20m 9:36 / mi
shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes
Long slow warmup, not much cooldown. Foot sore a bit on and off and was afraid I wouldn't be able to push off. But it eventually seemed to warm up okay and I didn't noticed it much during the Sprint.
Orienteering race 18:24 [4] *** 2.5 km (7:22 / km) +60m 6:34 / km
spiked:11/13c shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes
Almost a very good race. I did reel in Randy, who just wasn't moving that fast. Leif missed his start so there was no one chasing me.
I had a 15 second drift on #3. I've got to check my compass longer/more times because it's sometimes off at first glance and you can just say 'go, go, go' and be off by 30-45 degrees or so. Not good. But if this was my only problem, it would have been a fine run.
But then, for some reason, I decided that 3 little 2-contour reentrants with gullies at the bottom wouldn't be that hard, and so why go all the way around. Despite having some easy legs to read the map on, I didn't check it enough, and didn't notice the short cuts on the long way around. I also wasn't thinking that at 1:5000, it's even less costly to go around.
That cost about 45-50 seconds right then and there, and I probably lost another 10-20 on the rest of the course from having totally shot my quads with that route choice.
Overall not terrible, but not nearly as good as it should have been. And for me to go to WOC, I need a combination of very good and great races...
