Note
A great weekend at OCIN, captured well by Vadim here:
An especially nice shot of the 8 DVOA US Relay Champions (4 on the 4pt team and 4 on the 8pt team): http://www.bears-on-speed.info/album/USRelayChamps...
And the 3rd place Jr/Jr DVOA team... http://www.bears-on-speed.info/album/USRelayChamps... (okay, I'm esp. partial to this one...)
And the full(?) DVOA contingent at the OCIN event: http://www.bears-on-speed.info/album/USRelayChamps...
Thank you DVOA for being a great club with many hard working competitive orienteers putting yourselves together with the fastest of whoever's available each year to make some great teams for several years in a row! I think this may be my first orienteering medal since... last year's Relay !

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.0 km (7:30 / km) +30m 6:59 / km
shoes: O-VJ Integrator Spikes
Shadowing AJ on the Jr. Jr. relay, and a little more warmup.
AJ actually led the pack from 1-2, but then made a 180 and was playing catch-up after that. While he often had 1st and 2nd in sight, he still chose to do his own navigation checks and control code checks before chasing the other two guys. He was clearly pretty fried by the end though, as he ran right by 11 before turinng around to punch it, then almost skipped 12 (go control...)

With Greg saying be careful to hold the lead, this was a balance between navigation with redundant intensity, and hammering. Most of the time hammering as the navigation wasn't all-consuming, but I was quite confused by the vegetation on my right-route into # 2 so hesitated a few second there, and was similarly hesitant on the way up to 6 as I wasn't sure I was on the right spur (I was, phew...)
