Cardio (Bike (video)) 2:33 [5] 1.0 mi (2:33 / mi)
Rolling Thunder course. Decided to try to really hammer it. My lungs were screaming by the end, but it's the longest I've really "sprinted" in a while. Top 3% overall; top 5% age group. Took the local Y record by 18 seconds. P: 364; C: 63

Orienteering race 27:57 [4] *** 3.5 km (7:59 / km) +20m 7:46 / km

NAOC Sprint (Course 3)
Tried to run hard and mostly succeeded. Left to #1, left to #2, left to #3, and right to #4. Small error on #5 by not going straight at the first intersection - got to climb and descend a small hill. Doubled back out of #5 and spiked #6 and #7. Bobbled #8 a bit and ended up at the trail junction just south of it, but recovered quickly. Spiked #9 and then had my one goof (65 seconds) when I veered left going for #10 and was lost for too long on the trail. Spiked 11-16. Almost blew #17 as I came in between two thickets, but as I didn't see the flag where I expected on the left, I looked right and recovered a lot faster than most other folks.
Ran just under 8 min/km which is fast for me even for a sprint. 34th out of 107 on the course. Only downer is that it isn't earning me the AttackPoint score that I thought I deserved - particularly by comparison to my other races.

NAOC People's Cup Finale
Legs were dead and I was beaten badly to #1. Did 2-5 cleanly before bobbling #6 and hitting the trail at the downed logs. Took the field from 7 to 8 instead of the trail around (ouch!). Lost time at #10 as the runner in front of me got tangled in the stand and carried it 5-10 meters with him, bending it all out of shape. I took it back to its original location and spent time replacing it before slogging the rest of the course.

NAOC Long Course (Course 7b)
Not a good race. Bobbled first two a bit, but recovered. Decided to go the long way around to #3 (east of the big swamp on the trail), but rolled an ankle on the trail minimizing the gain; then totally punted any gain away by getting lost in the circle and finding many other competitors at the swamp 100m W of the control. Recovered for (only!) a nine minute error.
Controls 4-7 were basically fine, but a bit slow; should have gone straight to #6, but took the trail across the stream first.
Made a big mistake on the trails near #8 and cost myself another three minutes before blowing the next one by just going too slowly.
35th out of 54 (I count Mark Frank as a competitor who beat me as I saw a photo of him punching the GO control for which he was MP'ed.)
