Orienteering 1:15:40 [3] 4.4 km (17:12 / km) +120m 15:08 / km
World Deaf Orienteering Championship - M-50 Long course, with Erin Rycroft
Made Erin do all the navigating while I commentated from time to time as a training exercise. I let us blow #2, but we blew #8 together and unintentionally. I MSP'ed because I forgot to use my dibbler at the second to last control when it was clearly on a knoll, not a (mapped, but not actually present) ditch bend. So, the weekend was DQ, Lousy Run, and MSP. Wow!

Control pickup for the northern extremes of the course. Blew my second one badly (and I had also missed the same control at the US championships last fall), but got out to the road "too early" and had a 5K walk back to the Parade Grounds before my shuttle caught up with me...

Orienteering 1:40:00 [2]
Control pick-up from WDOC Middle and some setup for WDOC Relay. One setup was particularly challenging as I had a verbal description, but no circle "just find the ribbon". No ribbon, so I went with a best guess. Turns out a competitor brought in the ribbon for Sunday as "lost' during Friday's run. Fortunately, my site had to be vetted when the epunch unit was placed...

World Deaf Orienteering Sprint Championships - Mens Elite course
Officially should be DQ'ed for crossing into a poorly marked construction zone (map and fences made it appear that there was a corridor, but the area was OB) and for crossing an uncrossable swamp (which was so dry that I hadn't even read it as swamp on the map). Not a great run with no prep - found out that I could run 2 minutes before I left - even had to borrow a dibbler.
