CAOC Meet - Arie Crown Sprint #1
These courses were more like short middles than sprints. They were too long and the terrain was more complex through thicker woods than a typical sprint. Nevertheless, they were very good courses set by Carl.
I was shaky on three controls and that knocked me way out of contention on this sprint. I did push it through the woods and ran hard despite the tough humidity. I need more time on maps and soon.

CAOC Meet - Arie Crown Sprint #2
Another good short middle course. No big booms but lots of little bobbles. Ran well but much to improve.
Orienteer 40:00 [3] *** 4.2 km (9:31 / km)

Ran the orange course for practice. Took a few sub-optimal routes off trail to get more nav practice. Ok, but had seen some of the controls in the earlier sprints. Not nothing nav, I guess.
