Event: West Point A-meet
9 AM
Orienteering race 56:29 [3] 4.2 km (13:27 / km)
West Point A Meet - Middle - Red.
Not a good race - had to stop to tie a total of 4 shoelaces at a about 25 seconds a pop. Need the map to identify all of my errors, but did not have a chance to run hard until the last couple of controls.

Orienteering race 28:45 [3] 2.6 km (11:03 / km)
West Point A Meet - Sprint - Blue/Red
Not really my idea of a Sprint course. The navigation seemed to be quite appropriate for a Middle distance race. It was all over on the first control. I was not really mentally ready for the 1:5 map, so I guess I ended up running right past the flag (it was leaning against a small boulder. I drifted left to try to make contours match, then saw Ethan (started a minute back) and sort of merged with him and we punched - C2. Damn. So, it was back to C1 then C2 - lost about 3 minutes.
More errors later, when I have a map.
