Event: OCIN TROL #7 - Live Oaks
Control clearing/setup 25:00 [2] 2.0 km (12:30 / km)
shoes: Inov Oroc 280
8 bags with Aidan
12 PM
Orienteering race 13:59 ** 2.65 km (5:17 / km) +12m 5:10 / km
spiked:15/16c shoes: Inov Oroc 280
Live Oaks, Sprint 2.4k
Meet 5, Course 8
After the red, most of the control sites were known so it was just an exercise in going fast and keeping on track. Still took a crazed line to 4, but otherwise it was good. It was sprinty but not confusing enough (but probably all that was possible)!

Meet 5, Course 7
Fun, made some smaller mistakes but no whoppers.
Missed entry through fence for C2 (lost 30s); slow woods exiting fenced area from C3 was not white; like C4 on the short stand. Circuit around school was fun but easy. Missed C11 by a bit to the N and ran on an otherwise good line 50 m too far E to 12. Missing building at C14 (manmade object circle??). Worst leg was to C17, just tentative but better this than fully botching it (lost 45 s); a bit W on 18; slow bashing to C19. The low point of the day was stepping through the grassy creek crossing nearly to my knee in a branch-lined hole yielding a good bashie. A bit wobbly on C22, 23 (15 s each). Ran right to C25 which made me happy. On the way to C28, I decided to pass by the ruined fence in the green, across the rough open, run run... ouch... yeah right don't forget the ruined fence.
A fun course, thanks Matthew.

Long Extreme-O as A Large Orange Hedge
Meet 4, course 6
I had a fun time trying a series of exercises and activities outside the norm. Navigating from aerial photos, bearings, ARDF leg, contour-O, window-O, etc spiced up with a rope bridge. The human hamster wheel was a tough goofy. I continue to like maze-O. The photo-O chewed up a pile of our time, as did the radio leg and leg 2 to the bridge. For the photos, we just didn't understand the excercise initially and the radio control took a couple of tries as the signal was not very strong. We got to the bridge quickly but bag under the bridge support didn't seem to match the clue very well. All in all, understanding the games would have chopped about 30 min off our time.
Finished the day with an 8h drive home. This was shockingly easier than anticipated.

2015 GNC Day 2, red
Meet 4, course 5
I will update this later but in brief, this was one of my best runs in recent past. Physically good but not great, however navigationally, I only made one regrettable error of under 2 min. Talking with Spike after the meet, there were a few things I realize could have been done better but definitely a good day. Great woods. Still a fair bit of climb but it was much better distributed so it felt ok.
Two time-outs are still in AP list. Finished amazingly 1s ahead of yurets. I was definitely feeling the uphill finish.
2nd on the weekend, psych!
p.s. thanks to cedarcreek for the power cable or there wouldn't have been a garmin track.
