10 AM
Orienteering race 40:48 [3] 1.85 mi (22:03 / mi)
shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
GPHXO Sprint #1 at Needle Vista.
I got off to a bad start and totally blew it on #1 -- luckily Cristina came through and saved the day (by letting me follow her). :-P
11 AM
Orienteering race 34:16 [3] 1.53 mi (22:24 / mi) +97ft 21:08 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
GPHXO Sprint #2 at Needle Vista.
I'm hesitant to even post these tracks, since I had so many DUMB errors...(never found #4; WTH was I thinking from #7 to #8; etc).
7 PM
Orienteering race (Night-O) 1:57:19 [3] 3.84 mi (30:33 / mi) +608ft 26:34 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
Two-hour Night-Score-O at Needle Vista.
For the first few controls, I felt like I was moving fast enough to clear the course. But then I hit the kind of steep, loose, rocky downhill terrain that slows me down to an overly-tentative crawl. Then I spent 30 minutes looking for #7 (never found it). I also didn't go far enough to reach the saddle I had planned to use in between #10 and #11, so I did a lot of unnecessary up / down in that area.
It was an enjoyable course and a very pleasant night -- slightly chilly but fine once moving. Also, I saw big owl swooping around at one point.
