Event: DVOA Warwick County Park
5 PM
Orienteering race (Sprint 2) 35:57 *** 2.96 km (12:08 / km) +54m 11:08 / km
ahr:139 max:152 spiked:16/17c shoes: 2017 Inov8 ArcticClaw 300
SL 2.5 km, 35m climb. Overcast but warm; some breeze later and sprinkles as we drove away afterward. Warwick County Park.
Did the longer sprint first. Confused by the overgrown fields on the way to 2 and was looking for the veg corner near the feature (which was into the woods) and ended up on the N side of the ditch near the pavilion before correcting. Everything else straightforward, but the unmowed fields (to 1; 10-11-12, 14-15-16) were slow.
Map needs updates, but minor ones. Building along trail west of 5 no longer exists, and "fence" mapped between 8-9 isn't there...I don't remember whether it was there the 2 previous times I've been at Warwick.
Worried about allergies (nose dripping and itchy spots on my arms where I touched some of the grass) so took a quick acting Claritin between races. [I grew up near KoP/Valley Forge, and remember one summer where I walked through a similar field and ended up with itchy welts on my arms and legs.]

Orienteering race (Sprint 1) 22:39 *** 2.24 km (10:08 / km) +37m 9:22 / km

SL 1.9 km, 30m climb
I left my reading glasses in the car as they were more in-the-way than useful running trails in the woods in Sprint 2, so relied on my magnifier more.
We revisited a lot of the Sprint 2 controls, plus 2 new ones (4 and 9).
Thanks to Nate and Steve for another summer sprint!
