Orienteering race (Camping O - Red) 1:02:46 [4] 5.7 mi (11:01 / mi) +100m 10:27 / mi
shoes: newer Oroc 340s

Good run overall for Pawtuckaway. Slept poorly (I am not a camper), but coffee and some oatmeal seemed to cover that. Only bad control was #5, for which I'll blame my desire to quickly leave Jim A behind after #4. Misread which marsh I was following and took a long time to figure that out (with Jim, who eventually came along). "Plan" to #8 veered from script, but map-read in to it anyway. Again, pleased with the physical piece.

It was nice to see my O friends - I miss them!

Then 4.5 hours back to Brooklin. Stopped at Market Basket in Epping to save a bit of $ on wine, beer and dark chocolate, but the long checkout lines made it almost not worth it. Almost.

Orienteering race 1:08:31 [3]
shoes: newer Oroc 340s

First O after move to Maine - was uncertain of both fitness level and ability to get back into mindset. Perhaps indicative of the latter, my worst control was #1, where I went to the last control (#12), reading it as #1, and then was baffled as to why the control code was wrong. Fully investigated the area, etc - lost perhaps several minutes doing this before the mists parted and I started my way to the actual #1. Of course angry and geflummoxed, finding that was shaky too, but confidence built for the rest of the course. I was very pleased that I felt good physically - chalk that up to no longer sitting behind a desk!

And this is my first AP training log post! Will end here because I am not sure if this will simply save and do not want to waste hard-fought typing effort.
