Orienteering race 1:47:37 [4] *** 4.1 km (26:15 / km) +164m 21:52 / km
ahr:114 max:138 spiked:3/9c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

This was a no-good, horrible day. I made a rookie mistake going from one to two, a 180, then had a bit of trouble relocating to get to 2. Three and four were pretty easy. I crossed the marsh again and looked all over for five. I'm quite sure I was in the correct area, but never managed to find it. Same with sic. These were on rocks, and it entailed a lot of climbing, so I was really tired, and walked north to the road, then on to the finish. Paul and I then started the long journey home. I did have a great time while in Laramie, and overall, I think I'm doing much better. Also, I got to visit with friends. It was all good except for the 180.

Western States Day 3 Brown - Splits

Orienteering race 1:43:33 [4] *** 4.2 km (24:39 / km) +174m 20:25 / km
ahr:120 max:140 spiked:9/11c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

Second day of the Classic. My navigation was really good--only minor mistakes. I did make one poor route choice--going to 3, although I spiked the control and knew where I was all the time. This was physically very demanding, but my best day this week for navigation.

At one pm, I went to the mapping clinic, and spent about three more hours walking all over the area. I was really tired, and had trouble sleeping.

Western States Day 2 Brown - Splits

Saturday Sep 1, 2018 #

10 AM

Orienteering race 1:27:00 [4] *** 4.0 km (21:45 / km) +96m 19:25 / km
ahr:126 max:150 spiked:8/10c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

First of three classic distance races. This was at Pelican East. Strange mistake on control 2. I'm not sure how I got so off track. Slow and tentative finding 6, but spot on the rest of the course.

Western States Day 1 Brown - Splits

Orienteering race 1:07:13 [4] *** 3.1 km (21:41 / km) +109m 18:26 / km
ahr:126 max:153 shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

Today was the Middle Distance on a new map, Granite Planite. Mostly pretty good navigation. Made one costly mistake at 9, but the rest were negligible. I mostly just walked, and I'm slow, but not too disappointed in the results, except for the one brain lapse.

Middle Brown - Splits

Orienteering 1:54:09 [4] *** 4.52 km (25:15 / km) +134m 22:00 / km
ahr:121 max:141 spiked:12/24c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

Today was the one-cowboy relay. There were five loops. I only did three, and had a bit of trouble with some of the navigation. Several of the controls were visited more than once. Another altitude adjustment day.

Orienteering 1:52:42 [4] *** 5.97 km (18:53 / km) +142m 16:52 / km
ahr:125 max:161 spiked:7/15c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

Today was altitude adjustment in Laramie at the Lights of Cheyenne. I drove into Laramie this afternoon, then went for the mass start event. The whole thing was 15 controls, and 7.7 km. There was a two-hour time limit, so I did the first five controls, skipped to 12 and finished the course. I was sloppy on 4 and had to relocate, otherwise ok navigation-wise, but really out of breath. Lots of fun.

9Round 32:00 [3]
ahr:114 max:128 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

Good to have a workout before a long drive.

9 AM

Dog Walking 18:44 [1] 1.08 km (17:21 / km) +4m 17:02 / km
ahr:101 max:128 shoes: INOV-8 Trail Talon 225

This could hardly be considered practice. Elray is on drugs, so I took it very easy and let her sniff as much as she wanted.
