Orienteering 16:04 [4] ** 2.5 km (6:26 / km) +8m 6:20 / km
spiked:15/15c shoes: Salomon SC3 Bl/Bl 3
Lakeside Park, Oakland, at the north end of Lake Merritt. Run the first 15 (of 17) controls from a course set up by Rex on Aug 24, 2008.
Surprisingly, very warm. Didn't give myself much time after driving (I'd also stopped at the Saratoga Farmers' Market) and I didn't have much warm up, so I was a little sluggish at first and never really turned it on. Still, I was running somewhat hard, and the main thing was to get some navigation practice while running at speed. Venue is quite straight-forward, though a few things have changed since 2008 (rootstock at #7 is no longer there, tree at #13 is no longer there, a paved path between the start and #1 is now grass, etc.).
Met George there. He ran a different course while I ran this one, and then we switched.
I'd had a good run when I ran this in 2008, though then I made a few small mistakes that I didn't make today. Then, my time through #15 was 1419, nearly two minutes faster than today, despite the half-minute of mistakes back then. Part of that was I wasn't running as hard today as I was ten years ago, but part of it is definitely that I've become slower afoot.

Orienteering 4:51 [4] ** 0.75 km (6:28 / km)
spiked:5/6c shoes: Salomon SC3 Bl/Bl 3
Lakeside Park, Oakland, north end of Lake Merritt. Ran a few controls on a course from ~2009 (hadn't run this before - got the map from George).
Only ten minutes after finishing the earlier 2.5 km run; I was stiff and tired, so cut it short. Ran 3 - 4 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 5.
Made my only mistake of the day going to #7: lost track of where I was, after maybe 20 secs, found myself a bit WSW of the control.
Surprised this one was the same pace as the (better) earlier one. Maybe I was running faster (which is why I felt tired)?
