Running 31:00 [2]

Chilly, sunny, late afternoon run in TGP.

Observations:
1 wedding
1 Halloween theme BBQ
4 actors and 3 chickens creating a silent-era genre video - Chaplain-esque. Not sure if the chickens were props, actors, or spectators.
1 football game, with kegs.
1 dad trying to hit ball to kid - mom pitching.

The usual dogs and cute babies.

Running 34:00 [2]

Pleasant run around TGP - cool late afternoon.

Wow, I felt great all last week but 2 days driving and 2 days lazing took a toll! Great to get restarted. Post-run feels good.

Running 7:00 [2]

Warm-up along road.

Orienteering race 22:52 [4]

14th in M60, 10th in NA. Toughest sprint map I've run on: woods and buildings - lots of detail. I need more practice! Also, learned I need to put 'dobber' on right hand, not map hand, at least for Sprint. Punching messed up map contact - I don't remember that being such a problem in my past.

Lost 1min on 4-5: Relied on trails too much, missed one, hit 'other' trail junction, confused. 7-8: Read control circle well, saw small shack, but left in wrong direction. Checked tel pole, bounced back to find small clearing. -1 Sure can't afford two 1 min errors!

I depended too much on the trails at first. They weren't apparent and weren't necessary. The woods were open, contours were clear - that worked much better on 6, 7 and later.
