Flying Pig XIII - Long Pig - Mt Airy map. Long route choice legs but most controls had strong attack points off of fields so the navigation was pretty straightforward. Route Gadget. Lost a few seconds each on #4 and # 7 but pretty much an error free run. Was second on Green to the same M-18 who won Sprint 3 overall (he did 45:29 but probably would've been about 42 min without errors - yikes!). 1st on M55.

Sunday Long Green - Splits

Flying Pig XIII - Sprint 3 (Blue/Red). Running with the Big Dogs - M21. Urban park with some woods (where most of the controls were), open fields, roads, and trails. Two e-punch boxes weren't working which was a bit of a distraction. Bobbled a short leg which cost about 30 seconds and hesitated going to 11 and lost about 15 sec. 23rd out of 38 running this sprint. Winning time was 14:43 by an M-18.

Cool down run after the sprint - jogging around the park mostly on trails.

Flying Pig XIII - US Relay Champs Leg 4 (Green) on (not-eligible) 12 point team with two girls from Channelview/HOC. Mount Airy map. Fun course with a combination of short and longer legs with some route choice. Lots of trails and open fields so controls weren't real technical and I hit all but one of them cleanly. We were in 4th place of the 12 point teams when I started and I knew I had a chance to catch two of the teams (the first place team from ROC had a 20 minute lead with Nate Lyons running the leg). PTOC had a very promising 13-year-old who I caught up to by the first control but then he surprised me by taking 3 or 4 controls to drop. I caught the other team at about the 9th control so we ended up in 2nd place overall.

Saturday Green_12pt - Splits

Event: OCIN 25th Anniversary / Flying Pig XIII / Relay Champs
 

Flying Pig XIII - Middle Distance race at McFarlan Woods. A nice course with 9 short legs in relatively technical karst terrain after a couple of climb/descent controls to get you warmed up and in oxygen debt. Had a pretty good run but lost a minute by going to #11 before #10. Missed #12 by a bit for 30 sec of error and got caught in some deadfall coming out of #6 which cost about 30 sec. 2nd in M55, 3rd overall on Green. Route Gadget
