Orienteering (Canoe O) 1:00:00 [1] ***
Canoe O with Hayden at 6:30am - great to be on the lake early in the AM with the loons etc... Got 11 of 14...
Orienteering (Red 2 (partial)) 48:00 [3] *** 2.5 km (19:12 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
More of a precision hiking excursion than an O run - did the first 5 controls very cleanly, but at a very slow jog to stay in contact and control. Then #6 I hit what I thought was the control site - everything had been good right up to it - no bag, checked around for adjacent reentrants, nothing. Relocated 3 times off solid features including the large marsh - always came back to the same spot with no bag. Decided I wasn't likely to get much if any running in for most of the remainder of the course so I bailed on the O and went for a trail run instead.
C • #6 2
Run - Trail 25:00 [3] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
after bailing on O, went for a trail run on a combination of trails, some road and finished up with some terrain along the lake back to the pavilion. Much more enjoyable to run in the woods rather than the slow navigational pace I had been doing on red - just wasn't having any fun with that...
Orienteering race (Yellow 2 (aka sprinting)) 12:54 [5] *** 2.2 km (5:52 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Another round of sprint training - so what if the rest of my 'competition' on the course were 12 years olds... It felt good to run hard and fast and with the US Sprint Champs next weekend, this is the kind of running I needed to be doing. Ran it hard, pretty much redlining it from the beginning, nailed every control cleanly. I'm sure more speed training in terrain and dropping the extra 5# I'm toting would improve my times, but this is where I'm at going into next weekends event, so its what we'll go with. Hopefully make the sprint training at Stratton on Wednesday evening, then off to Rochester next weekend..

Event: Pawtuckaway Camping Weekend
Orienteering (White 1) 28:00 [1] 2.0 km (14:00 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Shadowed Hayden on White course - some navigational assistance needed, but ran well. Raining lightly
Orienteering race (Red 1) 1:28:00 [3] *** 5.5 km (16:00 / km) +150m 14:05 / km
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Red course - steady rain, contacts w/ no glasses for protection. Tried to run conservatively and stay in contact on Big Island, always a problem area for me. Although I was tending to slow down just before the circle, it was more cautionary than anything else and for 8 controls I was pretty much navigating very cleanly. Then a total loss of contact and other errors on #9 & #10 which together took me 29 minutes. ouch... Rest of course ran pretty cleanly with only minor bobbles, but those two consecutive booms really blew it for me. On the positive side, running a rainy race in Pawtuckaway terrain - I can't attribute any of my issues to vision - so the contacts are definitely a successful option...
Orienteering race (Yellow 1 (aka sprint)) 15:41 [5] *** 2.0 km (7:51 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Ran yellow course for sprint training. Light rain. Ran well all the way around except for #7 where I left the clearing 90ish degrees off mistaking the parking area for the clearing I wanted to run for, when I realized my error, I compounded it by running out the wrong side of the parking area. Ran well and fast, but a very 'wide' route choice on what should have been a direct shot through the woods.
Orienteering (Vampire O) 45:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas Response Trail 14
Vampire O with the family - Hayden and I ran ahead memory O style on some controls, then regrouped with family (Anna was map bearer). Quite a fun night in lightly misting conditions..
