Orienteering Meet race 1:07:09 [5] *** 6.0 km (11:12 / km) +330m 8:47 / km
spiked:16/18c shoes: Icebug green #5
Last day of the Flying Pig at Miami Whitewater. These have always been great event and seem to get even better. Of course I like ridge and valley best.
On the course:
no 2 I went high on the ridge because of yesterday in that area and it was better. On 3 I took trail to road and road to frist gully north, hit the trail and angled in from there. This was a tough area and since I was looking for a small hill between a dot knoll in green, I thought it was a bingo control. Lost only a minute there but was scratching my head trying to figure it out.
Last mistake was on 5 as I went up the gully to the south of the small reentrant.
I took the road around to 6 and the rest of the course was like a middle event, which was ok with me.
Lots of top comp there and after I was home did I see that I actually won the m-60 class.
Weather was great and CAOC club members had a great showing with some top results all over the board.

Orienteering Meet race 1:10:09 [5] *** 5.6 km (12:32 / km) +250m 10:14 / km

Miami Whitewater. Been waiting years for them to come back to this great map. Might not be so good in the summer or fall.
My run was not so fast and lost 3 minutes on control 15 a 100-150 meter control. Just could not get my head around staying low and I kept heading high. Went back to relocate on 14 and still headed high again. Finally stayed low and got it. The finish few controls were just physically tough.
At 62, I am running not so crazy hard, just focus on the map and legs.
Still I ended up third now 2 days in a row.
Have to get some Skyline chili tonight.

Flying Pig Sprint at Miami university Hamilton campus.
Big oops driving here at I went to Oxford campus where they have been usually. I was about a half hour away.
Anyway the sprint was mostly wooded till the end. Just really was gased from the running during run, not sure why.

Running 48:00 [3] 7.5 km (6:24 / km)
Bong!!! Yep a muddy run down the road at Bong state park.
I thought by going there I would avoid the mud, ha ha not. I usually don't run there because the trails are somewhat boring, but actually not and I will go there a few more times when it drys up a bit.
Katie got pretty muddy too.
