SawMill Creek. I like this park. I cut through the woods on 2-3 but went around on 1-2. I had to look at the map as I couldn't remember which control was next.
Orienteering (bike) 13:11 [2] 3.25 km (4:03 / km)
Saw Mill Bike to Thomas Dixon Observatory. I tried to bike hard but was tired. I never really shifted to a higher gear.

Thomas Dixon Observatory. Short course. I put the bike down, took off the helmet and tried to run. I didn't feel like I was going very fast.
bike (road) 8:45 [3] 2.2 mi (3:59 / mi)
Bike back to Saw Mill. Same trail back but didn't have to stop for controls.

Queenstown park. I did this on foot as I didn't want to deal with biking over the fallen trees. I took on bad route because I didn't read the fallen trees. It was tough to get by even on foot. Didn't get any chiggers.
Distance is much longer by trail. Traveled 2.12 miles

Ft Meade High School/Middle SChool. The three hour time limit expired before I could get any controls. I was hoping to get at least one control but before I could get out of the car the time expired.
Since the time expired, and I was so tired I could not run anymore. My thighs were starting to cramp up if I tried running. I ended up walking a lot with some jogging in between.
Note
Took a break at this point. Went and got a giant slurpee and went home to recover some. Later went back out with Darcy.
