Orienteering 2:52:48 *** 14.06 km (12:17 / km) +301m 11:06 / km
18c shoes: Inov 340 Pair #2
Long Extreme-O as A Large Orange Hedge
Meet 4, course 6
I had a fun time trying a series of exercises and activities outside the norm. Navigating from aerial photos, bearings, ARDF leg, contour-O, window-O, etc spiced up with a rope bridge. The human hamster wheel was a tough goofy. I continue to like maze-O. The photo-O chewed up a pile of our time, as did the radio leg and leg 2 to the bridge. For the photos, we just didn't understand the excercise initially and the radio control took a couple of tries as the signal was not very strong. We got to the bridge quickly but bag under the bridge support didn't seem to match the clue very well. All in all, understanding the games would have chopped about 30 min off our time.
Finished the day with an 8h drive home. This was shockingly easier than anticipated.

2015 GNC Day 2, red
Meet 4, course 5
I will update this later but in brief, this was one of my best runs in recent past. Physically good but not great, however navigationally, I only made one regrettable error of under 2 min. Talking with Spike after the meet, there were a few things I realize could have been done better but definitely a good day. Great woods. Still a fair bit of climb but it was much better distributed so it felt ok.
Two time-outs are still in AP list. Finished amazingly 1s ahead of yurets. I was definitely feeling the uphill finish.
2nd on the weekend, psych!
p.s. thanks to cedarcreek for the power cable or there wouldn't have been a garmin track.

2015 GNC Red Top Mountain, Red 6.4k
Meet 4, course 4
Tentative first two legs. Very wobbly on the third leg, really thought I was going to completely mess it up and was saved by a control I recognized from earlier in the course. My race improved from there but was never particularly fast or comfortable. The running was mostly open until you hit a rotted softwood hole or rocks under pine needles. Rolled my ankle a few times very gently, including in the callup box :(
