Orienteering 43:22 [3] *** 1.9 km (22:49 / km)
spiked:12/13c shoes: INOV-8 Trail Talon 225
I really messed up today. It was my day for a stupid mistake, after keeping focus for four races. I was doing very well through 5, then lost focus and must have confused 6 and 9. Compounding, I ran around unsuccessfully trying to relocate. Finally, I found 3, and finished the course. I took 20 minutes to find 6, which was probably a loss of16 to 17 minutes. The only good part of the day was that I did well on route choices for the other 12 controls. Now I need to stop dwelling on this and look forward to a better day tomorrow.

Note
A day off to visit with my brother Paul, and sister-in-law
Jan. We got to their house a bit late because of picking up a score in our front tire. Fixed. Then we spent the day sight-seeing. Lots of interesting historical sights around Auburn and a drive down to the American river confluence. Lots of walking about and a good meal in Auburn.

Orienteering 1:03:29 [4] *** 2.9 km (21:53 / km) +100m 18:40 / km
ahr:108 max:141 spiked:22/25c
Lots of rain, sometimes heavy, but only a light sprinkle during my race. A bit confused at the start at the 1:4000 scale, a f a few concerns about whether I had got them in order until 7 or 8. I was really glad at the finish that I was ok.
I had to stop and breathe a few times on both trips up a steep hill. I had hoped to break an hour, but didn't make it. I did have a pretty good pace when factoring in the hill climb. Beautiful campus. Lots of fun.

Note
A cold, windy, and rainy day. So much for sunny California. The only thing I've done today besides eat, is lots of laundry. At least I didn't have to waste a good day on laundry. Tomorrow is another event. I hope the rain stops or at least, slows down.

Orienteering 1:01:27 [4] *** 3.2 km (19:12 / km)
ahr:110 max:147 spiked:15/17c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212
Middle distance coi ese at Pinole Point. Mostly flat. It looked like a lot of white and yellow on the map, but it was difficult footing with all the junk all over the ground. At first, the change in scale was a bit confusing, but I adjusted after a couple of controls. I did ok. The only regret was not beating an hour.
After the race, I attended my second mapping clinic of the meet. Hot some good ideas.

Not as good as yesterday. We were in overflow
w parking, so I had a hike and fence crossing to get to the assembly area. Then a
2.6 km hike to the start.. the only big mistake was going to 4. There was a large area of dark green, so I aimed off to hit a tr
aol. Unfortunately, there were several tr
ails and I went back and forth on several before finding the correct one.

ahr:105 max:150 spiked:15/18c shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212
Middle distance at Morgan Territory Regional Preserve. A 500-km walk to the start and a mostly uphill walk from the finish back. Lots of mud. Trashed out my shoes and pants. It was supposed to rain, but the rain held off until I finished.
No major mistakes. I did nothing stupid. How refreshing. Lots of rocks, and alt a feel controls I had to find the right rock, but I knew I was in the correct location. Anyway, I feel very good about my effort.
