orienteering race 2:02:00 [3] **** 10.8 km (11:18 / km)
shoes: Salomon Sense Mantra
QOC Patapsco. Rain, 40 degrees and flood conditions. Several major stream crossings with swift current. I chose a poor spot to cross (too narrow) and had to go back, get a hiking stick and move to a wider spot and cross more carefully. Very technical control placements, many not visible until you are right on it. Great use of all the mapped features and good route choices available. Wet condition made me choose routes that crossed streams further upstream or avoided them altogether, and to avoid steep hills that could be slippery and slow and difficult to climb. More mistakes than usually, maybe due to slippery conditions that made me focus on footing more than reading the map and compass.

Earth Treks in Rockville. Bouldering V0 and V1, then top roping, a nice 5.7 chimney and attempted some new 5.8 routes. Very crowded again.
