Orienteering race (A-Meet Sprint) 23:46 [5] ***** 2.9 km (8:12 / km) +100m 6:59 / km
spiked:11/12c (injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
Dry but cool today. The ground is still saturated from all the rain the last 2 days.
Blue/Red US Sprint Champs - Had a decent run in the morning. Lost major time (4:30) at #3. Had my right contact lens poked out by a tree branch on the way to #3. Tried without success to put it back on, then proceeded to lose it in the mud. With only one eye being 20/20, I had a hard time adjusting to my new vision initially. As a result, got off track and overran the control. Otherwise, it was a very clean run.
Orienteering race (A-Meet Relay) 1:15:07 [5] **** 6.1 km (12:19 / km) +265m 10:07 / km
spiked:11/15c (injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
4pt Relay (3rd leg) Green - Second event of the day, but legs are feeling pretty okay after the Sprint in the morning. It was an alright run as I had 2 major and 2 minor mistakes. Getting in and out of the steep, muddy gullies are tiring and no fun!

Physical game by the opposing team. Legs are just tired and sore from orienteering earlier. No unusual pain detected.

Orienteering race (A-Meet Middle Blue) 1:22:47 [4] **** 5.4 km (15:20 / km) +220m 12:44 / km
spiked:13/17c (injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
Rainy, wet, and muddy. Mild temperature (60s) though.
M21+ Blue - First time orienteering in 6 weeks, so my technique is very rusty. Had a very shaky start (taking 17:00 to find the first control!) but settled down once I warmed up to the environment. Had some poor route choices out there, just not mentally sharp to take advantage of what the terrain had to offer. Mistakes at 11, 12, and 13 towards the end of the course (mental fatigue?)
Left knee and IT Band seem okay after all the off-trail running and steep terrains at East Fork.

Results/photos
A bit chilly at the start, but slowly warmed up afterwards. It wasn't breezy, which was a plus.
Very hilly course from Downtown Cincy east to US 50. Turnaround at Delta and ran up and back down Torrence (big steep hill at mile 6), before heading west on US 50 back to Downtown.
Tried the Clif Blocs for the first time in a race - not bad, definitely easier to take than the GU. Posted a very good time. Started out a bit faster than planned (6:52) in the first mile, but settled into my own pace and relaxed through the middle stretch before the big hill. Passed up a bunch of people on Torrence, and was able to push hard to finish strong at the end. I'm surprised my average pace was better than my first mile pace!
Wore the knee brace. First big test for the knee and IT Band since I began PT sessions. Both held up just fine during the race. Had minimal tightness after shower and cool down.
