Orienteering 1:07:50 [4] 6.84 km (9:55 / km) +280m 8:14 / km
Patapsco (Middle Atlantic Champs) blue course.
Didn't place so hot but really enjoyed the experience. I love running in snow - the leg feels good and I believe it mitigates any speed disadvantages I have.
Of course, like the last time I was at that place, the Orienteering was bad for me - though much better today than last time. ~9 minutes mistakes?
Felt stronger and more confident as the course went on.
Orienteering 24:45 [4] 3.26 mi (7:36 / mi) +110m 6:52 / mi
Advanced leg of the relay. My strategy was to follow the fastest guy, but since Eddie was wearing hiking boots, I followed the guy with the Bulgaria suit like glue. I don't think I added much value.
Unfortunately, the guy in the blue/green suit drove hard going into last control and so I was following two people at that point. Somewhat shamefully, I passed the kind Bulgarian on the run-in, but I had to do it...
