Event: 2006 Sprint Series Finals
Orienteering race 14:30 [4] *** 2.4 km (6:02 / km) +40m 5:35 / km

Sprint #1 at Hickory Run, 1st in my heat. Just needed to be in the top two to advance, and since Mike Lyons and I had a good lead, it didn't have to be full effort. The one "miss" was #3, where I went a few meters past the copse and then turned around -- pretty generous to call that "4x4 meters".
Orienteering race 17:45 [4] *** 2.32 km (7:39 / km) +55m 6:50 / km

Sprint #2 at Hickory Run, 1st in my heat. Got away from the pack at #5 and was out in front from then on, although I did catch Spike (from the previous heat) and was in his vicinity for a while. The miss was #11, where I popped out into the clearig in the right spot, but thought I need to go further to the left, and made a few steps in that direction before realizing where I was and turning around.
Orienteering race 19:12 [4] *** 2.55 km (7:32 / km) +80m 6:31 / km
spiked:14/15c shoes: VJ Falcons #1
Sprint #3 (final) at Hickory Run. Missed #3 by about a minute, and that was the race in a nutshell. Spike got a lead of about a minute there, which he hung onto and claimed victory. Patric Shannon and Nate Lyons were way too far to teh right, and I was on target, but needed to be a few meter further to my left to see the control. Instead, I overshot, and arrived with those two, and we traded off the lead until the ennd when they outran me. Wound up 4th place for Heat #2.
