Orienteering race 23:32 [4] *** 2.7 km (8:43 / km)
spiked:14/14c

Pine Banks sprint, head to head with Alexei, Pia, Dean, and Dan Westerburg. Made a better route choice to the first control and got there ahead of everybody, though Alexei wasn't far behind. He slowly pulled away on the next two legs, and I lost sight of him in the green on top of the hill. Never saw anybody else, other than crossing paths with Alexei when he was on #9 and I was on #7.

Course setting 26:25 [1] *** 1.7 km (15:32 / km)

Control pickup with Stephen. I had him navigate a couple of bits after discussing the routes.

Pull-ups 14 [5]

End of the month trials. During the day, I feel all stoked and figure I can surely do 20 or more, but then when the time comes to head out to the garage, I don't feel quite so confident. Almost made 15 — after having relaxed my shoulders, I managed to get started upwards again, but before I quite got my chin over the bar, I stalled, and no amount of kicking my legs could do anything about it.

Orienteering race 1:28:39 [3] *** 8.46 km (10:29 / km) +360m 8:38 / km
spiked:18/20c

West Point Blue. A much nicer and more enjoyable course. Same number of misses as yesterday, but they were much smaller, just overrunning to the next boulder a couple of times, maybe three minutes total time lost. But I also ran low on energy with a couple of km to go, so I wasn't moving very fast for the last four controls. Stiil, nice to have such a clean run in a sweet area on a day that was really quite nice for orienteering.

Note

Stopped at UConn on the way home and checked out Clint's big flower bud. This one has serious potential, and I'm hoping it turns out spectacularly for him.

spiked:15/17c shoes: VJ Falcons #1

West Point Blue. A pretty uninspired course, and I managed to be pretty much perfect on the boring parts. A few of the legs were actually quite fine, and I managed to screw two of those up, one by about 4 minutes by poor route execution and a bit of misreading the terrain, the other by not being careful enough entering a very detailed area, and having no idea which feature to look on, even though i passed through the circle — had to back up and relocate, losing probably a bit over 5 minutes.

Orienteering race 16:15 [4] *** 2.2 km (7:23 / km)
spiked:20/22c

Sprint set by PG. Off to the right a bit on #2, and left #7 at about a 90 degree angle (in retrospect, I might have been looking at the contour line heading NW from the circle) and went between two of the barracks before correcting. Total errors about 40 seconds, I guess, which amounts to a couple of places. But my time in the chute wasn't too embarrassing, at least.

Running in terrain 31:58 [4]

A short double loop: down to the esker, powerline trail to the Mystery Blazes, N until the woods opened up, W to the Horse trail, back to the Mystery Blazes to the Enigma Road, shortcut to the crossing log (almost submerged) and home. Pushed pretty hard the whole way.

Hang gliding! (Morningside) 12:00 [4] +88m
shoes: Wal*Mart Carson

Carried to the 150' for two flights, then rode the ATV to the 250' for four more. Wind was pretty calm, so these were all short, tame flights, but they were all very good from launch to landing, which is a fine way to start the season after a few months off. I think I should definitely be able to move up to the 450' launch next time if weather conditions cooperate.
