Running race (orienteering) 2:10:27 [3] 10.25 mi (12:44 / mi) +1814ft 10:54 / mi

Another thrashing. Or was it me that was thrashing about the woods aimlessly. Once again it was impressive to watch. these guys are real good at what the do and I spend way too much time looking behind the WRONG boulders. Generally took longer routes along roads when I should have just went for it cross country. Spend lots of time walking because of all the map detail. I would just try to take it in and focus on the nav.

Great meet excellently run

came in 23-32

Running warm up/down (orienteering) 1:00:00 [2] 2.5 km (24:00 / km) +110ft 22:30 / km

went out with Kevin on his course. Good fun. he won his division white rec (he was the only competitor). He got to stand up in front of the entire crowd and collect his chocolate bar for winning.

ahr:154 max:176

Great course just like UW with some nice wooded terrain and lots of ope running. Finished 25 out of 70. Hoped I would do better but everyone was super good and fast. took some time to get used to all the details and the 1:5,000. Early on I was reading/walking alot when I could have just looked up and seen the control.

Running race (orienteering) 1:04:26 [4] 10.0 km (6:27 / km) +700ft 5:49 / km
ahr:138 max:163

satuday middle course. It was tough and the competitors were running past me like I was an idiot. So many details on the map to follow i could barely run. It was ok as my goal was to get better with a technical map.

One issue and it was the same with the last A meet - It seems that the controls are hidden very well and unless you are very good at reading all sorts of little dots and slashes on the map, you could stand in the circle and spend minutes looking for the control until - BINGO. that was me I would carefully plod my way along to the circle get there and spend minutes looking behind boulders for the correct one. Kinda depression and not real fun on that part.

i was beat handily 23 out of 33.

The good runners are impressive to watch and they have some serious skilz. Kinda like getting passed by and expert in a mtn bike race.

Running warm up/down (trail) 20:00 [3] 1.5 km (13:20 / km) +200ft 11:05 / km

hike to start with some jogging and paying attention to the model course along the way.

Running warm up/down (orienteering) 55:00 [2] 3.5 km (15:43 / km) +250ft 14:10 / km

shadowing Kevin on his course including carrying him up to the start on my shoulders. I have some great video of him during the meet and need to get it up loaded.

Friday Apr 17, 2009 #

Running (orienteering) 1:00:00 [2] 4.0 mi (15:00 / mi) +300ft 14:00 / mi

First full day back in NY. COC got spook lake map and we practiced. I went out with Kevin and then met up with Sarah, Mathew and Victoria halfway through.

Focused on the terrain, map and features. Lots of great features rocks, and slippery dry leaves. Now I know why orienteers wear spikes
