Orienteering race 30:45 [4] ** 3.5 km (8:47 / km)
shoes: orienteering shoes
WIOL champs meet. There were a couple of interesting controls that were further off-trail than most of the controls during the WIOL season. I overshot one of them, because it was on a really steep slope and I couldn't see it from the angle I approached it from. I should have been pace-counting but wasn't...Anyway, I lost about a minute at that control.
I hit the other interesting control well, but made a silly mistake on an easy control in a bunch of buildings. Overall, a pretty clean race with a couple of small errors.
It was on a new map with two very different sections--the college and the grounds; since the grounds were mapped at 1:7500 and the college at 1:4000, it was a little confusing at the transition point.
Anyway, another really fun orienteering day. It's strange that it was my last WIOL meet...I'm going to miss you guys :-/.

Note
I felt a little sluggish after donating blood today, so I didn't go for a run.

Orienteering race 51:39 [4] *** 5.1 km (10:08 / km)
shoes: orienteering shoes
Day 2. Control 1 was really fast, but I ran several circles around control 2 before actually locating it...I had originally intended to go around a valley, then decided halfway through that it wasn't very steep and I could go through it (possibly b/c of the 3m contours?). So I changed my route halfway through, over-corrected, and saw another control. I ran straight toward the control and of course it was the wrong one....
Anyway, controls 3,4,5 were fast, control 6 was fast but I had a slightly silly route, I made a slight parallel error on control 7, controls 8 and 9 were fast, on control 10 I mistook a cliff for a road, and controls 11 and 12 were short.
Overall, much messier run than Friday and Saturday, but I think I was running much faster to make up for it :-/.
