Orienteering race 1:55:19 [3] 14.8 km (7:47 / km) +602m 6:28 / km
shoes: La Sportiva 2012
Long distance. Nice hilly terrain with detailed contours and rock features. A good start and had no problems the first half hour. Then I made a 1 minute mistake on 6, and lost a lot more time on 7, 8, and 9. I wasn't able to adapt to the changing navigation required. Probably lost 15-20 minutes here so it was difficult to keep motivated after that. Kept going and finished ok.
A bit disappointed in all of my race this weekend. One positive is that all 3 race started quite well. A big lesson is that the first mistake should be a big warning that something is not quite right with the navigation strategy and that I should refocus.

Orienteering race 44:45 [4] 6.34 km (7:04 / km) +105m 6:31 / km
shoes: La Sportiva 2012
Middle distance. Very nice terrain, Swedish-like contours, with Danish-like forest (mostly leaf forest). Useless to attempt to run in the pouring rain with glasses today.
Could not really see the details on the map with wet glasses, so relied on compass to get me close to the control, but couldn't verify my location along the way. A little disappointing because this was really sweet terrain that usually suits me. 10mins back on the leaders. Looks like great runs by Eric K and Boris.

US Orienteering Champs in Lake George, NY. Forest sprint. Open forest in a campground like area. Started out well, but the navigation felt rusty. Ran too much without checking compass and made a few 20s mistakes. Tripple-tied for 7th, about 30s behind Eric K.
