US Champs middle red. Good course and grooming on thin cover in places.
Wax good, HF7 for low 20's with single digit overnight.
Took a longer route to #1 to avoid dirt and lost 45 sec. Then missed turns on #6 and #7 for loss of 3 and 9 min respectively. On #7 ended up at the bottom of the hill and ran up a snowshoe trail to the control.
Other legs were okay fast, but disappointed overall. Moving fast enough to get confused.
2nd old guys.

Red Middle Distance - Splits

Event: U.S. Ski Orienteering Championships
 

Red Morse Farm - Splits

Event: Connecticut Valley Ski-o Festival
 

Nice sunny day, good wax. Some issues with map, led to loss of 5 min on one control and probably close to that on another.

Easy with Greg, checking conditions.

Took a look at trails. Groomed up Fields and those trails are great. Pines need another pass, and more pick-up-sticks, but will be okay. Upper trails have water bars which washed out and will have to be shoveled. Expected 4" tomorrow would sure be useful.

Travel east. Only one plane mix-up -- failed precheck and had to get us another, but still made it back in okay, just in time for afternoon and evening meetings and then...sleep.

Set out controls and track narrow trails.

Touring around, keeping an eye on the race.
