Orienteering race 42:25 [5] *** 4.68 km (9:04 / km) +72m 8:25 / km
spiked:8/8c shoes: Salomon SC 3 Bl/Bl
Twin Boulders, (Medicine Bow Nat'l Forest, east of Laramie, WY). Day 4 of the Rocky Mtn O'Fest, Day 1 of the 3 day Western States Champs. Start 9:48.
Brown, 4.5 km, 115m climb. 1st of 49.
Loved it! No mistakes, ran hard when I could, had to walk some due to the rarified air, a little over cautious at times, but the idea was to be mistake free for sure, and I did that. This is what orienteering should always be :-)
--Lost a few secs at #7 because I didn't immediately recognize the knoll (looked like the boulders).
--Lost a few secs at #8 because I was tiring
First seven split ranks were all 2's (4 of 'em) or 3's; last two (including the chute) were 4 and 7.

Running warm up/down 6:00 [3] 0.4 mi (15:00 / mi)
shoes: Salomon SC 3 Bl/Bl
Warm up. Legs felt pretty loose and the start was only 500m away, so didn't do much warm up. L got to the call up line and realized she forgot her estick and ran back to the car. But they gave her a new start time, so it was OK.
