Event: Flying Pig XII
Note
Will post on Monday (and maybe even post maps).
Orienteering race (Brown) 35:23 [4] *** 2.7 km (13:06 / km) +90m 11:14 / km
spiked:9/12c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Middle distance race at Rentschler Forest (NW of Cincinnati), which seemed more like a long sprint race with many short legs. 4th fastest on the course out of 13 who competed on Brown Friday (George and Lyn Walker were two of the three who were faster), which was a fine start to the weekend and my 1st year as F55. :-)
I could have taken a more direct route from 6-7 rather than skirting the green and tops of reentrants. I forgot the contours were 3m rather than 5m so the straight-line route would have been faster, but I did find the ditch without much problem.
Nice use of the often-green woods and this area.

Note
Warm-up (not counted on the other races as I usually only do a few minutes of jogging to get the muscles going and a few stretches) was 1.2 k, including about 3/4 of a mile along a busy road (before we turned off onto a side road where I did *not* so much as look at the fence. Muscles were definitely ready to go by the time I got there. The light rain of earlier in the day had stopped by the time we went out late, but it was still plenty muddy. :-) Lots of mud to get off the shoes so I could get them dry enough to use Saturday afternoon.
