Event: North American Championships
Orienteering race 12:27 [5] *** 1.8 km (6:55 / km) +50m 6:04 / km

North American Champs - Sprint Preliminary Course 2 (OGB) at Green Lakes SP. A good run with about 30 seconds of errors - 20 seconds by not seeing the ride as a route choice from 3 -4 and 10 seconds changing my plan to go to the right rather than left on 5 - 6. Was the third starter (Phil B. was first) so didn't have the benefit of herd paths which probably cost another 30 seconds or so. Had Phil in sight (or "in the sight") off and on from the 3rd control to the finish but never caught him. 8th overall on the course, 1st in M55. Overcast, showery and in the 60's.
Orienteering race 15:18 [5] *** 2.3 km (6:39 / km) +40m 6:07 / km

NAOC Sprint Final - Course 2 (OGB). Not as good a run as the prelim. with about a minute's worth of errors. Went through the rough open for 5-6 and followed the wrong herd path for a 30 second loss. Around on the road was faster. Came out of 11 in the wrong direction and hit the main road, costing another 30 seconds. 13th overall on the course, 2nd in M55 and got nipped by 5 seconds by Charlie S. for total time for the two sprints. Fun sprint courses except for the small inequity caused by herd paths in the rough open vegetation.
