Orienteering race 1:07:38 [4] **** 6.8 km (9:57 / km) +110m 9:12 / km
spiked:16/18c shoes: VJ Falcons 2
NAOC Long Green Y on Klondike State Forest map. More glacial terrain with another excellent map and course. Overcast and humid, but no rain today.
Best run of the weekend. Clean through 8 except for some small hesitations on 1 and 3. Got stung on the ear by a bee coming out of 3 but pretty much ignored it. Saw Charlie S. coming into 4 as I was leaving (he started 6 min ahead), but never saw him again until the finish. Bad route choice to 9 when I decided to take the trail to the right. The area mapped as "open with scattered trees" was logging slash with ferns and the trail through the swamp wasn't particularly fast. Cost me about 2 minutes. Hesitated a bit going into 10 and then was the caboose on a train of M50/55's to 11. Left 11 with Rick Breseman and then punched just ahead of him at 12 having taken a different route. Rick and I flip-flopped for the rest of the race. Lost a minute on 17 by drifting too far right of the line and not correcting until I was almost at the road near the finish. Second fastest on the course (3:15 behind PG). First in M55 and fastest three day total time (so I won a Herkimer diamond!).
Excellent event put on by CNYO with excellent maps, courses and organization.
