Orienteering race 1:24:32 [4] *** 10.51 km (8:03 / km) +275m 7:07 / km
spiked:15/17c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
Classic course on Huntington map. Red Course (M45, also the women's WRE course). A good run on an excellent course and map. Mostly reading features well and maintaining contact. Got distracted by others on the way to 6 and lost a couple of minutes. I lost time on 3 legs late in the race to non-optimum route choices - I was tired and took the first route I saw rather than pick the best. About 5 or 6 minutes of errors overall (10 min/k was doable). Straightline distance was 7.9 km.
On the long leg (7 - 8) I took a route to the right of the line which included about 50% major trails( dirt roads). Most people went straighter, following various less-green corridors to get from trail to trail. I think I was about 1:30 faster than I would have been going straighter.
Quite a change in the weather from Saturday. In the 40's and very windy.
4th in M45 (both today and 2 day total). 20 out of 46 on classic course.

10 AM
Orienteering race 49:16 [4] *** 5.59 km (8:49 / km) +120m 7:58 / km
spiked:7/13c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
Middle Distance on Ansonia Map. Red Course. Sloppy run with lots of little mistakes, no big ones. Was off to the side by 30 - 80 meters on 5 different controls but stopped at the right distance and each time managed to turn in the right direction. Checked out the wrong set of boulders about 60m early on #4. A rain shower before I started but just wet woods while I was out. Straightline distance was 4.4km.

Trail Run 42:47 [3] 4.13 mi (10:22 / mi) +82m 9:46 / mi
shoes: NB 874
At Hand Hollow, west part from the parking area near Co Rt 9. Up to the upper lot and back with some side loops. Got in some off trail running when I went into an indistinct trail network and ended up bushwacking to get back to trails. Breezy and about 60.
Beavers have been building a lodge on (and under) a bridge on the main trail. The conservation area maintainers have decided to let the beavers be and try to keep the trail/bridge open. Hmmm - I'm anticipating wet feet the next time I visit.

Road Run intervals 39:58 4.2 mi (9:31 / mi) +115m 8:46 / mi
shoes: NB878 - #9
Hill intervals (on a dirt road). 5 x Hill where Hill = 355m long with about 23m climb. Recovery jogging back down the hill (about 2:30). Splits: 1:50, 1:48, 1:46, 1:55, 1:56. Faded on the last two but did the plan (actually the modified plan since the original plan was to do 4x when I thought the hill was a bit longer and would take 2:20 - 2:30). Just under 60F, so more comfortable running than over the weekend.
