Event: OCIN Flying Pig XXII
4 PM
Orienteering race 34:31 *** 4.33 km (7:58 / km) +140m 6:52 / km
ahr:152 max:176 spiked:12/14c shoes: VJ Falcons 8
Flying Pig Middle at Pyramid Hill. 3.6k, 140m. Cool venue with about 50 sculptures scattered about the park. Lots of open land but also plenty of woods (some thickish and occasionally prickly). Road/trail network throughout but complex enough to make things challenging at speed. Low 50s and overcast (with an impending temperature drop and precipitation - which happened a couple hours later).
An OK run, much better after the first two controls. Lost about 30 sec on the first control following the wrong ditch. Couldn't make sense of things on the way to 2 and frittered away about 2 minutes with hesitations and swinging wide to the right until I figured it out. Ok the rest of the way. 9th on Green, 4th M60 by 1:19, 2nd in "M65-Green" (Steve T, Charlie S, Tom N and me).

Event: DVOA Governor Dick
11 AM
Orienteering race 2:40:10 *** 12.94 km (12:23 / km) +500m 10:22 / km
ahr:128 max:159 spiked:18/26c shoes: VJ Falcons 8
Blue course at DVOA local event on Governor Dick map. 8.7k, 360m. Wanted to do a long run as Billygoat training - mission accomplished, although I somewhat overachieved on the goal. My orienteering brain stopped at about 80-90 minutes so I bobbled a couple of the short but technical controls and then took a massive walkabout on the way to control 20 (a good portion of it crossing boulder fields I didn't really need to). AP has me with 40+ minutes of error. Fortunately, it was a wonderful day to be in the woods (sunny and in the 50s).
