Event: Hickory Run
9 AM
orienteering race 14:30 2.87 km (5:04 / km)
ahr:172 max:190 17c
Fairly straightforward sprint, straight line was usually the best option. The green was runnable for the most part. No major mistakes, a few hesitations and a weave or two. It was cold and I hadn't warmed up properly.
orienteering warm up/down 23:01 3.13 km (7:21 / km)

11 AM
orienteering race 34:58 5.08 km (6:53 / km)
ahr:174 max:191 16c
Not impressed with this. Too many mistakes. For the first time in ages I checked codes of three controls that weren't on my course (and I knew were not on my course). Amateur.
Wore short tights instead of O-pants for fun, like in the sprint, since the sprint had been so runnable. Got whipped for my stupidity, not sure if it slowed me down much.

running 46:53 6.52 km (7:12 / km)

a few drills, then a jog on the Silver Lake trails and back. Not overly confident downhilling on damp, leafy, rocky trails in the dark.

running 1:45:57 17.33 km (6:07 / km)
ahr:134 max:162
Out to Croton Dam and back, a lot more water going down the cascades tonight. It's a pretty place. Raining and dark, had the roads to myself.
Nice run, spent a lot of time thinking about convolutions, didn't make much progress. Coming up the hill on the way back, about 1h20 in, I felt a bit dodge.

Note
Added gps routes to Routegadget for the Fall Foliage weekend. Control 14 on the long and a few controls in the middle are entertaining. There is a bit of distortion in the middle, eg. 12->13 I ran on the path for a bit and came in over the knoll (I didn't want to do that, and was surprised it happened...

orienteering race 50:00 7.42 km (6:45 / km)
ahr:160 max:181 spiked:10/16c
Lovely day. The pretty Scandi girls in the lot before the start stopped me doing a proper warm-up. Oops.
1 ok, 2nd ok except the control circle was centred on the upper cliff, so I went there first (the code said the western, lower one). Hadn't planned three, and got the control exit wrong and did a bit of a loop to 3. 5 I hesitated 100m before, wasn't sure I hadn't gone off-line.
6-13, fine. 14 I lost a few seconds at the rock-pile instead of the knoll/crag. 15 I hesitated coming into the circle, the print quality wasn't superb and I had a little trouble reading what was going on. 16 I hesitated - again the print quality wasn't up to scratch: the crag in the re-entrant was so thin it was invisible.
Are there no printing standards in this corner of the country? Can clubs not find a system which works really well and stick with it?
Great event anyhow :)
