Event: US Night & Relay Champs
4 PM
orienteering 13:47 1.25 mi (11:01 / mi) +115ft 10:09 / mi
ahr:140 max:158 shoes: x-talon 212 #2
Nice joggeroo -- when you travel with Ali, it's impossible not to have some Ali-speak rub off -- around a sprint course at Cuivre River. 1.7 km course. Night-O' in a couple of hours. Trying not to waste myself in the sprint.
The park brings back memories. Last time here was 1988 (long-O and relay champs), and then the time before that in 1980 for the US Champs.
Somewhat annoying trip out but really could have been worse. Left at 4:30, swung by Amherst, down to Bradley, our flight to Raleigh is canceled, so we're off to Detroit, which is OK, but a 2.5 hour layover, which turns into four hours in reality. But on the plus side, smooth flights, naps on both, plus Alex's friend Sharon was waiting for us at the airport, whisked us out to CR just in time to get in the "sprint." And, in the "could have been much worse" category, glad we weren't leaving a couple of hours earlier when the roads were really icy and lots of accidents including a couple of fatalities in Northampton. By the time we were going the salt trucks had been out, but I was still driving not so fast....

Night O' Champs. Not a whole lot of fun. Didn't care for the course, didn't care for the map, didn't care for my performance. Oh well. Times like this tell me it's time to hang up the O' shoes.
Hooked up with Bill Pullman, who ran very well on his course, had a very pleasant late sandwich and beer together. Then timed watching the World Series perfectly -- turned on the TV and the Cardinals were celebrating, so we could turn it off again.
Tomorrow is another day, I hope....
