Orienteering 1:48:32 [4] **** 12.2 km (8:54 / km) +350m 7:47 / km
spiked:15/19c
Last day in Laramie, and a below average run on the RMG. The major issue was a ~10 minute error running off the map between 13-14. It took a while to relocate and my concentration was broken the rest of the way. I see Glen and Ted put up splits; I'll add mine, and a scan of the map, later today.

Orienteering race 1:07:30 [4] **** 8.7 km (7:46 / km) +245m 6:48 / km
spiked:14/17c
A very good day 2 run on Pelican Bay, a map that had tripped me up in the past. I went conservatively, took some route choices that emphasized safety over time, and made sure to slow down if I felt sketchy about location. Ended up with the fastest overall time on Red and the fastest combined 2-day time of all competitors on Red (regardless of class).

Red course for the first day of the RMOC A-meet. OK run, had problems on 2, 6, and 10, but felt fast running the open legs to 7-8-9. We will see, once the splits are posted. My own were: 112 535 204 329 604 418 934 409 325 1035 858 228 43

Daze 4 at Pitcher Hill. Good run on an open, fast course. Was slow into #1, in top 5 still though. Had a good leg 4-5 which let me catch up to John and open a gap on Jan and Ted. The rest of the course was mostly open running, so all I had to do was keep going and not boom anything. Ended up 3rd behind John and Eric.
Also took splits for the first time in a while:

Orienteering 22:00 [2] 2.0 km (11:00 / km) +40m 10:00 / km
Warmup on the north half of Rattlesnake Hill training map. Ran into a bull moose (well, not literally) on the way to #9, so skipped that one and did 10-16. I've been having bad luck with ungulates lately.
10 AM
Orienteering race 52:59 [4] *** 5.9 km (8:59 / km) +190m 7:44 / km
spiked:14/23c
One Cowboy Relay at the rock-filled Gates of AMT Hell map. Blew the first and second loops with bad navigation in the rocks, third and fourth loops were better, as was the fifth. Still, I ran fast enough to find myself competing with Kevin, Jan, and Ted for places 3-6. Ended up in 5th overall, pretty good considering how shaky I felt on the navigation.
My loop order was D-C-A-B-Z (I think). As usual, click on the maps for full size.

Orienteering race 47:40 [4] *** 5.5 km (8:40 / km) +220m 7:13 / km
spiked:6/10c
Daze 2 at Middle Crow's Toe. The first four were long legs on the open spurs west of the road, and then we crossed back to the Toe for detailed rock terrain. The change messed me up and I made mistakes on 6, 7 and 10. However, I wasn't the only one to make mistakes, and only slipped one place to 4th. Ted Good had a clean run through the rocks which enabled him to take over 3rd. Jan passed me on the way to 6 but made his own mistake on 9-10. Splits really would have been fun for this one.

spiked:5/7c
First half of Rattlesnake Hill training map. High noon and it was hot out, so I walked the course and picked off features. Originally I was going to try straight-lining the legs, but a herd of cows started to get alarmed by my presence near 1 and 2, and forced me to take a bit of a detour. The rest of it was pretty good, but I did start to feel the heat, and my shins started to really get irritated by the sage.

Event: 2012 Laramie Daze
10 AM
Orienteering race 45:58 [4] *** 5.7 km (8:04 / km) +200m 6:52 / km
spiked:9/10c
Daze 1 on a new map "Moose Outlet". I jumped out in front with John Goodwin, and true to the name, we startled a moose on way from 2 to 3. John gapped me on 8-9, but I kept it up for a comfortable 2nd. Kevin had third, but according to him it was intentional, so we could "flush out any moose or bear" :)

2 PM
MTB (technical) 1:00:49 [3] *** 9.09 mi (9.0 mph)
A short bike on the Pole Mountain trails - not too long because I didn't want to cash my legs. The descent on Lower UW and Middle Aspen deserves some helmet cam, so I'll be back for at least that.
