spiked:19/27c shoes: INOV8 Roclite 295
Had several issues overshooting and passing right by checkpoints. Was still able to move quickly and have a fairly good time but know it should be faster.
Two points were labeled woodline but neither were on the edge of a forest. Not sure he knew what woodline meant.

Mountain Biking race (MTBO) 4:25:36 [4] **** 21.3 mi (4.8 mph) +449ft
spiked:30/32c shoes: Salsa Moto Rapido
This was Orienteering with a Mountain Bike. There was not a ton of riding and required constant mounts and dismounts. I opted to bikewhack several sections instead of biking around. This distance is included. I believe this overall saved me time. Some sections more than others. My speedometer said my bike was only moving for 2.5 hours and my bike traveled 21.3 miles but some of that was trekking. I calculated from my route about 2.2 miles of walking without my bike trekking to and from CPs.
I got confused in one section and it took me about 10 minutes to figure out exactly where I was. I walked over another CP three times before noticing it. It had fallen on the ground and the colors were faded. I rehung it for others.
Most of the riding was on dirt roads with a few paved road sections mixed in.
I did not wear my gps watch during this section because I didn't think it would last the whole race and was more curious about the foot sections. Here is my route as best as I could do using an aerial photo and other aids. You can find it on mapmyrun. Wasn't able to export the gpx.

Orienteering race 2:39:54 [4] **** 8.59 mi (18:37 / mi) +532ft 17:35 / mi
spiked:16/18c shoes: Scott ERide Grip
"Night O" I did all but the last point without my headlamp since it was still daylight. Was a little tired at the beginning. Started feeling better later. Made one mistake and had trouble with one correctly placed CP, clue: Hillside. Was not super happy with my CP order but don't think I could have done too much better.
Spent about 30 minutes looking for one of the 3 misplaced points on this section. Enjoy my GPS track. The point was supposed to be in the reentrant feeding east near the dirt road. Instead it was in the reentrant feeding south. I probably should have checked this reentrant earlier when I realized it wasn't plotted right but I can't promise I will find misplotted points.
