Green X Sprint - my best performance of the weekend.
Stayed focused on the map and where I wanted to go. Made one mistake coming off #11 and around the wrong building. Luckily it was to my #13 so I corrected quickly. It cost me about 45 seconds but got me the fastest time back to #13.
Really fun race.
I was hoping for better than 22nd place but with over 80 racers I feel good about where I ended up.
Other than the one mistake, I could have only improved by being in better shape. I did virtually no conditioning for the 3 months leading up to this :(

Sprint - Green X - Splits

I went into this hoping to redeem my run on the middle event. That disappeared after I found myself near my #4 control while I was still searching for #2. I also botched #3. I will have to look at RG but I think I left #2 two times in the complete opposite direction.
There were some high points as I began to just focus on my navigation after that as did a really long leg without loosing map contact.
Coming up on the go control confused me for a few seconds. I was not expecting to see all the finish area so close. In front of everyone cheering (not at me) I stopped dead and looked around - confused by the finish - looked at my map - and confirmed that the control should be behind that clump of trees - ok and a 9 second walk to finish :)

Event: North American Orienteering Championships 2016
 

Added Route Gadget for Middle event - watch me run right over control 8 twice before looping back and getting it the third time.. what in the world?!

M50 Green-X
some really good legs and a few horrible legs... like #7-8 which was so short the two control circles were clipped as the overlapped - but it took me nearly 14 minutes to get it :(
Patty had an interesting story on her course. Twice she came across a map in the woods that said "You are Here" How great is that? I could have used that a few times today.
Looking for a better outcome tomorrow.
