Event: OLOU Sprint #14
 

Left calf continues to heal up and is stronger every time out. It felt good tonight. My best leg was 4 to 5. AP showed time lost to contol 10 and 11. On control 10, I was at the right tree just did not see the control the first time around. On control 11, stopped at the wrong tree. Being the first one out I noticed I was beating down alot of the brush getting back to the control. When I was picking up some of the controls, there was an elephant trail to them.

Navigation has improved to where, my conditioning is now the big drag on time.

Walked the sprint course at Cox Park. There's just no substitute for visiting all the control locations for a meet. One of the places I wanted to place a control had a Yellow Jacket nest you had to step over to get to the control location. I was also able to greatly minimize the amount of poison ivy you had to cross, very little now. Park was very crowded!

The great weather had gotten me in the mood to do an Orienteering Race on Saturday before the heat returns. The closest I could find on Attackpoint was in MI. So I looked at OCIN's website cause I thought maybe Mike had listed a meet somewhere in Ohio. Saw the meet in Oxford, a quick posting on Facebook - OLOU yielded 3 for the trip, but Laurie had to back out. Oxford is a 2 hr trip but it was much better than MI.

OCIN Campus Sprint at Miami U at Oxford. Was able to keep map contact the whole time. The map was a jewel. Enjoyed the course, well laid out. Matt had posted results already so it confirmed what I thought no time lost.

This was the second course at Miami U. Part was on the campus then it plunged to a large creek with a couple of wet foot crossings for me. I kept map contact except for 3 to 4. I don't know what happened there. I was on the campus and don't know why I had any problem at all. Alot of this course was in the forest. Ran well but was tiring after the hill climb back up the hill.

Per the AP analysis I did lose over 3 min of time. Almost all on 3 to 4. Also lost a few seconds on 9 to 10. I never saw a trail and ran through the woods on a bearing came out right at a dam. Must have been a trail. On 14 to finish it also shows me losing a few seconds must have been the route choice on that.
