Event: OCIN Flying Pig XXII
 

Flying Pig, Day 1. Kind of a funky race; the venue today was a sculpture park consisting of a hilly network of open lawns with big art installations and a few roads and buildings, surrounded by forest of different varieties. The first five controls took us through some very janky medium green hillsides, while the rest was fairly straightforward, skirting around and through the developed areas. I had a pretty good race, just a few small route choice inefficiencies, and got the Bonesaw by ~1.5 minutes, but was crushed by Gswede once again. I'm at the point where I expect to be ~15% behind Greg even on a good day; I think the only other NA orienteers that have reached this status in my mind are WillC and Damian. But Greg is our Champion!

Score-O @ Point Defiance Park. I was a bit late arriving and so was a little scrambled in the planning phase and probably didn't make the best plan. Also spent probably five bonus minutes searching for 142 which tucked into a small depression in the flat green. There were three or four off-trail control locations where the map was fuzzy at best, so you always just have to take those with a grain of salt and accept that finding the flag can be as much about luck as skill. Legs feeling sluggish but did at least manage to clear the course with 5min to spare. Lovely day out, and I saw an elephant while orienteering!
