orienteering 3:00:00 [1] ***
weight:156lbs

East Fork - checking control locations. about 6 hours in the woods total.

High point of the day was seeing a mostly albino deer. Mostly brown head and a couple brown patches on side, but otherwise almost all white. Cool. I hope lots of Flying Pig competitors will get to see the "Ghost Deer".

Event: OCIN - Hueston Woods

orienteering race 1:21:34 [5] *** 7.5 km (10:53 / km) +285m 9:08 / km
17c weight:156lbs shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes

Hueston Woods. Published course length was 7.2 km, but that included connection lines going straight across uncrossable lake & out-of-bounds river. Lines adjusted to shortest allowable route bumped the length up to 7.5 km. Disappointed not to hit 10 min / km. Seemed like there was enough road running and I was working really hard the whole time, that it should have been quicker. Won the coures handily, didn't make any really big navigation mistakes, although I drifted quite a bit off my intended line on 10-11 and 11-12, which might have cost me a minute on each. Also lost up to a minute on 5 descending hill too far east and being slow to figure out that the control (foot of earth bank) was on an unmapped earthbank around the corner.

C • Psychological disadvantage? 5

walking 10:00 [1] *

control pickup. Mostly got them from the car, just had to walk to a couple. Thanks to David Waller for a fun event! I was TIRED!

orienteering 15:00 [3] ** 2.0 km (7:30 / km)
14c weight:159lbs shoes: Starter Carson 2

Union County MS. Set paper tags at each control. The kids mass-started 2 minutes behind me. It'll be more fun when they get good enough (and enough endurance) to have a real shot at catching me. Two of them are fast enough to outrun me in a short sprint, but for anything over a few hundred meters they don't have the stamina.
