Orienteering race (Classic) 1:30:41 [4] *** 10.13 km (8:57 / km)
21c shoes: Adidas Neptune XC Spikes

Good race. I managed to avoid big mistakes but collected few what I would call between big mistakes and small mistakes.

There were couple directional mistakes again. One was 180% mistake. I love my new compass but I got to learn how to take advantage of it every time.

Few times I just totally lost contact with the map. Worst was #10 where I was pretty much standing for like 2 minutes withing 50 yards from the flag.

Other thing I noticed that I tend to get way too tentitive near the flags. I know that I am close but I am affraid to spike or something. I kind of know where the flag should be, I even look that direction and run that direction. I got to work on my confidence near the flags. During the legs I am in perfect control, few times even adjusting my original route choice to better one once I spotted something better.

Other realization is that I have been running in the same maps for almost last 10 years that that does not improve my orienteering skills. I need to look for more opportunities to race outside Rochester.

Event: CNYO A meet

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Neptune XC Spikes

Before sprint warmup

Orienteering race (Sprint) 19:39 [4] 2.48 km (7:55 / km)
14c shoes: Adidas Neptune XC Spikes

To sum up in few words - my start time sucked but regardless of the start time - I was way too tentitive entire course plus I did not even puch myself 100% otr even 90% physically.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Neptune XC Spikes

Warmup before Middle distance.

Orienteering race (Middle distance) 59:45 [4] *** 6.32 km (9:27 / km)
20c shoes: Adidas Neptune XC Spikes

I tried not to be as tentitive as I was in Sprint. There were some decent route executions. Judging from splits I had decent leg from #6 to #7. Speedwise I don't think I was running faster that particular leg but I do think what happenned was that probably most guys went straight however I lowered myself down to the creek on the left side and avoided going up and down sone steep ravines. Other fast leg was from #12 to #13 but that does nto count since I was trying to match Will's speed.

I made few directional mistakes. I do like my knew compas and I am braver executing direct route choices. Sometimes if I can't figure out obvious route choice I just take baring and start runnung based on baring and then I readjust based what I hit on my way. However it seems like with overconfidence I was sloppy on taking the right baring

Note

Rode with Mike to Cortland and back. If anyone considers sharing ride with Mike in the future you shall know that Mike has eclectic taste in music - you will hear many alternative performers and performers from 80s pop - Beasty Boys, Kate Bush, Cure, James to name a few (I did not hear James on this trip but on one of the previous trips). I enjoyed but will you?
