Orienteering race 48:30 [3] *** 6.0 km (8:05 / km)
spiked:4/5c
Dryer Road - Green - Unofficial since I had seen the map and checked about half the controls for Dick. Even so, I seemed to flow pretty easily though the ones I hadn't seen. Had a bit of a problem at #12 - searched around a bit near some flagging that was obviously (to me now at least) not near the control. The biggest problem for me was the hills. I seemed to need to take a greater # of walking steps than normal, but then again some of the hills were steep.
I think the park and the map were well received. The park was great for the kids with the playground and the mtn biking skills course to ride around on. We had to tear the kids away when it was time to leave. The weather also helped with the turnout

Orienteering race 43:36 [4] *** 4.5 km (9:41 / km)
spiked:14/17c shoes: Mudclaw O+340
US Relay Champs - Osbornedale Park - Green Leg 3 - Adrenaline was really elevated for this event - especially after seeing who was running the 3rd leg on other teams. However, I still felt reasonably calm in the handoff area, even knowing Wyatt and Ross (among some other fast runners) were behind me. Mike and Nate ran great legs and had us in good position.
After getting the handoff from Mike it was straight into the woods and up the hill. The second leg was long which turned out to be good for me since I was not forced to make quick decisions and eased my way into the scale and the terrain. Wyatt caught me mid leg and we traded off on a couple of legs leading each other in. He separated from me on the way to #6 because my legs couldn't handle going up and over the ridge and I also had some nav. problems. I drifted too far left and down the hill before realizing my mistake. It was really the only major mistake I made and was for about 3:00 min.
Continued to run well through the spectator control (in 3rd!) but was passed by Ross and then Dylan Thies when I had a bit of a bobble on #15. Finished about 90 seconds behind Ross and 20 seconds behind Dylan, setting 'ROC Solid' in 4th. Overall I was happy with my run (ran the leg 5th fastest) and had a great time the entire weekend.
