Warm up for day 1 of the U.S. Individual Orienteering Championships. I felt pretty good.

shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Ran U.S. Champs, day 1. I had a good run going until about control 18, and I lost about 4 minutes from that point to the finish, mostly in the subtle, forested lava field terrain. Still, my run was decent.

Warmed up for PNWOF relay at Lava Butte.

Orienteering race (relay) 42:32 [3] *** 7.5 km (5:40 / km) +150m 5:09 / km
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Ran PNWOF relay on a team with Bill Cusworth and Dana Breseman. We won the Junior category, thanks to Bill and Dana. I almost gave up our 2nd position (overall, behind an Open category team) by making about a 4-minute mistake on control #9, making a parallel error and stopping substantially short. Eddie, Thorsten, and Jon then caught up to me, and Eddie and I had a duel to the finish that I narrowly won.

Running - Road / Track warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.67 mi (7:28 / mi)
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Brief warm-up for PNWOF sprint at COCC campus. I felt fairly good.

Orienteering race (sprint) 14:22 [4] *** 2.7 km (5:19 / km) +60m 4:47 / km
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Ran PNWOF sprint at Central Oregon Community College campus in Bend, OR. I had a few mistakes for around a minute of total lost time, but no disasters. The course was fun, although it was mostly in the forest.

Running - Road / Track warm up/down 3:00 [2] 0.4 mi (7:30 / mi)
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Very brief warm-up for the PNWOF middle distance race at Arnold Ice Cave.

Orienteering race (middle distance) 14:00 [3] *** 2.43 km (5:46 / km) +50m 5:13 / km
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

First part of middle distance race at Arnold Ice Cave. I dropped out after control 7 (I think it was #7) because I was having some heart arhythmias--skipped beats--and I didn't want to chance dropping dead on the course or something. Normally, I would have waited for skipped beats to subside, but for these factors:
1. the skipped beats persisted for several minutes.
2. I had just had an apparently viral illness with severe flu-like body aches.
3. I had been under a great deal of stress preparing for the BEAST race on Monday.
4. I hadn't been eating or sleeping well lately (largely because of being busy preparing for the BEAST race).

On the plus side, I was having a strong run when I quit, having caught Eddie Bergeron early. I had a couple of mistakes under my belt, but nothing big.

Note

After dropping out and walking for about 5-8 minutes, the skipped beats went away (or should I say, the beats came back?). From the main road, I saw Leif stopping to read his map on the way in to one of the controls.

Orienteering (shadowing / coaching) 30:00 [1] *** 2.5 mi (12:00 / mi) +50m 11:18 / mi
shoes: VJ Panthers - 1

Junior camp training at Arnold Ice Cave. We did some control picking in the most detailed area of the map, retrieving a few markers on the way back. My group did great, for yellow and orange course runners.
