Orienteering race 24:35 [5] 2.15 km (11:26 / km) +75m 9:44 / km
West Point A Meet Sprint on the Orange/Brown/Green course. I was doing fine until I misread the map and took off in the direction of the cadet barracks then I had to run across their parade field. I noticed later there was a sign saying keep off the grass. Sorry about that! That cost me about 4 minutes plus other errors probably cost at least 2 minutes, so it should have been around 18 minutes. The race was a lot of fun and the cadets had it all organized tremendously.

West Point A meet middle distance Green-Y course. What kind of race would it be if I did not screw up one control? Trouble on control 2 so it took around 18 minutes to find. Then some minor trouble on control 4 cost about 5 minutes. Other than that it was clean by my standards. Fun terrain to run. Loved the downhill finish on the ski slope. I was feeling very fresh at the end. Near the end of the course I jumped over a log, slipped and banged my knee hard into a big and apparently sharp rock but just kept running. Then noticed it was bleeding badly when I got up to go to the car. Medic! Got patched up at the first aid station.
