Run warm up/down 7:00 [1]
shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
Trivial warmup.
Orienteering race 1:30:13 *** 11.8 km (7:39 / km) +425m 6:29 / km
23c shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
QOC Blue Long. A much better course, although still uninspiring.
I think you could have set a good middle on a small portion of this map. And then maybe had some terrain left over to do the long. I am not sure how you salvage yesterday's area. I presume there was not enough around the edges to do a long? Because otherwise, it is really only local event quality.
Anyway, I was rather disappointed in my performance here. Not sure what was going on, but it was an unpleasant surprise.

Note
Unlike some of my peers, I really did enjoy the weekend. True, the courses and terrain did not compare to the QOC US Champs. But, they were certainly pleasant and not wrong.
And, everything else about the weekend was superlative. I cannot find fault with anything. Including the prices.

Run warm up/down 15:00 [1]
shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
Easy warmup. Felt a lot better than yesterday.
Orienteering race 36:46 [3] ** 5.3 km (6:56 / km) +215m 5:46 / km
shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
QOC Blue "Middle."
Truly, one of the easiest "middles" I have ever done. It got the physical parameters right, but the technical aspects were unfortunately lacking.
My performance was OK. A little wobbly in places, but no big mistakes.

QOC Sprint 2. Tried to run a bit, but was pretty dead. Deliberately jogged most of it.

Note
Over a single long weekend, USOF announced two A+ new hires. Pretty darn impressive and very encouraging. I have very little to complain about (save my one lingering issue.) Oh, well a 21st century website would be nice.
Run 1:30:30 11.36 mi (7:58 / mi)
shoes: February 2008 Asics
I really need to do a better job labeling my shoes because I have no idea which are which. It seemed like a good idea to name them by brand and date, but not when you never throw away shoes.
Decent run, but rather cold. I also developed a blister on my right arch.
Ran out at a pretty good clip (turned around in 42:30) and then took it easy back, especially from our turn-around bridge.
