Event: US Team Trials
Orienteering race 27:32 [4] *** 3.49 km (7:53 / km) +83m 7:03 / km
spiked:21/22c
Team Trials sprint, Lehigh University. This was pretty much a downhill race on sidewalks, or more specifically, a race that was back and forth on sidewalks and roads, interspersed with running down staircases. One mistake: on #11 I had noted that I just needed to go around the last building to go to the one behind it, but I wound up going around the building that the control was on. I also slowed down some in the latter part of the course. I think the item that could have improved my time the most would have been increased rate of descent on stairs, which was hampered by the fact that I had things (map, etc.) in my hands.
Hiking 45:00 [1] 1.59 mi (28:18 / mi)
With Nancy, hiking out to the HG/PG launch at Little Gap, via the new twisty rerouted AT on the way out and the old wide AT on the way back. I had decided in the morning that the weather did not look conducive to flying and left the glider at home, which turned out to be the right move, as it was blowing really hard and there was nobody there.
