Orienteering race 59:01 [4] *** 5.5 km (10:44 / km) +235m 8:50 / km
spiked:7/9c
Chasing the Star DVOA meet, "long" course, green y
Surprising amount of trail and road running so the controls weren't that difficult. Lost a minute at 5, looking for the pit in the rocky ground to the east. Lost another 1/2 minute or so going a little low at 6. Lost another 1/2 minute going to 9, veered a bit west although that may have been fine because it avoided the green. Garmin says 6.32.

Orienteering race 45:33 [3] 3.3 km (13:48 / km) +135m 11:28 / km
Chasing the Star DVOA A meet, middle distance, green y
Very nice, challenging course set by Sandy. Lost 3 minutes on 1, probably 1 minute each on 2 and 3, and then another minute on 12 with a too careful route choice to the stone wall. Even with the mistakes, I was pretty happy. I could have been so much worse in the subtle, green terrain. Garmin says 3.98.

Event: US Team Trials
Orienteering race 24:22 [3] 2.54 km (9:36 / km) +55m 8:39 / km
Chasing the Star DVOA A meet, sprint course, BrGrOr
Really fun course. It's so rare to do an urban course. Didn't make significant mistakes but went more slowly than I normally would on a sprint (especially a downhill road sprint) because it seemed like it would be very easy to lose time if I lost contact.

Hashing 1:00:00 [3] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Set by Joe around Saugutuck Reservoir. He set the trails too close together so a bunch of us accidentally shortcut a good bit.
