Orienteering 20:00 [1]
NAOC Model
So Kseniya and I got in last night at what we thought was 10pm, but the time zone changed at some point from Spokane and was actually an hour later. We were running an hour late without knowing it all morning until we get to the model and they say last bus down at noon. Ok, so I have 1.5h, nope, they say, only 1/2 hour. Right.
So a quick foray into the model terrain, starting to get a feel for the mapping. Very nice to have this opportunity actually. Noted the vagueness of vegetation, what exactly light green meant. Those were probably the most important things.

Orienteering race 38:24 [3]
NAOC Thomass event
Nice day, fun event. I got to skip 2 controls, but one of my two was a bad choice and I had to go up a bigger hill than necessary, oh well! Only really made 1 mistake, on the sprint that followed, ran way past #2. Then had a good battle with a fast older Norweigan woman for the rest of the way in. I didn't really want to push it, because I wanted fresh legs for tomorrow, but also hard not to be competitive... ended up beating her in just the final sprint. I wore just my running shoes which were not so ideal on the downhills.
