Orienteering race (Middle distance A day) 1:25:59 [4] *** 5.01 km (17:10 / km)
spiked:11/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Green day 3 on First With The Most map (1:10000). Messed up control 2 by a lot, wandering around in other rock with other orienteers (rule #67, ignore all other orienteers in the area!) until realizing that bag #44 that I found was actually on my course, only much later (control 13). Used it to relocate.
Messed up control 10 a little (again, I let other orienteers in the area distract me), and could have used a better route choice to control 6 (I went around the west end of the darker green, not taking a chance with the sliver of light green closer to the beeline, but it worked well for others). Total time lost ~15:00...which would have put me in 4th place, F50, but I finished 6th out of 8.

Walking 1:20:00 [2] 3.5 mi (22:51 / mi)
shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
Turtle Rock trail (3 miles, circling the large rock formation) at Vedauwoo, counterclockwise this time. I think it's physically easier in this direction. The rock-pile figure we took a picture of earlier in the week was gone from the bare rock outcrop. We started earlier in the day and avoided the rain shower (and hail!) that came through around 3pm. Took a wrong turn near the end of the trail, adding 0.5mi.
