Orienteering race (Green course) 2:28:28 [4] **** 9.3 km (15:58 / km) +300m 13:45 / km
spiked:8/10c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
US Long course championships at Saylor Park, CO. I felt better than yesterday (when I was still adjusting to 8500' elevation and was headache-y and hot), and wore a sleeveless top for greater cooling, plus I think it was cooler because of even higher elevation and more woods today.
Booboo on # 1 because we had 1:15000 maps (which they didn't tell us about until at the start when they handed them out) and I hadn't adjusted my thinking to 'go farther'. I checked out someone else's control before readjusting my mind. Good route choice for me to # 3, taking the long way around on the road rather than shorter, but slower?, through the woods--I had a great attack point and had no troubles.
I saw my 1st place competition coming into 3 and 5, coming out of 6, the whole way to 7 and most of the way to 8, where she left me in the dust after a steep hill climb. Then I proceeded to mess up 9 by not being careful in the detailed area of spurs and reentrants. Easy in from there. I finished 6 minutes behind 1st place (Yelena Krasnov from BAOC) and an hour ahead of Barb D., for 2nd F50 (out of 3).
In retrospect, I was ahead of Yelena at 5, but probably lost time to her on my route to 6; while I knew where I was almost the whole way on this long leg, it probably took longer execution-wise, letting her catch up to me.
It doesn't help that I bobbled 9 either. :-P

Note
I changed the color of my hike graphics bar so it's easier to pick out from the orienteering. :-)
