Orienteering race (Middle) 1:08:15 *** 4.8 km (14:12 / km) +34m 13:43 / km
ahr:132 max:160 spiked:7/11c shoes: 2022 VJ Falcon 6.5. GA
Orienteering in Montana! New O state. ;-)
PNWOF day 1, Brown middle course, 3.1 km, 70m climb, at Lubrecht Experimental Forest off Rt 200 between Bonner and Greenough, MT Temps were in the low 50s at start and upper 50s later, with intermittent light showers throughout the day.
Subtle terrain in many parts of our course made for a good navigational challenge. I'd say I finally got "into" the map by, say, control #4. ;-)
My outing today was a comedy of errors at the start, and a rescue mission between #8 and 9, with some good navigation here and here. Course was a mix of short and slightly longer legs. Lots of trails exist but were crossed rather than followed to gain speed, except to the last control.
#1 Got to the start triangle and then proceeded to head due east instead of due west. I hadn't taken the time to double-check my heading leaving the start, at the start triangle, or on the way east when I should have been going west. When I got to a control in a depression that wasn't mine (#220), and hadn't yet hit a fence crossing, I knew something was wrong, figured it out, and headed back in the opposite direction, still confused by the multitude of trails from the triangle. 10:27; 7+ minutes lost.
#2 Crossed the trail, went around the S end of the earth bank, and was still a bit N of the elongated depression before the control but knew which way to look. 3:48
#3 Due S, but I drifted right to check out another flag... 2:46; 20s
#4 Good, catching up to competitors. 3:20
#5 First one of the pack to the flag. 2:33
#6 Ran NE on trail but never confirmed where I left it, and wandered in reentrants and depressions before relocating on a E-W trail, and in. 11:14; lost several minutes here
#7 Straight shot. 1:50
#8 NE toward the open area which I hit; went off the "middle" of the northern edge to try to line up my approach to the depression due N. 3:56
#9 Stayed in the western-headed reentrant until I was just about to turn left to find the depression, when I saw an older man on his knees struggling to stand up, off to my right. It wasn't a competitor but he was out collecting mushrooms and had lost his balance and was having trouble standing, so I did what I had to do and went to see if he needed help. Quickly figured it was Boris's dad Eugene (though it took me until when I was changing afterwards to remember his name), helped him stand and get his balance, and then supported one side while he used his cane on the other to get him back to the Start area which we weren't *too* far from. Once I knew he'd get assistance there I went back to #9, passing control #220--again--on the way and having a laugh (it was one depression west of our 9, #43), and continued on the rest of the course. 16:11; probably dropped ~13 minutes or more on the detour.
#10 Followed the beeline the best I could through the thicker vegetation till I got close and could read the spur and green blobs. 7:08
#11 Out to trail, run to the junction, say hi to Clint taking photos, and in. I think I forgot to take a split.
F - trying to avoid the logs, sticks and downfall in the finish chute(!). 5:08
Total on my watch 1:08:15, 4.81 km.

Walking warm up/down 7:07 0.56 km (12:42 / km)
ahr:94 max:104 shoes: 2022 VJ Falcon 6.5. GA
To start of courses at Mt Norwottuck. Phil B had set courses there to cap off a training weekend (mostly held at Mt Tom and led by Greg A). Starting to get warm but still comfortable (high of 88 later in the day).
We'd been to Albany NY the day before to visit younger offspring Rob and his wife to celebrate Rob's birthday, since we hadn't seen them since his last birthday. :-/ We had a very nice visit at dinner and then afterwards sitting outside back at their house.

Orienteering race (Brown) 1:09:46 *** 3.57 km (19:32 / km) +104m 17:03 / km
ahr:123 max:150 slept:6.0 shoes: 2022 VJ Falcon 6.5. GA
Failed attempt at the Brown course (3.6km, 170m climb). I visited two controls but had problems on them both, then couldn't find #3 (map is only partly to blame). Bailed out to a trail where it took a while to figure out where I was, then gave up and headed on in. Head was definitely not in it today, (and it was hot and buggy)
