Badger A-meet WI. Warmup with a couple of jogs over to the campground for the bathroom and the run to the start. Had plenty of time to stretch and make O-suit repairs when the starts were delayed by an hour because of missing controls.
Went to bed last night at 1am after packing. Up at 3 to get the airport. Other hour of sleep was on the plane.

Badger A-meet. Devils Lake SP. WI. Red course. Came to WI so I could go square dancing with my nationals partner who lives in Milwaukee. Would have gone to the goat otherwise or if had been scheduled sooner.
Expected to see flat terrain with lots of small contours and depressions. Instead it looked more like French Creek or West Point with rocks and lots of climb. Not my best orienteering. Ran well for my lack of training and recovered quickly but was always a litttle off. Add in a couple of stupid mistakes and my time is pretty bad. The spiked control percentage says it all. Still, a small field and I am in 3rd in M45 and not out of contention.
