Event: West Point National Meet
10 AM
Orienteering 42:45 *** 4.34 km (9:50 / km) +216m 7:53 / km
ahr:148 max:168 spiked:9/11c shoes: Jalas - sz 10
Middle distance at West Point National Meet. 3.7k SL, 135m advertised climb. Deep Hollow map which is typical WP - somewhat minimally mapped. Control hanging was also typical WP, with all controls in the circle but not necessarily on the mapped feature at the center. Course was also typical WP using unimaginative legs to straightforward features but with lots of climb.
An OK run after the first two controls where I lost about 1:30 on each. Distracted on the way to 1 by Bob Turbyfill yelling across the woods asking what course I was on (what an a-hole - you'd think someone with his experience would know not to disturb competitors on a course, even if he was trying to correct a screw-up (which didn't affect my course) and effectively adding to the unfairness already affecting Brown runners). I can't fully attribute the error on 1 to the distraction. On 2 I think I came in at the right level but the bag was hung on a higher, possibly unmapped cliff so I spent a little time looking down then up the spur. The rest of the course was OK but AP says I lost some time at 4, maybe because I didn't see the crossing point and waded the stream. 3rd M60, 10th overall on Green X.

Sprint at WP National Meet on Camp Natural Bridge map. 2.5k SL, 58m climb. Lost about 3 minutes on number 4 as I lost contact as I came into the obstacle course area and then ran around trying to figure things out. Finally relocated on control 7, having passed right by the control I was looking for. One other minor (relatively) error on 16 as I checked another bag. A fun sprint doing a good job using the terrain. 5th in M60, 19th overall on Green.
