Event: Flying Pig XIV - U S Interscholastic Championship

1 PM

Orienteering 22:12 [2] *** 1.96 km (11:20 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)

A tour around the model area on the South side. Checking out the vegetation and wetness underfoot.

Orienteering race 35:45 [4] *** 4.05 km (8:49 / km) +145m 7:29 / km
spiked:9/10c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)

Flying Pig, Middle Distance on Turkey Ridge (South side of East Fork SP). OK run. Lost 2 minutes on #4, a 100m leg - got off bearing due to low visibility in green stuff. Some other small time losses. 6th in M55 and 6th overall on Green (pretty competitive M55 group!) 3:40 behind first (Bill Pullman). Quite a bit of multiflora rose resulting in lots of leg scratches. Weather a bit on the warm side (60's) and sunny. Straightline distance 3.5km.

Friday Middle 8-Green - Splits

Tuesday Apr 6, 2010 #

6 PM

Road Run 36:26 [3] 4.17 mi (8:44 / mi)
shoes: NB878 - #9

Around the "south block". 60's, overcast, started to sprinkle as I was cooling down.

Sunday Apr 4, 2010 #

1 PM

Field Checking 59:48 [2] *** 2.46 km (24:19 / km)
shoes: NB 874

At Moreau with the contours only map. Walk (and climb) to one of the potential start sites at Janet's pace. Time includes some wandering around checking features to confirm location. Actual time about 40 minutes. 1.5km, 200m climb - if you want to get to the good stuff, you have to work for it. :-)

2 PM

Orienteering (Test Run) 1:19:57 [3] **** 5.6 km (14:16 / km)
shoes: NB 874

A test run at Moreau with 8 control points. Did OK in areas I had been to. Challenging to try to move with any speed in areas I hadn't been to, especially with only a small fraction of the rock features mapped. "Mispunched" on one control - things pretty much matched in the vicinity of the "control" but didn't on the subsequent leg. Visibility and runnability quite good. Rugged terrain. There are lots of opportunities for parallel errors. A bit warm with temps in the 70's but too early for bugs.

4 PM

Field Checking 1:18:37 [1] *** 3.24 km (24:15 / km)
shoes: NB 874

Exploring the SW portion of the area and hiking back to the car. Had my distance contact swept out by a branch so things were a bit blurry for the last 15 or 20 minutes.

Event: WCOC - Stratton Brook SP

10 AM

Orienteering race 17:23 [5] *** 2.48 km (7:01 / km)
spiked:14/16c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)

"Fox" sprint at Stratton Brook. Lost about 1:30 on #10 drifting off into the green to the north. Not clean on 11, hit the others pretty well. A bit warm running with temperature in the 70's but quite nice for standing around. Straightline distance 2.2km.

Orienteering race 14:18 [5] *** 2.09 km (6:50 / km)
spiked:15/15c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)

"Hounds" sprint at Stratton Brook. Clean on most of them. Probably lost 5 - 10 sec each on #7 and #9. Straightline distance 1.9km.

Orienteering race 42:41 [3] *** 5.13 km (8:19 / km)
spiked:30/30c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)

Score-O at Stratton Brook using controls from the sprints plus some additional ones set a bit farther out. Half of the controls had red circles and half had green. The objective was to alternate colors as you visited controls, which forced the concentration to a higher level than a simple score-o. Tried to keep moving at a moderate pace and hit them all pretty well. Route OK but not optimum with probably about 800m of extra distance.
