Orienteering race 28:07 [5] *** 3.37 km (8:20 / km)
spiked:10/11c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
Sprint 1 at Ratlum Mountain. A bit of laurel thrashing and searching some for a few of the controls but otherwise a decent run. Should've gotten to the trail quicker on my way to #8 and then stopped short near the circle. Nice course but more like a middle course time and navigation-wise than a sprint (but that's OK). Wet woods from earlier rain but quite tame compared to the weather at other Ratulm events. Apparently George had all the wildlife accompanying him on his course, so no sightings (other than George a few times).

Sprint 3 (of 2) at Ratlum Mtn. Not as good a run as Sprint 1. Cut in too early for #1, took a bad route to #7 (went north to the bigger trail and had to cut across), and went brain dead for #11. Could've been two minutes faster. Missed having fastest total time (for males) by about 25 sec, which saved me from getting to wear a laurel wreath and have my picture taken. :-)
