Orienteering Meet race 1:13:56 [5] *** 5.5 km (13:27 / km) +220m 11:12 / km
spiked:8/12c
Moreau Lake St Park... Short drive from hotel and at the lake was one of the best shows of color in the trees I have seen in quite a while. The map and teraine was great. The courses challanging as should be for a US Champs. I hit the first 2 well and had a long route to No.3, drifted a bit to the north and helped out some others. Than I hit the control. No. 5 was a disaster as I drifted to the east in marshs that were not on my course. This was about a 6-7 ,minute mistake. The final few controls were fine but I wasted another minute on the go control as I could find the trail to it.
Great day and even though I finished in the middle of the pack I had a blast. lots of friends out and around orienteering, which makes it different than being over seas.
