Bike (mtn.) 58:00 [3] 12.0 mi (4:50 / mi)
CLC to 2 loops + 1 annex around the savanna & back. Nice warmish evening. FP gate was locked on my return so I know about when they do it so I'll not be able to drive there until spring.

Note
All in all, a great weekend hosted by MNOC. The terrain, courses & competition (along with the associated cookout, barracks, gaming, socializing) made this as good as any A-meet I've been to.
Thanks all !!
Thanks all !!
Orienteer race (long) 1:24:30 [4] ***** 8.0 km (10:34 / km)
shoes: ORoc 10
MNOC Camp Ripley - Long
Excellent long course through some of the finest US terrain. Wow!! How lucky I've been with my o-pportunities this year.
I planned & executed very well, except when I didn't. There is a lot of good to take away from this race so I am doing that and not going to over-analyze my mental errors. They were different than the specific technical flaws in last week's USC races.

Orienteer race (sprint) 16:34 [5] **** 2.0 km (8:17 / km)
shoes: ORoc 10
MNOC Camp Ripley - Sprint
Welcome change from urban sprints, good fun and got me warmed-up for the middle race. Small mistake on the parallel error to 2 and then a hesitation to 10 as I was concerned I'd made a parallel error going between the wrong two marshes. I hadn't but I wanted to make sure. Got a bit tired and walked up some hills. *sigh*

Orienteer race (middle) 37:25 [4] ***** 3.8 km (9:51 / km)
shoes: ORoc 10
MNOC Camp Ripley - Middle
Another fine course full of short legs through some good technical areas. It's like this glacial terrain actively changes shape as I move through it in an insidious effort to confuse me. I had good map contact and ok routes but did drift left on 10 and stayed too high on 12 in addition to a fair number of hesitations. None of this bothered me though as I truly enjoyed my run through the wonderful woods.

Warmup/down on the road around the races.
Orienteer race (night) 42:00 [3] **** 3.5 km (12:00 / km)
shoes: ORoc 10
MNOC Camp Ripley - Night Score-O
Thanks to Ian for loaning me a light so I could at least attempt this race. Muddled my way through the north side of the map as well as a few on the south side. I think night nav is great practice and I wish I could do more of it. It certainly requires some technique adjustments.
