Running warm up/down 35:00 [2]
W/U + C/D time for both the morning Middle race and the afternoon Sprint race.
Orienteering race 44:04 [4]
Nav-Stock Middle Distance
Took a bit to get into orienteering again; I think the last time on a map was the Hard Rock back in early May. Sudden caught me up by #3 and then I really focussed as I watched him take off in alternative direction with every control thereafter. Everytime I thought he was gone, he'd be there at the next control punching or he'd appear from behind me just as I punched. ...must have been doing something right. Finished 3rd behind Hans and the Duke.
Orienteering race 15:59 [5]
Nav-Stock Sprint Distance
A solid first few controls and I was pleased (I hate sprint, for my lack of top end speed). Caught up to Natasha (1 minute earlier start time) on the way to 4; as I passed her on the inside of a trail corner, I did not notice the intersection we were infact passing through (the one I needed as my attackpoint). I hauled ass down the trail for close to 30sec, before realizing that this was WAYYY too far to be travelling before the intersection I was looking for. An obivous catching feature put me right and turned me back. However, 30sec out and 30sec back does not a good sprint result make... a decent remainder of the run, finishing about 1min back of the top 4. ...damn!
