Orienteering race 1:24:55 [3] *** 9.47 km (8:58 / km) +427m 7:19 / km
spiked:10/13c shoes: X-Talon 212
GNC Red, Day 2 6.6 km
A day of happiness punctuated by a mental pause. I was expecting rougher terrain but with a few exceptions found it no better or worse than day 1. Ran ok through C4 except for the difficulties of running into the sun, skipped the very short easy leg to C5 and realized it at C6 after the worst of the green bar rubbish of the day. This was very irritating with the only perk being my absolutely certainty that I had missed C5. So, I took off back easily getting to 5, where I met Mike (he started 8 min after me). Then, I turned it around and repeated C6, hopping through the slash, but sloppily overcompensated between the parallel error possibilities and ending up one reentrant over. Took a longish breath, reset my head, and then had a decent race afterwards. In looking at route choices, I made route choices very similar to Spike except two small differences for C10 and 12. Without these two linked errors totalling 15+ min, my pace was fine and I even felt quick at some points. In the end, even with this bad run I had my best GNC yet.

Orienteering 20:00 [1] 0.8 km (25:00 / km)
shoes: Saucony protread wide
went to checkout the first 3 controls on the practice map.
The frosty oak leaves were very slippery. Luckily, by the start time, a few extra degrees of warmth remedied the problem.

Orienteering race 1:06:50 [3] *** 8.16 km (8:11 / km) +249m 7:06 / km
spiked:11/14c shoes: X-Talon 212
GNC Red 7.0, 200 m
Decent run. We went to the practice area for 3 controls first and so were a bit rushed at the start; I arrived just moments before missing callup so some better planning is needed on my part tomorrow.
It took about 3 controls to settle in. A bit ragged to C1; tentative toward the end of the 2nd leg; and then took a pretty direct approach to C3 which was a dubious choice through the spaced green bars (learned to avoid but not fear them). Chose not to run trail from 9-10 which was good running but probably wrong. A few of the hills felt too tiring; I need a plan for this too but implementing it tomorrow is out.
From map review, the green course was clearly harder.
