Orienteering race (Sprint) 16:26 [5] 2.7 km (6:05 / km)
shoes: Orange Sauconys
COCC Campus Sprint course. Blazing fast, really fun. My navigation was super clean.
BUT, I made a 170 second mistake on control 11, leaving the spectator control, going into a rather bland area. As soon as I started this leg, I knew my concentration was bad and I was in trouble. I took a sloppy bearing and veared right. Tried to nav off of vegetation but failed and eventually stumbled into control.
Removing just this mistake, I could have edged out Andy for 3rd place at 13:30.

Orienteering race 54:15 [4]
shoes: Orange Sauconys
Arnold Ice Cave middle distance course. With something to prove on some of my favorite terrain, I started super clean and fast. Running though the terrain felt really good.
But I blew control 6 when my mind slipped and I thought I was navigating to #5. It was a 5 minute mistake.
I recovered ok in short term, and still posted some good splits. But I lost some flow when I crossed the road into the thicker manzinita on the butterfly loop and started making more more nav errors too. One 3.5 minute error on 19 (headed for wrong out of butterfly).
In the butterfly, I was back and forth again with J. C.
