Note
Back from Aspen Grove. A fun weekend.
In general, I finished 50% behind the top runners. Not too shabby. Besides poor decisions on some trickier legs, I was happy with my navigation. Coming out of this, I think my greatest room for improvement is in terrain running technique.
Best result from the weekend - My left foot feels better afterward than before. Very good sign for the summer!!!

Orienteering race (Sprint) 25:00 [3]
shoes: New Balence 765 Red
Sprint race at Aspen Grove. Didn't go so well. Control three was sketchy, lost 7 minutes. Many people felt it was misplaced, but my opinion is that the map (a 1:5000 enlargment of a 1:15000 orignal) wasn't consistant in that area. It drained my enthusiams, and was hard to get moving again. Also had trouble moving through brush in running shoes.
A real shame, becuase the course was well set in a fun technical area!

Aspen Grove Middle. Chase format.
Really fun! This was definately worth the trip. I was head to head with John. We were constantly back and forth and it forced me to keep the intensity up. Had a narrow lead going into 12, but lost it on 13, when I was tricked into taking an unmapped major road through the logging.

Orienteering race 1:46:15 [4] 11.4 km (9:19 / km) +310m 8:12 / km
shoes: VJ Integrators
Sage Stomp. First O-race in 4 months. Fun!
Technically felt pretty easy, but my focus really fell off after control 7. Big error on 8. I felt pretty slow, but that's to be expected considering I haven't run more than 40 minutes solid for the last 4 months. Wish I had carried food. Leg comments on splits page.
Best news is my foot feels great! I was really worried beforehand, but it actually feels better now! Very good sign for the summer.
