Event: OLOU German Ridge

orienteering race 1:14:06 [4] *** 5.6 km (13:14 / km) +250m 10:49 / km
17c weight:161lbs shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

OLOU German Ridge red course. DanOLOU beat me by two minutes and David_Waller by one. Steep area with a lot of deadfall and greenbriar.

I couldn't get over the eerie feeling of having travelled through time, though, as I re-learnt how to use a manual punch card!

By the time I climbed the monster hill to number 14, I was really feeling the early spring heat and the dehydration (no drinking weater on the course). As I approached 14, a runner leaving it actually asked me if I needed water. Was I so far gone that I had actually been chanting "agua fria, agua fria" out loud instead of just thinking it as I staggered up the hill? Anyway, I respectfully declined, which probably didn't do anything to help my mental acuity as I proceeded to make a small mistake approaching 15. Other than that and some small bobbles on 1 and 10, it was really a pretty clean run.

Red - Splits

Event: OCIN / TROL Mounds State Recreation Area

orienteering 15:00 [1] * 1.35 km (11:07 / km)
8c

course setting, placed a control and a water stop, visited a few other controls to check on them. One control bag in a small depression was floating in about half a meter of water, so I generously waded in, pulled out the stand, and placed it on the edge of the depression above the waterline. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that 2 other controls deeper in the woods were equally flooded, so competitors would still have a wet day ahead.

trail running 40:00 [2] ** 3.5 km (11:26 / km)
7c

Control pickup at Mounds SRA. Mix of terrain and trail running.
