Event: BAOC: U.S. Nationals
1 PM
Walking warm up/down 16:53 1.35 km (12:31 / km) +47m 10:39 / km
ahr:99 max:114 shoes: 2017 Inov8 ArcticClaw 300
Walk from arena to starts of the Middle at Big Basin Redwoods. Temps already warming up into the upper 70s or low 80s, sunny and DRY. I had a Vitalyte mix in my water bottle, too, but didn't want to drink it all before I started. They had some water at the start, too.
Orienteering race 1:01:00 *** 2.85 km (21:26 / km) +94m 18:23 / km
ahr:132 max:173 spiked:9/10c shoes: 2017 Inov8 ArcticClaw 300
Middle F65 brown course at Big Basin Redwoods west of Boulder Creek, CA. 1:7500 map, 5m contours. 2.0 km "beige" course 5, 125m climb stated.
Bit of a mixup with start times (so I heard) about 40 minutes before I started messed up official times (I think) for some people (no start boxes except for Open and late starters) because my splits printout has me at two minutes longer than my watch. One possibility is they fell behind checking people in and then adjusted the big start clock to catch up.
I think the orienteering was pretty straightforward, just slow in the terrain which had deep creek valleys to be crossed with not much opportunity to avoid the big climbs back out.
Only mess up was going to 5 when I hit the trail to its east and didn't positively identify where along it I was but just plunged into the woods. i was a bit too far north and corrected off the stream farther along. (D'oh!)
Third behind Janet F and Sandy for 2019 Middle Champs in F65.
