Orienteering (Short Course (Blue)) 1:20:00 [3]
My adventure to C1 is too embarrasing to describe so I wont. C2 was basically a disaster taking more than 16mins ( over ran the control all the way to the river...yup. I'm still amazed I was able to relocate and find the control ). Pretty smooth but slow to C9 were I ended up heading to far right and over running. Then ok until C15 where I decided pricker bushes made for a much better route choice than the trail.
Pretty rough day for me. I think I was moving at around 14mins per kilometer. Not so hot. I tried my best not to get too discouraged.

Ran to try and catch Erin's start after my race. I missed her by 4 min. Then ran back the finish to catch that.

Trail Running warm up/down 5:00 [2]
Orienteering 20:19 [4]
Yes, a "4". Fact is I simply can't navigate well enough to run at a "5" level.
The sprint was fun. I spen 27 secs on the first control because I couldn't find the start triangle. However I think this had more to do with inexperience rather than thin, miss-colored lines. I also started off very slowly, nervous and slightly disoriented until C3. Then I started gaining some confidence and got more of a feel for things. I was as smooth as I can be on most controls after C3, hesitating a bit at the begining of C9 (trying to find best route choice) and making a really silly decision on C10 (bush wacked rather than just following trail in - ended up over running). On C11 I ran the path out around the large area of trees (to the North) and then headed back South, accross the field to the back of the building. Another poor route choice but my split actually didn't suffer quite so much do to it being all open running.
Like I said, it was fun. If orienteering ever becomes a sport that I can be competetive in, I don't think Sprints will be my race. I'd like to think I've got above average leg speed but I think the longer the race the more enjoyment I would have.

Stretching 10:00 [1]
Road Running 40:00 [3]
Run in Concord on road and trails. Wet and snowy on the trails but still fun to get off the roads. I wore shorts and was warm enough. Spring might actually be coming.

Orienteering race 1:56:00 [3] **** 9.0 km (12:53 / km)
24c
A long Red course. Map had no trails on it. Which is pretty common in AR (finding trails that aren't on the map).
Went pretty well I think. It was good experience for me. I learn new things everytime I get out. Over ran one control pretty badly trying to avoid walls of pricker bushes. On the last control I was in the right spot but kept running around in cricles looking for it. Oh well. I had a lot of fun overall.
