Note
OCAD will not reliably generate contours or vegetation on my laptop, just a series of error boxes, even after a restart to free up ram and trying section by section and not all 14 pieces. This is not a huge area, talking 4 km^2.
Failure to update parallels for Mojave?
Some other parallels type issue?
Move OCAD to the old desktop in the basement?
Generate with kp and draft in OCAD?

32 made the swag cut off; seems likely that Nitro returns in 2020 (I was wondering about it when I was sitting at six for a long time).

How many really good orienteers does it take to navigate a yellow course to the start? Several, if you are largely off the map, and when you get on the map you are on trails that were deleted for the exercise and a decent chunk of topography is now a gravel pit.

I really enjoyed this course - I thought I didn't use my compass enough, but then I realized how much I rely on it when I've been sloppy to clean up. Huge thanks to Brenda B for being at #1 as I was about to overshoot it but noticed her bright jersey. Otherwise okay, learned that Igor was waaaaay faster over the hill down in the SW portion than I was going around.

Igor did really well, tying Kevin in the first loop. I charged aggressively to #1, going straight while Syd started on the trail. I didn't realize we had differing forks to #2, so I was surprised when it got silent. I was still ahead to #3, and was quiet to #4 when I started to hear a rustle...crap. Together to hit #5, but she spotted it on the rather green knoll and was kind to point it out to me, as I spun in circles on the knoll looking. Botched #6 by pausing at a saddle instead of recognizing the saddle - Rob and Sydney not pausing was also a clue. Saw them punch 6 but they floated up to 7 and that was the end of staying in touch. I hope I got the right #9.
Going fast for those first 6 minutes was really fun, I miss it!

Maze was super fun. Seems like a great way to reuse areas that are a bit burnt from hosting or overuse.

Single blade practice with cc on Phoenix Lake which does not have the best put in ever but is sure conveniently located very close to her office and practically driving straight off the freeway for me. Bit slower than double blade but got a little better over the session. Couldn't find a way up river, seemed a bit shallow or had trees down on our options. Fun times

Note
On one hand, looking at LiveLox, I kick myself for not balancing some things better for route choice, argh it seems so obvious now. And Green should have had a better finish than it did (maybe a little pick section in that great stuff around #10 R/G).
On the other hand, not gonna beat myself up, as it was 20% of the season! Also, design issues aside, since a three hour scout + four hang hang worked, maybe I can set more often. That is somewhat minimal time investment.

Loaded up my first splits to AP. Would have been simple had all of the boxes been sync'd. Instead I slowly figured out how to take out the ~19 odd hour error (lots of paste special; subtract and then fight with Excel's formatting to get them back to CSV (involving find/replace of :00:00 with :01:00 and find/replace of :00 with ""). Hopefully they are close enough for now.
Not entirely sure what went wrong with #8? on April Fools O but too late of an hour to worry about it now.

Note
So Excel can actually do math on the times, but Numbers, which can't, doesn't add :00 all over the place (at least by Excel's default, could be operator error on my behalf as well). Trade offs!
Also I can't figure out how to delete the incorrect April Fool's now - it seems there must be a time limit on deletion?

Fun time but lousy performance. Biggest factor was zero oomph, get your bearings took more out of me than I thought. Walked way too much...just not much to push a shuffle.
Due to departure constraints, I chose the drop to Green option, unfortunate as I would have caught the cp problem and helped fix.
Things to work on:
Not being sloppy (winging it)
Not getting pushed around by veg
It’s almost comical how bad I am right now, I want my sharpness and precision back!

Super fun GYB at Proud Lake w/ Cris.
Open was a killer, navigationally not too crazy and not huge route choice, so I tried to press hard to #1 to avoid being stuck in queue, yet somehow ended up in a short one at 2, all of those people were so fast. Then really fine the rest of the way, never more than 1-2 at any location.
I hoped to do the six mile trek in 90 minutes - we were right on, thanks to frequent pulls where I'd grab Cris's pack. I think the faster folks were closer to 70 ish, curious to see splits. Lots of nice spots!
Paddle went well, once I got us unstuck at the launch, haha. River was totally fine for paddling, just a bit higher than normal.
The real crux of the race - the bike o. Any order, but with a few caveats - one way trails had to be done the right way, and only cross tracks at the two trail crossings of the tracks.
We did Loop 1 mostly as loop cut, although bike whacked 20 across. I was more pro bike whacking than Cris, which is not entirely unexpected as she is a super biker and I am not.
We then took a shortcut to 23 that Cooper and I discussed pre race - I thought it would be a bike whack again, but as I jumped off my bike I yelled at Cris to stay on hers as there was a small trail. We cut across the clearing to 23 as I saw the distinct tree early - it was distinct! We cut to the next segment of trail but...
Dark zone! We had to wait for a train to cross, but it sort of worked out as I overshot the tiny trail that crossed it, so we had time to sort that until we could cross. Saw Richard and Caroline? at 24, but they probably had the southern points or something. We continued on, took some not great two track to the fine two track. plunged into safely-the-correct-way single track from 25-26, then jumped on the Kensington-Proud Lake connector, one of my favorite trails (it's just a nice trail through the woods) to grab Old Plank Road up to Garden to grab 27 using the very edge of the map.
Gas line short cut back into the park, then bike whack to the shelter, good for 2nd coed to Richard and friend, 3rd in two person coed, around 6th overall, surprisingly just 28 mins back on the super fit overall winners, not too shabby for not being in the best shape.
Really enjoyed the race!

Met Cris at Newburgh Lake to bust some rust prior to Saturday.
There is extensively flooding up and downstream, so we were ready to call it if anything looked sketchy, but it was fine on this impoundment.
