Orienteering at Mason Neck. It was muggy and hot and I was pretty sick, so I didn't really push myself on the run. It turns out I placed pretty well though, so maybe I should be sick more often (JUST KIDDING IT SUCKS.)

There were a lot of bingo-type controls, because the area was so vague, so it was pretty hit or miss. I guess I was pretty lucky, and I took good route choices, too, except for when I tried to go through a patch of dark green. That mistake cost me about 5 minutes.

Green - Splits

I have the flu or something. I'm pretty achey and gross.

Core with special guest: Mom! Only she wasn't really into it after a few exercises. Takes after her daughter, I suppose.

Played a game of tennis during 8th period with Ms. Shay, and then with Rushmie and Joseph. I call it "a game" but it was more of a "let's hit the ball back and forth and try not to miss it!" because none of us know how to play tennis except Ms. Shay.

Ran around to the park and then up to the store to buy some limes and lemons.

Ahhhh, back to regular training again. Testing is done. I'm free. I'm completely through with all my AP and IB exams YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I just did a short run around the neighborhood today. I took my Moreau Lakes map with me just as a training exercise, and I planned through every leg on the course. I have no idea if that helped my orienteering skill or not.

P.S. Sorry to Izzy B, my training buddy, for being absent this past week. I feel really horrible about not answering your comments (I just found that you had left me one from 5 days ago!) I promise to give you some more training to comment on and I'll do my job checking in with you :)
