This course felt way better than yesterday's! I actually knew where I was the entire time, and the hills were (for the most part) fun, rather than a punishment. It was beautiful and open and the running was nice and you could see for miles on top of the hills--so overall it was an excellent day to be orienteering! I made some lousy route choices in the beginning, like on my route to number 2, but overall I think I did okay. I ran hard and stayed in contact with the map. I didn't do super well, but my time was in the middle there with everyone else. I think it wasn't my navigation that had to improve here, but instead my speed on the hills and running on the flat.

Long red - Splits

First day of Team Trials. This was a really hilly and technical course, and I was totally lost on controls 1-5. First I spent an enormous amount of time looking for number 1, which was supposed to be on a cliff somewhere but didn't really seem to be where it was supposed to. I eventually found it but then wound up making a bad route choice to control two, and so got lost again. This process basically repeated itself until number 5. After number 6 I started to make more sensible route choices out to the next controls and the map started to make sense, but I never really ran at speed or felt very sure. It was just really hard. And those hills didn't help, either!

Middle Red - Splits

Throwing, endzone drill, and then ho-stack scrimmage. I definitely got the flow of the stack better this time around and was able to actually be productive on the field.

Cardio, thigh and butt workout, and then abs.

core before bed!
