Well executed, I'm pretty happy with how I did. My compass to 9 was pretty bad and I lost a bit of time trying to readjust, but other than that things were good.

8c shoes: Inov-8 OROC 280
Took me a while to get used to the 1:15000 scale. My route to number 2 seems to be all over the place, but once I saw the spur there wasn't too much trouble following it. It was quite a long spur though. 3-4-5-6-7 went splendidly. The scale managed to throw me off again on the way to eight, I was staying on the compass and it looks like my plan was working better than I expected, but then I think I saw a control from the second exercise today and went for the bait. I was so close too.
Control Count: 174 Controls!

Lots of pink ribbons and weird trails on the way to four, totally screwed with me, ended up way northeast of the control, I think the exact same thing happened to Michael too.

16c shoes: Inov-8 OROC 280
My first Kroki, what a fun experience! For those unfamiliar, a Kroki exercise includes getting a map, and drawing your own simplified version of the map and using your hand-drawn map in the actual run. We did a bit of a different version, where we were given four different mini maps with little intervals instead of a full map, but it was still pretty good. What a way to...learn about yourself? Doubt your drawing ability? No idea, it worked out though. A lack in clarity in my drawing ability made me miss three altogether, so that was a bit awkward. Ten became a bit of a mistake too, I forgot to put in the first of the two reentrants, I only put in the one the control was in, so thank goodness that trail was there to help me relocate. Everything else went surprisingly fine.
Orienteering (Control Pick) 56:09 [3] *** 5.78 km (9:43 / km) +91m 9:00 / km
23c shoes: Inov-8 OROC 280
What a detailed map. This was probably one of the most difficult maps of the camp, when you went into those high-detail, rocky areas everything went slower, or else. For this one, I'll take a more detailed look at everything that went wrong and right. Really, anything that comes into mind as I look through the map.
1 and 2 went wonderfully, but number 3 was a bit of a weird one. Going into that area, I knew I had to slow it down, but as you can see I still didn't get all the way to the control. Which doesn't matter, I learned later the control was in the wrong place so I wouldn't have found it anyway. Not finding 3 made 4 a lot harder, so after dancing around near the stream for a while, I stumbled upon it while roaming through the woods looking through the cliff. Number 5 was going to be my redeemer, but I hit the rock knoll at the edge of the circle and thought I was in the right spot, but of course, I wasn't. Go figure.
Number 6, back on track, dropped down to the trail (question is, which one, there were three unmapped biker trails, two of which I crossed in a state of 'I'm not doing well enough on my own, don't make it worse'. Found the giant cliffs, navigated the rocks, nailed it. Finally, something. I hit a good streak from then on, nailed 7 (it was kinda easy), and 8 wasn't that bad when I realized all I had to do was cross the rocky saddle on top of the hill. Nine was a case of changing plans halfway through, but I'm actually okay with it. What would have been better is if I either risked the direct path from the stream (remember, my brain was still rattled and in a state of disarray), or just headed down the reentrant to the trail immediately and taken a quicker route to that reentrant. From there on it was easy getting to the control. 10 went superbly, and 11 was a good plan, but I didn't follow the reentrant up high enough. I thought it ended, didn't realize it didn't. 12, 13, easy. 14, had to do a little extra searching but fine.
15. Oh boy. Let's talk about the plan first. Past 11, onto the spur next to the reentrant, attack control. Sounds wonderful. Except I never hit 11, and I lost confidence in my location, and before I knew it I was in the reentrant. Of course, my brain thought I had overrun it and made a parallel error, thinking I was in the reentrant to the left of 15. I mean, things kinda lined up. I went for fifteen, hit twelve (yes, the hill is facing the wrong way, I should have noticed that, but I didn't, deal with it), went for 16, hit 11, then everything started making sense again because I recognized 11.
Everything calmed down a bit there. Almost screwed up 21, but we're good. I don't know what's happening with the GPS track at 18 because I definitely hit it. Unless I hit a stray streamer that wasn't supposed to be there, which would be awkward.
Also, why isn't reentrant in the internet dictionary? I'm sick of my computer underlining it red.

1-2 minutes rest between o-intervals. Nailed 1-2-3, easy. Stopped short of 4, barely missed 5, got back on track for 6, 7 was relatively easy, what a beautiful spur. I set 8-9-10-11, so it would have been embarrassing had I not gotten it perfect, so it's a good thing I did. Raced Michael on the final interval, he made a minor mistake to 12 that gave me a few seconds, he caught up by 13, pulled ahead on the way to 14 by taking a more direct route but a bit too far, which gave me a half-minute to minute lead to complete the interval. Clear winner: this guy :D

So I was gonna rant, but about two paragraphs of buildup and background info in I realized that there was just too much wrong with the situation to write a brief rant. So instead, I'm just going to tell you that there was a really, really long rant with too much information and frustration for someone to read and I'm not even sure one could get through it all and understand where I'm coming from. Generally, it was about how I'm playing right winger this year and how there are several reasons I should definitely be playing center mid but there are reasons the coach has for not playing me there, including some that mathematically just don't make sense, that I wholly disagree with. But I won't bore you with that.
First league game, finished 1-1. We should have won, but we couldn't put the ball in the net despite loads of possession and glorious chances. Our forward had a one-on-one with the opposing keeper and all he had to do was take a touch to the left around him, but he tried to curl it. Didn't work, why would it, you can't kick the ball through people. Their goal was a mistake by our goalkeeper, our goal was a long shot that dipped by our attacking mid. We had a few good headers and shots, but they weren't good enough. We really need to work on our finishing because right now we're losing games in front of the other teams' goals.

A new experience for me, a peculiar spin on orienteering without a map. This was a bit of a trial period for me, I don't have a specific loop set out yet but I will hopefully get out to that soon enough. There was a killer hill near the end after I crossed the river, was quite a challenge to push my way to the top while battling with the buckthorn.
