Jordan and Noa helped me clear trails at C O Harrison. We also sanded off spray paint graffiti from the bridge that OCIN juniors built a few years ago.

Mostly chainsaw and loppers. There were several downed trees across the trail, and we made quite a dent in the overhanging honeysuckle and brambles.

Event: OCIN Tawawa Park
 

Score Course at Tawawa Park. Most controls were easy to around yellow level. Lost a few seconds each in at least 3 places hesitation (map not making sense - duh), on one route choice (should have stayed low, instead did a trail that had extra climb-descent-climb), not following plan and picking up a control earlier than planned, which resulted in some extra climb. Matt Bond beat me by exactly one minute. If I had cleaned up all those mistakes, it might have been close...

distance estimated...

Follow up - The meet director announced on Monday that Matt was disqualified for crossing the forbidden river (based on control order and split times). So, I got first after all!

Setup and moving equipment and start / finish for OCIN / REI Women's Orienteering Workshop. A great all-female teaching team led by Flyingsquirrel and Tracy Burge taught a class of 20 women and girls.
