Team Trials at Hawn. I was by myself today, which meant it was harder to push myself to keep jogging. Plus, this was the third day in a row of competition, which is pretty tough on my body right now.

Navigation was OK; one bobble on #3; one big, ten-minute mistake on #6. I stopped concentrating along the way, thought I had relocated on a fence, wandered a bit along the stream to the east, finally relocated, found the control and moved on. Bummer to have had that first mental lapse, but I managed to admit I had to relocate, and was able to put the mistake out of my mind to finish the course cleanly (although slowly).

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the weekend. I can see some improvement in my speed through the woods, and my fitness. Still need to work on the map reading, as always. But three decent days in a row; I'll take that.

Great weekend all around, in terms of courses, weather, company. One glaring exception: no Lisa. Otherwise, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
