Phew, made it to Paris. But barely! Lost passport in Logan. (Returned to me by a policewoman as I ran like a headless chicken trying to find it *after* the whole rest of the flight had already boarded, not even sure where I left it...) Seriously, I need to deal with life better.
Slept well on flight, then went straight to meet my friend Arjen at the Centre Georges Pompidou, a modern art museum. Pretty amazing. Saw some of my faves in real life (one of the things you never realize is how big those little pictures in the book really are), saw some kinda disturbing surrealist stuff, some fun modern modern stuff, including a neato colored playground-couch sculpture. Way, way more to see, another visit.
Over dinner, Arjen spilled red wine all over me and the one pair of pants I brought with me. Awesome. Have a dress to wear tomorrow, but prob will need to go shopping unless I want to wear it all week...

Oops, left Garmin in a bag at Brendan's! Won't have it for France, boo. =(
Anyways, this wasn't a super race. (And was nemesissed!) One of those evil little pine tree twigs poked my eye right after punching 1, ripped a corner out of my contact which didn't feel that good, so took it out and the rest of the race had kinda wierd vision... decided I had to try though, because hey, that could happen in a way more serious race (actually one contact tried to leave in WOC relay) so kept going.
Little miss on 2, took totally wrong trail from field, must of been off-kilter from contact, really silly mistake. To 4, had a really huge miss as well, went way left, nearly hit houses before realizing I was following a stone wall going 90 degrees the wrong direction, jeez louise!
Those were the only really terrible ones, besides a bad attempt crossing a swamp right at the end (way too deep!), but lots of just slightly-off. Was thinking about control-englarging/surface envisioning, which a few times worked well and got me into the control. Needs more practice though!

And decided on Orange for a second course, after looking at Yellow with Alee (said same way as Ali), a gal who came out with CSU crowd who was o'ing for the first time. Think she had fun and wants to do more! Anyways, was giving her a few ideas of what to think about on the yellow, namely to look for things to tell her when to turn off the trails.
Orange went really well, good flow, put another contact in, so could run more courageously through the woods, fun times!

Good afternoon times at Great Brook Farm - hanging out, and yummy ice cream, and looking at some JWOC maps with Meg, and then everyone was for sure back, so control pick up!
Able to do a few I hadn't spiked first time around, and still tried to mess up the darn water control. Really should have done it over again, but was carrying controls, which makes running through the woods a bit more annoying...
Then to Cambridge land for some pre-flight showering and Indian-food eating, now to France!

Looks like it's not allergies, actually have a cold, bummer! But tons of work to do, a few low-training days will be a-ok.
And just to say thanks to all of UNO for a great camping weekend, especially Lex and Pete. It's simply an awesome weekend of events, all-levels friendly, but awesome training for people who want a 4-5 odd hours of high-quality o-training too!
