Event: US Two-day Classic O Championships
 

US Champs. I ran masters today and being sick and injured I wasn't expecting much of a performance but the orienteering was rather fun and that is better than vitamin I for a sore body. The course had lots of rough compass and map reading but maybe only 2-3 CP's had precision stuff (CP features used were generally quite big). Fell badly on the way to #4 and considering quitting because the right knee (the good knee) was really hurting. Missed #5 and decided to quit but when I noticed how far it was to the finish I decided to be careful and just run the rest of the course. Generally slowed down at that time (except when I had the battle of gimpy orienteers with Boris) but had lots of trouble with the knees on the really steep ending to the course. Once I finished the knee swelled up badly so tomorrow is doubtful as I can hardly walk right now. Not sure of the results (I was 58) but I could have run sub 54 today (lost 2 minutes with errors and another ~ 2 minutes lost by slowing down because of knee pain).

Great lunch afterwards with AG!, Griz and NewPatrick at the Chocolate Mill.

C • Chocolate Mill? 11

Day 1 Red X - Splits

McCore. Will try to O tonight on the sore knees.

Another great adv. Nites course complete with SI

pouring rain, slick slopes, dark in the forest, lotsa mud, cold and many kids were having a great time running and laughing in the forest. Nice job Patrick!

Easy spin indoors. Both knees are very sore so I had to skip the Niagara Falls sprint which sucks.

Event: 2010 Golden Leaf Orienteering Fest
 

various glof stuff. great runs by many racers esp. BigE and Ali. very cool to see 30+ Adventure Running Kids having so much fun. Awesome weather again and it appears people enjoyed the courses and the arena atmosphere. Not enough 80's music though.

glof stuff

Does Keg tapping in KW with Hans and Miss Octoberfest count as training?



The keg tapping was a great way to end the Wildfire conference in KW. During the conference I saw a presentation on the 2009 Victorian fires near Melbourne. Super scary.

Tired again today.
Very cool to have over 25 adventure running kids registered for GLOF on Saturday. Get ready to Get Muddy!

GLOF stuff in the pouring rain on a cold morning. I can't say I enjoyed this.

busy with glof and work stuff and as such not enough sleep = tired training session. Biking in DV during SMT. Count this at 60%. sudden takes back the king of k2
