Ahern State Park, Sprint #1. Pretty awful job of navigating, even the "spikes" weren't very fast, and the blown controls were real stinkers in a sprint context.

Ahern State park, Sprint #2. Navigation only slightly better, most notable miss being the last control, where I drifted so far left that I caught myself when I stumbled into control #1 (~45 degrees off). But I suppose it pays to pick your battles cleverly. I wasn't sure that I was psyched to drive all the way up to Laconia for this, but since there's so much else going on this weekend, the field was thin (Ernst was there, but injured), and I wound up winning both sprints, despite my abysmal performance. Perhaps more importantly, it was a rare day when Stephen didn't have to rehearse for anything, so I was able to persuade him to go along for the car ride despite the fact that he wasn't feeling well -- he does like to go orienteering when he gets a chance. When we got there, he decided to give the orienteering a try anyway, and turned in winning runs on White (uncontested) and Yellow (ahead of about 10 other entries). Nice job!

A bunch of walking with Nancy, from the Aquinnah bus stop down to the beach, then on the sand to the lighthouse and back twice, and back up to the bus stop, and later from Beetlebung Corner to Menemsha.

Oak Bluffs to Edgartown and back, riding MTB with slicks, with Nancy.
