Event: QOC Little Bennett Night-O
6 PM
Orienteering race (Night - Beginner) 37:19 [2] *** 2.4 km (15:33 / km) +40m 14:21 / km
FR = 2.18 miles with 58.5 m climb Ready for the night! Warm up by going NC on the Beginner course.
I decided to go out on the Beginner course first, in order to gain some confidence. It was so much fun! Even the adventure from 2-3. The trails between 6 and 9 are a bit off, and for 7, I thought I was there because there was a sharp turn in the trail. And, the trail comes to a "T" well before 9, and there is even a fence there. The mapper will be redoing those areas. Thank you, Sam.
Even with temps in the 20s, it wasn't so bad if you kept moving. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground, and the traction was great. So much fun to run!

8 PM
Orienteering race (Night - Intermediate) 1:06:22 [3] *** 3.9 km (17:01 / km) +110m 14:55 / km
FR = 3.11 miles with 101.8 m climb
After waiting about 1:45 for Amy to return for epunch relief, I conscripted Laura and went out on the Intermediate course. Only real error was from 5-6. Otherwise, I was carefully nailing the controls, and I ended up 2nd, a little in front of Alexis. She was beat by 50 and 59 year old women - good role models, for sure. ;-)
