Event: City of Lakes Loppet Ski Orienteering
 

Skiing and taking pictures of the Loppet Ski-O.

Julia and I, setting controls for the ski-o. Control setting for this is a lot different than the foot-o setting we are used to. Borrow a 4' wide tote sled from the Loppet Org. Load it with sandbags, tools, and snacks. Drive it across town. Park in a neighborhood and drag the sled across the pavement for 100 meters in to the park. Use the sled to "set" trail for all of the side trails used for walking, or to just make trails across open areas. Stop, use a drill to create a 3/8" hole to place the control stands. mark it with a flag and florescent chalk, and repeat... A lot of sled dragging.... Good times. I think the temp topped out at about 7 degrees, but we were stripping off layers.

Argh.... we are te last place team with two points. We played the only team we can surpass in points, who had three. We blew it. They got one good goal, one own goal, and another stopable goal. We had two highlight reel goals... one by yours truly, but could not overcome. They now have six points... and are likely out of our reach.

Getting GPS tracks for the ski-o. tried to ski all the groomed trails and some of the trails we will have to create.....

Tough game for Cooters Garage. but we will take a 2-0 win any day. Both goals were a little soft, but I ain't complaining. Everyone played solid. Sadly, our leading goal scorer twisted his knee. hopefully he just needs a little couch time.
