Note
It's only about 3 weeks from the US ARDF (Radio Orienteering) Championships, and I need to do something drastic to get myself in a little better shape by then. With the car accident, I've had a pretty crazy summer. I finally was able to buy a used car Saturday a week ago, and that is a big load off my shoulders. Work is taking more time than normal. But I really need to just suck it up and run.

ARDF 2m race 1:07:42 [4] ***
shoes: Nike GoreTex
A short 5-transmitter ARDF at Rentschler Park near Hamilton, OH. Bob Frey was the setter, and he said that this was intended purely to get us used to 2m continuous carrier again. We've been using 2m keyed-carrier, which is the international standard, and harder. So this event was fairly easy by our standards.
I got screwed up "in the circle" by number 3 and took 3 or 4 cycles to get it. Had I had more radio-O events under my belt this summer, I think I would have had no trouble with it. The strategy side of my brain was working slowly.
A really fun course. It made good use of the honeysuckle (by placing T's to make it a little easier). I did swim in the thick honeysuckle a few times, but it was mostly trails and more open forest.
I just entered my last month's worth of logging (only a few hours of events, unfortunately/embarrassingly). The highlight is probably the Canadian Orienteering Championships, here. Be sure to read it in chronological order.
