After losing a couple of minutes getting to NO.3 a competior closed in on me and we battled through the next 5 controls. Than the light went out and I head on a tree, the tree was still standing and I wasn't. I hit it low and blocked some of the impact with my arm and finger. All three took a beating. I checked my self to see if I was all right and when I checked my head for blood, my little finer was cut open and bleeding all over. My halo headband saved some head skin, I am sure. I was somewhat disorientated, what else is new, and I went on finding the next control and having a long trail run. I seemed ok untill i should of had a super easy control and when I came off the trail to look for a lake, all I saw was green area and open fileds. I drifted to low and with other orienteers running around looking fdor the next control,I was a mess. Finally hitting the 12 control from the trail to the east. I made it in finally. Just two controls cost me big minutes and I did well in the techinal areas.

C • lights went out! 1

Ok I really messed up No 2 control with a 8 minute error. It really messed up my confidence and pace for running the rest of the race. Other control I seem to not hit dead on , but was close enough to recover each time.

Event: US Team Trials
 

Sprint at Michigan. 2nd overall on green, just messed up one control when I could not see the trail junctions and went off line 100 meters before getting bacxk on track. Fun but short event.

4 mile road, always warm up first 2 and time back 2nd 2. 13:46 for 2nd 2. Hopefully thats about the time for the sprint on friday.

Actually two runs, one was 1/2 mile at 3:00 at school, the other was 3 miles easy with the track team.

Awesome floor hockey game, with overtime win.
