Event: DVOA Governor Dick
 

Twisted my ankle between some rocks at Gov Dick on my way to #3. Limped back. All is well now. About 45 minutes and 2 miles not really worth logging :( Still, a beautiful day to be on Earth.

Between classes at one of the retirement communities! ;)

Crum Smedley! Much faster than with the snow cover. Felt really awesome today. Must be the coffee I drank right before!!

Doing errands in the city wearing a backpack. Sun on my face feels good!

Event: CANCELED - DVOA Quail Hill Scout Camp
 

I really wanted to go orienteering today.

Tinicum with Brian and Lucy. What a beautiful early spring day!

Yoga for stress reduction. Yes.

Crum / Smedley - messy slushy slippery wet feet!

Dad's watch so no route b/c I don't want to bother him with the technical aspects of that ;)

Walking in the snow storm in the city to and from a meeting. I'm counting it! :)

C • Totally! 1

SNOWGA

Back in Philly, working with Brian on sharing our knowledge with each other - I teach a pose to him (or series of poses), he teaches a few to me. Back and forth until an hour plus has passed! Really a lot of fun and I hope a new activity we'll practice consistently.

Thought about looking into West Point but it looks like the usual good places to stay (for cheap) are booked. How can shitty motels charge $175 / night?? It's preposterous!

C • Way too much 8

Event: DVOA Hibernia County Park
 

Green Course at Hibernia. Thanks to hughmac4 and his girls for the ride and good company!

All in all, it was wonderful to get out into the fresh air and amble around in the woods. Made some small errors, one big error at #8. Mostly just felt like I did not have running energy and walked a lot, so I was annoyed at myself for not being in better shape especially in easier sections. But I did a good job looking ahead and thinking about routes for controls to come while I was walking :)

#4 (53) - WHY? Maybe I approached this incorrectly, but it was really trashy in there and felt like a bad place for a control.

#7 (71) - Went up along the smaller creek instead of trail, and I think that slowed me down as it was thicker than anticipated. Was feeling stubborn about wanting to be off-trail.

#8 (72) - DUH! This should have been a totally easy control but I somehow ended up in the field way south of the trail I wanted to be on. Luckily recognized and corrected before getting too turned around or upset.

Can't wait for more O this season!! I love being able to focus on one thing, getting from point A to point B! All of life's other distractions fall by the wayside. :)

GREEN - Splits

Been teaching a lot and just exhausted for some reason.

Event: QOC Wheaton
 

Crum woods, 1:15 - 2pm - some paths blocked by trees - went up and around and off the trails! Which was fun. Nice day, glad to get out - but slow and oops I forgot my watch.

Hughmac4 I think I just missed you!!

C • Good job 1

Hard to come back from Florida and get into the swing of things here in Philly. I think I'm ready for spring. Slowly but surely.

In FLorida! Yoga and walking every day
