Event: SVO Hammonds Rocks
Note
weight:120.4lbs
Okay, something must be done about this weight gain creeping up on me. Gained 4lbs since March! Must be all the beer I've been drinking. I'm officially on a diet starting right now. Would like to get back down to 115 or thereabouts. (For those who don't know, I used to be 40lbs heavier, and it was really hard to lose that weight!)
11 AM
Orienteering 1:26:54 [3] 4.17 mi (20:50 / mi) +827ft 17:33 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 - Blue
Green DNF at Hammonds Rocks
Kind of a dumb decision on my part to even go to this event considering the distance to get there. Things just kept going wrong: forgot my socks, my GPS sent me up a road that was unpaved and washed out in places, and I arrived kind of a little white-knuckled. That's when the rain began. Ok, no prob. Did the first few controls and that's when I noticed my map was getting blurry. Hm, whatevs, kept going...after #5 had trouble seeing the trails in the dark green and took a stupid route choice through there. As I was doubling back to go another longer way, b/c I lost the trail, I realized that I couldn't even really see how to get to #6 or #7 b/c of the state of my bedraggled wet map - the colors were bleeding and had no clarity. So, decided to skip those and skip #8 too bc it looked like a long trek through woods (which weren't white by any stretch of the imagination and the way to #8 included green slash) and somehow couldn't even find #9. So I just gave up altogether and had a nice little run back to the start/finish area.
Glad I got a workout, and thanks to everyone for putting on the meet of course. To top it all off, got a call from my dogwalker on the way home asking for the key to my house. Oops. Forgot to put it in the lockbox. So - terrible dog mom, terrible orienteer.
Dog is fine, of course. I'd like to return to HR sometime and do some better orienteering!

Still didn't figure out what I'm doing with the rest of my life, but after 45 min of yoga, at least I feel better about not knowing.

Around Danville. Also did some fun fishing earlier in the day - didn't catch anything, but it was cool to be on a river on a sunny day somewhere I've never been before. The bait store was an awesome experience...!
