Orienteering race 1:38:00 [3]
Much better course today, the map was well put and super readable :)
My favorite thing that happened was when I finished the race, a couple of shaken beer cans were sprayed open on me... :D

Orienteering race 1:59:31 [3]
Brutal course today
The entire map had green, and five trails, so that means you were slow when heading to certain controls.
Four people didnt finish the in course in my class... glad I did :D
For those of you who thought west point was bad with the water controls, there was no such leisure at these races....

Event: O-week Varna
Note
Arrived yesterday, no more delays, but my bag got broken into by the Boston TSA and I am currently missing a bag of casual clothes, and maple syrup...dicks.
it also arrived 1/4 of the way open due to the broken zipper...
FML....
I'll call them when I have free time, currently heading out to the Bulgarian cup

Up and down,
It's so great to be back in Bulgaria!
My favorite thing was to run by someone, casually say hi, have them say hi, then do a double-take, realize that yes indeed I am here, then run over to me, pick me up and spin me around as if I was their daughter/sister/grandchild :)

Orienteering race 47:52 [3] *** 4.3 km (11:08 / km)
spiked:15/18c
For starters I arrived late to my start (so minus one-two minutes)
So much sand and rocks... rolled my ankle 73804380 times (slight exaggeration)
1-5 was slow but easy going, still had the sprint mindset, so I made a habit of looking ahead, which really paid off!
6-16 was fast pace! Minus my booboo of running directly from 10-12, luckily 11 and 12 were close by so it didn't really matter, it just meant that I had the fastest split to 12 =D
12-16 were decent, slight downhill so I felt pretty fast.
Okay, now for the stupid part.
16's code was 31, I still had the mindset that I was looking for 31,,( on my way I saw a rabbit, this will become relevant in a bit) when I arrived at 17 (36) I saw that indeed, it wasn't 31, so I ran off and relocated again, and ended up back at 17, rechecked the code, and left again... I ran around for 5 minutes before finally checking the code description and seeing that I kept ignoring my control... >.< My eyes hurt from how widely I rolled then once I realized my mistake....
Okay, now for the rabbit part: The coach I'm staying with was using my mistake as an example, "You saw a control that wasn't yours and you got scared, so like a rabbit, you ran away. In these situations you should stay and try to figure out where you are, instead of running off blindly"
The rabbit that I saw was obviously a sign :P I'll be keeping an eye out for them so I can be reminded to keep a level head
All in all, I was able to be placed 3rd =D

Running warm up/down 25:00 [3]
Kinda lost track of time while warming up, missed my start by a couple seconds :D
Orienteering race 13:12 [3]
Very beautiful map/area, had a lot of fun running here
Orienteering race 18:47 [3]
Very shaky running this race, did not trust the people I was running by, I guess that's what made me go fast =D
Note
So an interesting event happened today while eating lunch on the Boston common.
Five police officers were dealing with a drug bust near us juniors, when all of a sudden we hear a dispute between two guys, at first they were just pushing each other around, then actually fist fighting, then one guy shouts "I'm going to fucking kill you", and proceeds to reach into his bag and pull out a gun shape object and moves his arms in a clocking motion.
At that point all the juniors booked it to the nearby band stand and started yelling at the police saying that there was a fight and that one of the guys had a gun.
That got their attention.
Three very unfit but determined officers "ran" over there while the other two got into their cop car and drove over.
No shots were fired, a swat car arrived, the man was taken into custody, and we all ran a race an hour later.
