Running 7:00 [1]
Orienteering race 42:27 [3]
NAOC Middle @ Lewes Lake
Woo, fun orienteering! Easily the most technical (aside maybe from the end of yesterday's long) that I've done in awhile. Felt like a middle for sure. And the arena was amazingly gorgeous. Feel so luck to be up here!
And I kinda won, but didn't really win. I won W21E, but Emma W. running W20E beat me, which is awesome.
And my race went ok. Felt like I wasn't physically pushing hard, but I was mentally. The fact that I still made some 30s-45s mistakes meant I couldn't go much faster than I was. I even almost really blew it by going to (and punching!) 17 (the GO control) before 16. Very thankful to have saved it!

NAOC long @ Croucher Creek
Guess I'm going to Norway next summer! Won in a fairly tight race with Emily (~2 min). Made my first big mistake in awhile (vagueness at #10), but otherwise I think did really well with the less technical portion before the spectator control.
Then we entered the zone of karst terrain. I tried to channel memories of SMOC terrain and I'm sure my 2 years there helped a lot. But I still had to go very slowly and even with that messed up a very short leg 14->15 and was quite hesitant throughout. Still, I found that portion much more fun b/c challenging.

Note
Made it to Whitehorse!! Sylvia traveled relatively well, but it's kinda a workout just keeping such an active squirmer contained for the flights!!! our AirBnB in down town Whitehorse is super cute. A walk around town yesterday gave us a bit of a feel for the place and holy moly does the Yukon River really book it - it's carrying a lot of water at quite a high speed, impressive!

Note
Canoe paddle with Tom and Steph and Dad during first nap (Mom nap-babysat), really nice with low wind. Then lots of chasing baby around this non-babyproof house, three different beach outings and a leisurely swim with Steph to Goode's rock and back.

Rowing 50:00 [1]
Nice row around Haverkamp's island and then down around Cherokee island and back. Beautiful low-wind day again and calmer on the lake due to Monday. Hands are a bit blistered, but not too bad. Plus, really can't compare to the approximately 2 square inch blood blister on my right instep that happened during the relay...
