Note

Definitely a fox! This time I was sitting at my desk - monitoring the Ski-WOC results; Go Team USA!!! - and the fox came trotting slowly across my yard only 20 feet from the window.

Brown course at Norristown Farm Park. A new map, sort of like a small version of Fair Hill. I managed to botch an easy control; not sure it would have given me the win but it would have been close.

trail 56:25 [3]

TNT - Media. Trails with Eric - me trying to jog as much as possible but walking several hills, Eric easily able to keep up just walking. I was however talking pretty non-stop even while running - except for one last bit when I was determined to run from the trail junction all the way to the road which I did but just barely.

Nice feast afterwards. Thanks!

The extra short hill loop - got up a little late and had an early morning appointment. But I got out there. And it was even raining!

orienteering 3:06:02 [3]

Blue Course at Mt. Penn - Antietam. Did it with Sandy Ahlswede.

Since we dnf'ed we don't show up on the splits. :(

We were doing fine until control #14. We were on a road and we were supposed to go down a really, really steep, really really rocky, really briary slope and there was just no way we could find down that looked safe. And, we would have had to just come right back up to the road again and go down the other side which was just as steep and rocky and nasty looking. So after going up and down the section of road a few times we decide to skip those two controls. The next control was fine but we must have forgotten to punch; it was a water stop and I know we had water and we don't have another punch so we didn't punch any other control so we must have forgotten. Very weird. That was #16. We did 17, 18 and 19 and then realized we were going to be overtime so skipped 20 and 21 as well, even though they didn't look that tough and would have only added another 10 minutes or so.

So a very good workout - I'm mega sore this evening - but a little disappointing. Hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow.

Lots of people overtime today. Definitely physical courses.
