Training Log Archive: Kestrel-O

Event: Pawtuckaway Camping Weekend
 

Will post race recap once results are up. Also did not do Vamp-O as I was very tired from the day and my dad did not want to do it because of memories of previous times when he got injured.

Green course is a bit of a step up for me so I was approaching it very carefully using lots of handrails. 1-2: Ran trail. 2-3: Ran trail until after the marsh, then contoured down the side of the hill. 3-4: Compass to stream, then contour nav after Bering to get me going in the right direction. 4-5: Compass to uncrossible marsh, then contour. 5-6: Compass to lake, took a drink, ran to end of trail then compass and detailed terrain reading. 6-7: Compass to get off in right direction, then read the contours. 7-8: Almost went of to the east but luckily looked at compass, then feature nav to control. 8-9: Went south of marsh then just ran to find it. 9-10: Ran back on my tracks to trail then trail to control and then ran straight into woods with out compass. 10-F: Just ran, bounced of lean to then to the finish. Good race especially being second green race on own.

Did Canoe-O at Pawtuckawy by my self while my parents did it in canoe. Got points (in this order) 4, 5, (then I was about to go to 9, 10, and 11 but thought I would not have time so skipped them) then 8, 15, 16, 7, 12, 6, (6 and 12 am not sure of order) 3, 2, 1. Did not do 1 in most time wise (I paddled because I had plenty of time and preferred not to get feet wet). I was wrong about not having enough time to get 9, 10 and 11. But as this is the first Canoe-O I have done by myself I was very cautious. I ended up with 11 controls for 33 points.
