Event: ICO Robb Hill
 

Sadistic Blue course in the rather lovely Robb Hill woods. Nowhere near fit enough for all the scrambling up and down so skipped some faraway controls. Was choosing btwn Orange and Blue, and the first few controls went quickly so thought I had chosen well, but after that things got worse and I was just trudging. The control locations themselves were not hard to find but getting to and away from the flags was often spectacularly difficult. Maybe my route choices were all horrible. The forest was quite beautiful, tho, and there were brownies, sugar cookies, chili, hot dogs, and hot chocolate when we got back. :)

The last two controls were in an interesting section full of knolls and bumps and steep little banks. I understand they are man-made. Tempted to walk across what looked like a solid piece of ice but wasn't sure about the middle so thought better of it.

Whizzing around in ovals. Chatted for a few minutes with a guy who was wearing long blades and seemed to know how to use them. There was another guy with long blades who looked like he was new to them.

Maybe if I'm on track with the homework, I'll be able to go every day next week. Yay!
