Orienteering 1:06:52 [3] *** 4.8 mi (13:56 / mi)
10c shoes: Inov 8 Mudclaw Red

The final. Best run of the week. Knee finally felt decent.

I thought a lot about the urgency thing I talked about yesterday. I also didn't get much sleep. 4 hours at most. I felt a little anxious at the start for the first time in a long time. (Yes I know its a training run.)

Only 1 major mistake lost 7 minutes I think. Ralph suggested how to attack #7 with it being in a green area. Shouldn't have listened, I got out of the green after my first attack, relocated, and went right to it. A small amount of lost time at 9(?), misread the rocky area and missed the control, but quick fix.

Orienteering 2:20:00 [3] 5.5 mi (25:27 / mi)
22c shoes: Inov 8 Mudclaw Red

Marathon. Super frustrated with this. I think I was under 2 hours last year. My navigation was much better this year though, I was able to go right to the circle for all but 1 control. But my problems started once I got in the circle. Several controls I lost minutes in the circle just cause I couldn't see the flag. This goes into something I've been noticing in my orienteering. I don't have any urgency when I'm orienteering anymore. Like today, if I got to where I thought the flag should be and I didn't see it, I would say "oh, it's in the wrong spot" or "why does it have to be in this green" or "maybe I'll just skip this one." That doesn't sound like old me at all.

Orienteering 21:00 [3] 1.8 mi (11:40 / mi)
4c shoes: Inov 8 Mudclaw Red

Short series #3.

Bad. Knee was super sore, couldn't really bend it, and wasn't gonna push it that hard. But i still managed to make a dumb mistake on #2. Chose a bad attackpoint and it cost me.

Contour-o with Dylan G.

He did well for the first 4 points until he grabbed a cactus. I decided to skip a couple and get the last 2.

Misc. 30:00 [3]

Rapelling tower. Did a lot more climbing today. Shouldn't have with the knee.

Climbing is much more fun than I thought, may have to look for places at home.

Short series #2

This is my best guess to where I lost my phone

Orienteering 35:00 [3] 3.3 mi (10:36 / mi)
10c shoes: Inov 8 Mudclaw Red

The chase. Much happier with this than the prolog yesterday. Stepped on a thorn that went through to my foot leaving 3. Had to take a minute and take my shoe and insole out to remove the thorn

Setting the night-o controls.

Leaving the last control going back to the camp, I jammed a cactus needle into my knee. Never felt a pain so sudden, sharp and intense, especially while orienteering.

Stopped and rolled up my o-pant, tried to pull out the needle with no luck. I bent my knee and felt it break. So I walked back to camp and looked at my knee with tweezers and fingernail clippers and found nothing. Super sore the rest of the day

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)

(I think the night-o was this day)

A group convinced me to go with them for the vampire-o. Really wanted to be vampires, but saw none the entire time.

About 48 minutes into the 1 hour time limit, my group heard some very panicked screaming. Met up with another group that heard it too, but it stopped and couldn't see anything.

Got the 2 groups back to the check in, and got all the students into the dining hall for a roll call. Thankfully no one missing, and no major injuries. My best guess is that a group got separated and couldn't find each other.

Misc. 30:00 [3]

Rock climbing and rapelling. Think I spent 2 hours or so at the tower
