 | orienteering race (sprint) 22:26 [5]**** | |
| (sick) |
| Felt soooo drained from puking all yesterday so I drank a lot of fluids before and then went uber slow so that I wouldn't collapse out on the campus. It might have been a good thing that I went slower than sprint speed cause then I could read the details much better. Didn't mess up any of the controls but was definitely ready to lie down and go to sleep by the end of the race. |

Sprint - Splits |
Thursday Jul 26 |
| orienteering (media event) 22:00 [3] | |
| |
| Did the media event to check out the sprint map. It was really hard to read the out-of-bound areas, uncrossable walls, and the stairs but other than that I just took it really slow and spiked every control. |

| orienteering (relocation) 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| John took a group of us around woods working on relocation which was pretty tricky. He had us doing loop-the-loops around trees and around hills. I figured out where I was pretty quickly most of the time, and I stumped for a few minutes only once. |
| orienteering (relay) 25:00 [3] | |
| |
| A one-person relay with 3 maps and I didn't do too badly. Was racing with Graeme and Lee cause we did the maps all in the same order. I messed up 2 on the first map pretty badly and then 2 on the second map as well, but not as bad as Graeme. That's where we lost him, and then I just a lot faster than Lee on the 3rd map. Almost beat Eric, but he had a better route choice to the finish than I did. |

| orienteering (line-o and head-to-head) 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| I'm totally not sure of the times, but we did a line-o that I did well for 1/2 of it on, and then I totally lost my place and was just following the guys in front of me. Didn't figure out where I was until it was time to turn around, do I just took it sow from there and made sure I knew where I was the whole time. After the line-o a bunch of the guys and I had a head-to-head race for the last 6 controls stopping at the 3rd control to wait for people. I went way too fast for my map-reading speed and I had to slow down to relocate. Definitely a good training exercise though. |
| running 30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Some running training with Maurene which was really cool. |
| orienteering 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Just a normal course to work on our o-techniques and Brent shadowed me for the first 3/4 of the course. I don't know if he's lucky or what, but it was my best run on that terrain ever!!! I was choosing good routes and spending almost no time standing at the control. I was flowing soooo well. After he left, I kinda lost my concentration and bobbled the next few controls, but I finally started enjoying the terrain. |

| orienteering 1:00:00 [2]*** | |
| |
| Did a course out on the training map to get a taste of the terrain and I'm not sure if I like it all that much. It's full of underbrush from a storm so pretty much most of the map is green, it was stinkin hot and I was totally exhausted!!! |
Sunday Jul 22 |
| orienteering race (night-o) 1:05:00 [3] | |
| |
| Was really nervous for the start of this night-o but I didn't go too fast and kept track of where I was the hole time, so I didn't get totally lost at all, just a few little bobbles. |
| running 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Did some trail running in Riding Mountain National Park really really early in the morning to beat all of the tourists. Did I really nice run along Clear Lake but I found it really tough, blame it on the altitude... :P Got lost in the campground trying to make it back to our site which really sucked cause I was about to collapse by that point. Thankfully, I made it back alive. |
