| Had to leave this morning which was really sad cause it was also a party and a half traveling in a van of Americans. I even miss all of their Canadian jokes...almost. |

| orienteering race (night-o) 1:19:00 [5]*** 7.6 km (10:24 / km) | |
| |
| I dunno if I was actually running faster, or if it just felt like it because it was dark, but it felt as if I was flying through the course compared to the blue courses I had run on the weekend. My light was like a measly about to die lightbulb, so it was nice when one of the runners with the car lights strapped to their heads were behind me, cause they lit up the whole forest!!! The start was a little rushed cause I forgot to clear and punch, so the the start thingymadooer wouldn't beep when it was my start time. Had to run back through the crowd to find the clear and check and then back to the start box and then to go pick up my map. Holy macaroni!!!! :P Didn't make any horrific mistakes, although I was close to doing a few. I kept trying to run while reading ahead, but that always resulted in tripping over or into a tree, or falling into a depression of off a cliff. Maybe I'll work on getting one of those car lights to strap to me head...I could even get blinkers!!!:P:P I think I ended up 2nd in F elite after a Norwegian runner, which makes me happy. |
| orienteering 2:15:00 [2] | |

| Field-checked my training event, picked up my controls, and then ran the 3 other training events. A simplifying exercise, aiming off, and a reversed line-o. Lots of fun. |

Night-O Red - Splits |
Monday Aug 6 |
| running 1:10:00 [3] | |
| |
| Not totally sure of the time, but it was either an hr or just over it. Started out doing an Indian Run as John calls it which I really enjoyed. I've never done something like that and it was a blast, except for the part where Nate kept steering my into the bushes. |

| orienteering race (classic) 1:45:21 [4]*** 13.5 km (7:48 / km) | |
| |
| Ran blue again today since the two classic courses are combined, that's my excuse anyways. It was my longest o-course ever not including the rogains and adventure runs that I've done. It was really boring running through the fields and was a lot like yesterday except longer. Did a 180 degree error trying to get to the water control, but fortunately fixed it before I got too messed up. Tried to push it a little more in the fields and trails, but again, I had to walk up some of the hills cause it was so draining. John beat me by about 20min, but I beat Mike :P I think my overall time was 3:19:00 whereas the wining overall time was just over 2 hrs...hmmm I'll work on that :P:P |
