Jingle Bell 5K - Brighton, NY - I went into the race with the 'training run' mentality but felt pretty good and wound up with a decent time (for me). Kameron ran with me for most of the time and helped me keep my pace up. At the end she just couldn't stand it and used her much better kick to beat me by a few seconds. The weather was about as good as could be expected with the temp about normal and a lot of sun. The wind was the worst part...
The event seemed a bit disorganized when we first got there, but everyone manged to get through the registration line, the start was close to on-time and there were a good amount of volunteers. And the coffee was great too! So all in all a decent morning.
Orienteering race 45:00 [1] 2.5 km (18:00 / km)
ROC Scrooge-O. Camp Eastman. More like a walk in the woods, but the kids ran for at least a portion of the evening. We didn't get to the far ends of the park so our strategy toward the end was to just lurk near the controls. Tyler was actually enjoying getting to be 'The Scrooge' and we managed to get a pretty full punch card right at the end of the race.
