Event: Pinhey's Point Club Day
 

humidex 26

Having just walked Kyle through the tutorial map, I attacked this course with false confidence, screwing up the first three controls.

Blind-O: no map information (aside from perimeter fencing), only lines between target circles. This was a great compass test and I failed. Between controls 4 and 5, I did three extra controls I would then repeat as controls 12 through 15. I drifted both left and right of various targets. The pinickers had to direct me control 14 on the river bank. Can I blame the mid-day heat?

I went to the track to run a ladder, seeking some endorphins to mask the poison ivy pain. I started slow but only got slower. Apparently my body is under attack. Poison ivy is winning so far.

Humidex 27

I know that I might forget from season to season but I suspect that this is my worst bout of poison ivy. Seven days after reaching for a geocache in Vermont, my right arm blisters are still seeping.

Event: Timm Road: Summer Solstice 1
 

I started after everyone else and came in before everyone else because I was really there to take in the behind-the-scenes management that I will be doing myself in three weeks.

72, 71, 68, 67, 66, 65, 62, 61, 63, 64, 69, 70
48%
(44.2% w/ handicap but recorder missed one of my punches. Just once, I'd like to get through an Ottawa summer score-O season without having to contest the results.)

I can see that Liran is having the same difficulty: how to print control codes AND control numbers on a control card without writing them by hand?

I started looking for 71 way too early. I so overshot 62 that I was over fence and through the green. I had no problem getting to 69 but then I know these woods. However, I came out to trail just east of 70 and ran all the way down the trail before realizing I'd have to backtrack.

I was at the Play On street hockey tournament and headed for the woods between games. The guys went to the semi-finals and lost in shoot out (Kyle and Corey).
