| Note | |
| Over the two meets I've directed, there are some trends emerging...
Good: the weather is beautiful Bad: people return an hour after courses close Other notes from today: I was not happy with the course setter. Not only weren't the courses ready at 9am for the volunteers to run, but they weren't ready until 10:25am, and I had long lines of grumpy public runners... and I was in charge. Not to mention that the courses weren't all that great, and he shortened the longest "classic" course from 9km to 5.6km because he got some feedback that 9km was too long. Of course, I wasn't ever involved in that discussion... The new car can handle meet directing, though if I need to carry more, I need to think about it more. The car can fit: two tents, seven chairs, a table, four big rubbermaid tubs, a bunch of signs, two sawhorses, a couple dozen e-punch stands, a giant battery, and a big army bag full of temporary fence stake things. Why are Boy Scouts so obsessed with compasses at orienteering? It drives me crazy. As much as I try to push the maps, as soon as I'm done, the leaders think I'm overlooking the compass training and they start getting into rotating the bezel and take bearings... How often is it that you can orienteer within sight of a musk ox? | ||

| This has nothing to do with orienteering.... but UCLA bumped up a few spots in my least favorite teams list. And I want to punch Dick Enberg in the face! Is that being too cruel?
That said, if UNC and UCLA were to meet in the championship game, I'd hope for a big UCLA win. | ||

| Same old same old, except no bungee cord side steps this time.
One of the other patients, Andy, is a Boeing guy that I've seen in certain circles. And we have this ongoing thing about who can get the highest "score" on the VersaClimber (aka "infinite ladder of death") in 10 minutes. When we're done with our therapy, the guy with the lower score owes the other a beer. My first score: 800 feet His next score: 963 feet My next score: 1015 feet I come in today, and Andy is there, and he tells me he raised the bar to 1235 feet. The guy is in a mountaineering class, so that makes sense I guess. I step on, and after 1 minute, I'm feeling good and on pace at 125 feet. After 2 minutes, I'm still on pace, at 250 feet. But then I can't keep it up. I'm already behind pace by 5 minutes, and I'm struggling to keep a 100 ft/min pace. I really pushed it over the last minute, probably in the 135 range. I finished with 1063 feet. Easily a best for me, but nowhere near his 1235. At some point while was there, Andy left. Once I was done, the therapist told me Andy's secret.... he didn't do 1235 at all! His best result is still the 963. I feel a bit better about that now. I only have 4 more sessions to go. I'm shooting for an 1100. That would be a good number. | ||

| I'm even more frustrated with AxisGear right now.
That is all. Since Relay Champs is out of the picture for jerseys, I'd like to be picky and get the shade of pink right, at least. | ||

| Note | |
| The KU game will tip-off at 9:25am in Seattle. I think I'll take an early long lunch. And, I'll be able to catch the K-State (boo!) and A&M (quasi-yay!) games before the Cascade board meeting. The four games that'll be on during the board meeting will be featuring: UCLA, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame. The Arizona game will probably be the only interesting game of the bunch. | ||
