| Ultimate Orienteer #3: Score-O at Priest Point
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/65669 1025 points (Nikolay smoked a 1600!) Brought along my new Garmin. Unfortunately, I was pretty dumb and I selected the option to delete everything once the data was uploaded to my computer. I uploaded to the Garmin Connect website, instead of to the locally housed Training Center software. Basically, this means that I can't get the route to overlay on an o-map using either QuickRoute or RouteGadget. I can't seem to upload the data twice (once to Connect, once to GTC) before it's deleted. Man, I would think that after tons of Street Scrambles, that I'd have this route-planning thing down pat. Heh, I made so many route choice errors out there (skipping the 100-pointer with 300m of the finish, and running all the way out to a 25-pointer). However, in my defense on that one... the plan was to do an outer loop for the high pointers, but when I got there, I saw the control way down there, and it was steep and green, and the rest of the controls out there looked difficult to get there, so I decided to take it easy on my ankle. I had problems getting up the hill to 103. It was slippery/muddy/steep, and my handhold gave way, and I slid/fell back down the hill. I actually had to re-attack on another slope, and my original up and down is logged on the GPS track! :-) The most fun part of the entire course was running across the "ocean". The tide was extremely low-- "low tide saves my hide" was my motto during the last 10 minutes. As I was running out to 110, 109, 125, and 119, everyone else was running opposite me back to the finish! Basically, I was committed to the tide flats or else I'd lose mega points. Worked like a charm! One wet step, and probably 10 other muddy ones, but it worked out great. Afterward, everyone thought it was a clever strategy (I think I was the only one who attempted it). I'm glad I got one clever thing in, since I did a lot of silly things out there! I find it a bit ironic that the one guy from Kansas is the only one to attempt the crossing! Oh, I got nettled pretty good out there. My legs are still burning. | ||

Estimated arrival date at the Seattle Flagship store: 05/01/2008. Look for an e-mail from your REI store when it has arrived. It's 6:40pm on 05/01/2008, and no email! The suspense is killing me! | ||

| Other 2:00:00 [2] | |
| I'm logging this as "other" because we played so poorly that I certainly can't log it as volleyball. Ugh. That's all there is to say about that. | ||

| Softball 1:15:00 [1] | |
| Softball, first game of the season. We lost 17-10. Interesting stat: we scored in 6 of 7 innings, and they scored in only 3 of 6 innings (3 very big innings).
I pitched ok, given the weather conditions. It was super duper windy, which made pitching difficult. On the batting side, I was 3-for-3 with 2 RBI's and a double. Hitting kudos of the day go to Steve, as he had 5 RBI's, including a monster 3-run homer! | ||
| Softball 5:00 [2] | |
| Went to the batting cages before the softball game. I went through 3 rounds, which is probably 5 minutes worth? It was definitely enough to get a blister. I'm certainly glad that I went. It was the first time I'd swung a bat since September. I think if I had a softball nickname, it would be "first pitch" because I always swing at the first pitch. Even with the windy conditions, I only saw 3 pitches during 3 at-bats. | ||
