Practice course at Wyandotte. My plan is to work on moving faster through the woods, including up and down hills. So I often took the straight-line route, even if a trail or road option was available. I started a bit too hard, and died by the end. However, this was my first time running the whole course, so this is a good baseline measurement. I plan to run this course once a month through the winter O season.
Swampfox would hate this course; the woods are gross. But it makes me tough :)

PTOC night O at Bonner Park. Dan Welch surprised me by setting a good course. I surprised myself by actually completing this course at a pace that resembled running, instead of my usual jog. Lots of people showed up, probably because of the nice weather and good night 'o location. Of course, I blew them all away with my super orienteering headlamp (which I kept on high beam, just because I could :)

Moving through the fields at SMP. I forgot the map, so I didn't orienteer. Saw lots of animals, including an oppossum and a skunk. Quickly turned away from the skunk.

First night O of the season, at SMP. Lots of fun because it was a beautiful, warm evening, and I like to freak out the deer and hay riders. Stayed in the fields for the most part, with one quick trip into the woods to test out my new custom-made "local" O pants.
Oh, almost forgot the most fun: spider eyes!
