9.30am: DVOA A-Meet: French Creek North - green X
A perfect day for orienteering in French Creek as the visibility was very clear. As first time orienteering in a while did not want to start off too hard. 2-3 drifted a bit to the right and need to practice my distance estimation. 3-7 clean. 7-8: this was the leg I said to myself be careful as you can blow a lot of time. Planned to go from point to point with the good visibility, but was not careful and drifted further down the hill and not far enough. In the end found the platform 200m to the south and then relocated. About an 8 minute error! My prediction was right. Clean 8-10. 10-11: what looks simple had a nice little kicker in when to leave the trail. Nicely planned leg.11- finish clean.
Other than 7-8 I was happy with my run, especially as feeling a bit rusty and the lack of general running fitness.

French Creek - Day 1 GreenX - Splits

5.45am: cycled the loop. A wicked head wind most of the way out West River Dr to Falls Bridge. Temperature dropping as wanted to try to snow by the end. Out. 24.13 , back 18.02. Pushed hard back along Kelly Dr, hence a level 3. Felt good to be out.

Good stretch after cycle.

6.45am: good gentle walk along the beach taking photography and watching the light change dramatically from sunny to a rain front come through, before heading back to Philly. An excellent few days.
