| Really boomed the first one-using a google map didn't really give me enough info on my location. I was looking for an open area with a distinct end of heavy trees along a road, but such a thing didn't exist. Second control was easier to identify-and due to not finding the first one-I ran a parallel course and was about 200 meters north- time started to be a factor so I replotted my course and headed back when I arrived at another easily identifiable intersection- a real map would have helped. Discovered a lot about forest navigation and running or lack thereof... |

| Cold symptoms are moderate, but had an attack of gout yesterday evening. Probably didn't drink enough yesterday and the day before. I noticed a twinge on my run. Better after taking gout medication but a day off it should help. |

| Orienteering (Line-O) 26:09 [3]** 2.3 km (11:22 / km) | |
| ahr:135 max:168 spiked:5/5c rhr:4 slept:8.0 weight:78.8kg (sick) shoes: New Balance 872 Trail |
| Ran a square route through the woods. Pretty good following lines-missed second control by about 30m-third I was surprised to find a 'road' leading to it halfway through-it wasn't on the map. 4th is the toughest-brambles and inpenatrable vegetation made going sloow.
Not a bad present for my 48th birthday. Would have liked longer routes, but the forest is only so big...and navagable.

| Orienteering (map reading) 46:02 [2]* 8 km (5:45 / km) | |
| ahr:146 max:161 rhr:56 slept:8.0 weight:78.5kg (sick) shoes: Adidas Trail Response |
| Ran a new route and used a map to follow progress. I find it really helpful to practice reading the compass and adjusting the map with my location on the map. I'm a rank newbie, so every little bit helps. Quite different from my competitive running days. Probably coming down with the cold that everybody else in the family has....:-(I've been actively denying the symptoms the last couple of days)
