| Just finished marking my map when the mass start took off. And I wasn't dressed or warmed up. I decided to visit the nearest 4 controls and then come back to change into O clothes and do some real orienteering. That took 30 minutes. Then I gave myself 2 hours: I decided that instead of trying to compete in the scoreO, I would pick legs that I knew I usually had trouble with. Such legs as going over a flattish ridge to pick out the correct re-entrant system, and moving down a branching spur. Had a fine time in a fine forest on a fine map. Leg was getting sore by the end. |

| First time joggin in two weeks. One of my favorite runs: on a golf course by the light of a full moon. This golf course was perfectly flat, custom-made for a comeback. |

| Event: OCIN Camp Friedlander

| Orienteering 1:24:30 [2] *** 6 km (14:05 / km) | |
| spiked:17/17c slept:9.0 weight:174lbs (injured) shoes: Black and Yellow XC spikes |
| Since I couldn't run, I wanted to do something to make it more interesting. My first idea was to spend the time to #1 memorizing the map, and never looking at it again the rest of the course. On the way to #2, I realized that it was going to be too hard, so I revised the rule to allow looking at the map for any leg except the present leg. This was ok until the long leg 9-10, but that was too easy to memorize, so for that leg I followed the red line exactly (no compass). After #10, my leg felt fine and I orienteered normally a la gimpee. |
