orienteering 25:00 [3]
ARDF training at the Blue Hills with Les, Lori, Ian and Presto. Spent some time going over last week's maps, then Les placed 5 of the 80 Meter transmitters out in a small area ( no flags, just batteries and wire) and we went out to find them. I went first and immediately forgot that unless you press the button on the side of the receiver the direction of the beacon is actually the direction of the minimal signal. So I chased off into the forest on a 90 degree error for a couple of minutes.... then I remembered. After that it was much easier and way fun. Just short sprints 60 second dash towards the sound and then try to find the little glimmer of blue that is the battery casing.
took me 5 cycles to get them all but the first cycle I was being an idiot and the last cycle I was just looking for beacon number 1.... so I'm getting better. Lori got them all faster still so I have some more ground to make up :)

Trail run 1:35:00 [3] 8.5 mi (11:11 / mi)
Trail run with Sam. pretty relaxed pace, legs a bit fragile from the race yesterday. CSU meeting at Mark and Pia's place, and Pia had maps to copy and a course if desired out on the Hale map. Sam took a map and ran on the trails close to the controls in order on the course. I just padded along behind her. After running there was some pretty stellar food and company.
Mark should get an award for his grilling.
We talked about mapping priorities for next year and what kind of events we should run. We have a training camp coming up in July ( open invite for patuckaway july 11th weekend) and discussed a couple more C level meets in the fall. For one of the sunday C-meets I plan on putting on a middle distance course for the saturday. One advanced course and one beginner course only. The other event that I was excited about organizing was a trail race in the fells. good way to make some money for more maps while publicizing our club. Plus trail races are fun. Maybe in September... but I've got a lot to learn about putting on a trail race... got to start sometime.
