orienteering 1:20:05 [3] 8.0 mi (10:01 / mi)
Day Two. Met Lori and Berman's at 8:15 at Bear Hill. distributed the epunching gear from my car and went out to set some flags and water in the south end of the map. Came back and helped out at the start/finish a little bit. It was cool to see so many people at both events.
after things were clicking along I went out on the Blue. Course was really fun, I had some mistakes, but the biggest was on Control 4. I came in off the stone wall and got way too far along the hillside, I eventually got to the flag and noticed that the code was wrong! yikes. I didn't know how to fix it, because It was supposed to be 106 but read 105. 105 wasn't on my map so I couldn't just go and swap. Luckily I ran into Alex on the next control and she explained where the errant control was, and I took a break from my course to go and swap the velcro tags on the stands. that took me about 14 minutes and then I went on with my course.
After the meet was all over we again split up the flags, I went south and grabbed the far set and everything was cool. Second day down :) I think we're ready for another A-meet. How much harder could it be?
It was cool to see Dan Walker again. Hope that he comes fully back into the fold. If Daddy-o keeps making the drive down to hang out with his Ski Coach we might get lucky more often!
