biking 1:07:00 [3] 13.5 mi (4:58 / mi)
biking to work, and then from work to Prospect Hill for CSU training this week.
would have gotten there on time too, except I wasn't paying great attention and so I got lost near the end and had to work my way up and over the hill to get to the north side of the park.
orienteering 1:10:00 [3]
lumping this all together for now, not entirely sure how long each one took. I suppose Ed has the splits prepared somewhere, and I can get a better idea from there.
First off, the training was awesome. Alex set three sprints, using reflective controls and epunching :) Dean and Andy were already out on the first when I got there. I ran up to the start finish area (manned by Ed) and set out to try to catch up. tentative at first out in the woods, not wanting to hurt myself in the dark. I worked up to a faster speed as I realized that the woods were really nice and open! very pleasant.
Most of the problems that I had were due to confidence issues finding the controls in the circle. If you don't see the reflector but you're in the right spot you're pretty much stuck searching high and low :)
Course one took approx 17 mins
Course two and three were probably about the same actually, though I hunted a long time on course 2 for the first flag and also for the finish.
After all the racing, I went and picked up most of course one, and then course 3 working backwards with Alex.
A really nice day. good company, nice all around. got a ride back home which was also excellent.
lysende=shining ( reflekterende for reflective is kinda boring)
