Event: ROC - Webster Park
 

walk dog 10:00 [1] 0.5 mi (20:00 / mi)
shoes: Yes

"Tapering" ;-)

Orienteering 1:45:00 [4] *** 4.0 mi (26:15 / mi)
shoes: Brooks - screw shoes mudders

I'm getting worse and worse at this. I need a good yellow course to soothe my broken ego.

I didn't count the number I got in score-o (12 -1 penalty), but I got so bullheaded on the last one that I was one minute late (timekeeper was generous) getting back.

()7/29/08) Ended up in 10th. Should have been smarter at the beginning and grabbed the close one.

Then on the sprint, I spent forever looking for #2. Much too technically complex (for my tired skull). The undergrowth is overgrown. Then I was getting sloppy and missed 4. (unidirectional). Should rely more on pace counting.



Best thing about being really bad on the O sprint is that it increases the time I get to report on attackpoint.

Screw shoes worked great today. Brain didn't.

Run with dog 17:00 [3] 1.8 mi (9:27 / mi)
shoes: Defyance 1 #1 (work backup)

Went faster in middle - to stretch it out a bit. Jonesy enjoyed that part.

I'm thinking of walking the score-O, then actually sprinting (if that's what you call my shuffle) the sprint.

walk dog 35:00 [1] 1.75 mi (20:00 / mi)
shoes: Yes

Had to wait for rain to stop. (almost)

Jonesy had to sit in front of fan for an hour before he was happy again.

working on house when wham-o a storm came out of nowhere. Completely soaked by the time I had gathered up the tools.

The nails had rust on them within 5 minutes.

---
Replacing decaying outdoor trim with Nylon trim. In some areas it looks good, in others it looks like.... not so good (due to lack of skills... I mean lack of tools).
