| Event: UNO Camping Weekend

 | Orienteering 1:44:39 [2] ***** 8.6 km (12:10 / km) +360m 10:04 / km | |
| spiked:8/18c slept:6.0 shoes: VJ pro I |
| Blue course at Pawtuckaway. Went out kind of fast and made a few small errors on the first loop, then got tired and slowed down, but had a lack of focus and discipline for the remainder of the course. Lots of hesitation and loss of map contact. |
| Orienteering (night-o) 1:00:00 [2] ***** | |
| spiked:5/7c shoes: VJ pro I |
| Well, things went alright as long as the train was around, but generally I don't like being around people, and pretty soon I was losing the train and losing contact as well. Went out to relocate on the road, then picked up 5, 6 and 7, started out for 8, but got fed up trying to avoid the pond/marsh, and decided to head back.

| The usual neighborhood loop in Raleigh.
Still feeling a little sick, but much better than yesterday. Definitely have lost a lot of fitness. Had some stomach problems early on, but that usually happens on the first run after a period of inactivity, so I just ran through it.
Right quad has been feeling pretty good the past few days, I think because I haven't been walking on it much. Had some minor problems from it and also the left quad during and after the run, so I stretched out pretty well afterwards. It was giving me some real problems when I was in Europe and spending the better part of a lot of days walking and standing on hard surfaces. Orienteering and hiking don't seem to be problematic, though. |

| slept:10.0 weight:155lbs (sick) |
| Well, after a somewhat exhausting series of flights, I returned to Raleigh on Friday night. I spent most of yesterday feeling hugely sleep-deprived and sick, yet not really being able to sleep. Anyway, I'll put some more specific comments on WUOC at the appropriate dates, but some general thoughts:
1. WUOC was incredibly motivating. I'd like to go again, but I certainly won't bother if I'm not at a much higher level physically. I navigated pretty well, really, but I'm just a lot slower than those people.
2. It wasn't a great idea to start the trip so long before the competition (~3 weeks). I'm sure it could have been different, but sight seeing is fairly non-conducive to training (witness 10lbs lost over the course of the 6 weeks. I'm pretty sure that wasn't all fat.)
3. Salami for breakfast just doesn't agree with me... |
