| Orienteering (long) 1:14:42 [2] ***** 7.1 km (10:31 / km) | |
| spiked:3/7c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| I wanted a course with long legs, so that was what I designed. I think it was about 7k, so there were some pretty long legs in there. Hard to spike such a leg; definitely possible to do better than I did. Found my concentration slipping constantly in the middle. After that it was downhillier, which was easier on my body so I was thinking a bit better. I think being exhausted from Saturday and Sunday was one of my problems, but I also need to break each leg up so that I'm not trying to think about a whole 1.4k at once.
People seemed to really like this course even though there were only 2 legs <800m long. I found it to be good practice for something I really suck at - concentrating without a control every 200m. | ||

| Training Camp Postmortem
I think everyone had a great time, and got in a lot of orienteering. Probably next time we should schedule time for discussion and course analysis. This weekend we had maybe a little too much running, not leaving enough time to really make the best of it with some post-run discussion. In addition to not being on the schedule, it also wasn't something we pushed enough. But overall I think it was a quality weekend and certainly turned out better than I ever expected. Having awesome hosts and great company for camping, eating, and touring the lake really turned this into one of the best O-weekends I can remember. Thanks everyone! | ||

Sunday May 27 | ||
| Orienteering 24:13 [5] ***** 3 km (8:04 / km) | |
| spiked:11/16c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Ross's short course. Was supposed to be a sprint but I neglected to print 1:5000 maps... Anyways, good hard run, 3 or 4 minutes ahead of the Saeger sisters, although I don't know how hard they were pushing. Had some mishaps, some worse than others. Was getting some good map reading in though, and I definitely thought about the next leg before arriving at the control for each leg. Also had some good exit technique on a lot of controls. | ||
| Orienteering (route choice) 42:23 [3] ***** 4.35 km (9:45 / km) | |
| 7c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| I don't remember what I did on some of these legs (speaking on Monday) but I remember feeling good about a lot of them. Had great map contact. | ||
| Orienteering (control picking) 24:00 [4] ***** 2.88 km (8:20 / km) | |
| spiked:10/11c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Another short course by Ross. Good fun, but really tired by the end of the day. | ||

| Event: CSU Training Weekend (Pawtuckaway) | ||
| Orienteering (streamering) 40:00 [1] ***** 2.1 km (19:03 / km) | |
| spiked:6/9c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Hanging the first 9 streamers for the attackpoint course at the training camp. Woods were gorgeous. | ||
| Orienteering (streamering) 1:03:00 [2] ***** 4.1 km (15:22 / km) | |
| spiked:18/22c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Streamering for the memory-o course. Really rocky terrain. Mosquitoes were abysmal. I thought people were going to have a lot more trouble with this course than they apparently had. Kind of wish I had done the memory bit myself now. | ||
| running warm up/down (trail/road) 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Coming back from streamering. | ||
| Orienteering (line-o) 1:11:00 [2] ***** 5 km (14:12 / km) | |
| spiked:4/5c shoes: Adidas Novas | ||
| Line-o designed by Ross with some streamers set by Alexei. Ross estimated at 5k. Lost contact 3 times, the first two not so bad, the third, really bad. I subsequently got lost there again on Sunday. | ||
