slept:9.0 weight:180lbs (rest day)
Happy to be home in my own bed. The four days in Canada were excellent! GHO put on a great event and made me feel so welcome. They keep thanking me for helping out with the epunching, but my help was just a small part of the huge amount of work which goes into putting on an A Meet.
I am pleased that I made this my first Canadian O experience even if the terrain didn't play to my strengths, whatever those are. :)

Orienteering race (Wine-O ADCB) 1:41:33 [3] *** 5.9 km (17:13 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Icebugs Sky Blue
Had planned this to be a low-key race, and I suggested to Lisa that we go out together. Then I found out there was forking, so it was not to be. BUT we had been assigned the same sequence of maps, so it was meant to be after all!! We took informal turns leading and navigated almost flawlessly until the last map when we walked almost all the way into the quarry. But, it was cool to see the high walls - well, that's out story and we're sticking to it.
Thanks to Lisa for teaming up to me.

Orienteering race (NAOC Classic) 1:48:50 [4] *** 6.1 km (17:50 / km)
shoes: Poison Ice Bugs
Better day - I finished - though I ended up +1 from the top 10 I was aiming for. Great weather, organization, and hospitality. AND I got to slog through some water and marshes too!!

Trail Run warm up/down 14:38 [2] 1.0 mi (14:38 / mi)
slept:5.0 shoes: Poison Ice Bugs
To the start. Ran quite a bit of it.
Orienteering race (NAOC Middle) 1:35:30 [3] *** 4.3 mi (22:13 / mi)
shoes: Poison Ice Bugs
I guess this was orienteering since I did make my way to the finish...eventually. Turned my 3.5 km course into 4.3 miles, and I didn't even finish, though heading back from where I did took me in the vicinity of the rest of my controls. At least it was a lovely day in the woods. Just wish I had brought my brain along, as well as any of that knowledge I have gained over the last year. But both were in short supply today. Ah, well, tomorrow is another day. And it was a great day in the woods!

Off to Milton via Buffalo. I am officially excited!! Past experience says I need to calm down before I race, or I really mess up badly.
Orienteering race (NAOC Sprint) 19:01 [5] *** 2.5 km (7:36 / km) +10m 7:27 / km
shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 1
Warmed up a little beforehand, though probably should have done a little more. Ran as hard as I could. The map was so easy to read. All the buildings made sense. It was a blast. I finished 3rd F45-54 behind two Canadians, one being the hard working registrar, Bash.

Misc 50:00 [2]
slept:4.5 weight:180lbs shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 2
JJ, wall sits, lunges, some running, and I did abs near the end when they were running.
Another session without Chris, but probably just as well since my left hip is very painful this morning. Did not wake up until 20 minutes before class, so the Advil didn't have time to kick in.

Note
Whew, a very physical day of moving lots of boxes at work. Followed that up with mowing the lawn after work. Now 3 loads of laundry later, I am officially wiped out.
