| Orienteering training with John Campbell at Hickory Run. The beginning involved discussion of US Champs courses from ~3 weeks ago, which was followed by a control-moving sprint-O. My team (Jeremy, Julia and myself) came second to Clem-Angelica duo. |

| Hickory run orienteering training in the afternoon involved a line-O (a pretty lame countouring exercise on a featureless rocky and overgrown hillside), followed by a 10-control course using a contour-only map. The latter was a much more interesting, although a rather difficult exercise. |

| Night-O. Definitely a successful venture, given the dense vegetation and the fact that my light broke during the course. Very luckily, the black-out happened exactly at the first control, which allowed me to stumble back to the camp, then to the cabin, and find a replacement light bulb in the dark, and then continue on the course. I guess this adventure had to have taken 20-30 min? Not sure. I can't imagine what I would have done if the light went out between controls or any other place on the course. |

| "Intervals" again. It is official--all machines seem to have been programmed to have a max time of 25 min--arghh!... |

| Got to do some unintended intervals, as the machines were programmed for a max of 25 min, of which I was trying to make 30 min by manually upping the speed of the mandatory 5 min cooldown... |
