Event: O' Series #3/WIOL #3 -- North SeaTac Park
 

JV Boys Course was a great run. Time was 24:11 and the total run was about 3.5 k. I feel good about it, but the results aren't out yet. We'll see how it goes. Update: aaaand I lost by 6 seconds. Just goes to show you that when you think you have a good time, someone beats you by a hair, and when you are least expecting it, you win. Man, it really stinks though considering I know of about a billion places I could have made that up. I guess the other guy just smoked. He had a ton of red/blue splits on Winsplits and found the hardest control when it counted. He made 3 mistakes and still got me.

Did Public Course 3 with Grandpa. Took him orienteering for the first time and we walked it together. He liked it a lot. Got 43 min. flat. Not bad. I think he's hooked :).

Overall it was a great workout. Today's course 4 felt longer than the first two meets even though it was 200 m less as the crow flies. Maybe it was just the street crossing that threw me off.

C • Penalty?? 2

Course 4 - Splits

Did an hour of swimming today for the snorkeling safety class @ school. That counts!

Did some tough strength work to get back in shape to where I was after football.

Did 10 sets of 100 yds. sprinting as part of workout. Don't want to overrun controls on Saturday though, so I'll run carefully.
