orienteering race 1:08:52 [4]***
shoes: o-ing shoes
Well didn't have that great of a run. I used all of the collecting features as my attackpoints. that probably isn't the best thing to do but at lest it worked.

1 i found fine because we used that control the day before
2- I'm a little bad becuase I was going to try pace couting on a bearing but i ran into a control we used the day before first and i couldn't find it on the map but knew which way the power line was from it. so I ran to the power line. and of course as soon as i come into the finish and look at that leg I find where that other control was, the red line conecting 1 and 2 ran right over it. I was on a perfect bearing. oh well.

actually the rest of the course goes kind of the same way. I tried working on something wasn't totally sure where I was so when I thought I went to far so I just kept going to the collecting feature and went in again.

orienteering 2:30:00 [3]***
shoes: o-ing shoes
Did the advanced training at DVOA's Hickory Run training weekend. Was a lot of fun and very helpful! The first thing we did was look at my dad's day1 course from the US Champs. then we went out and did a couse that Tom O. set up. that was really helpful. I didn't really learn anything new but i found out what i have to work on. I have to work on aming off and pace counting. oh and so i don't totally forget my pace count for on the road is 35 and in the woods 44. (now will i remember i put it here wenh i forget it probably not.) One thing on that course i was proud of though is my conturing skills. they have gotten a lot better! I think it is from all that time spent at french creak with my dad.

I also got to train a little bit with Samantha Sager after lunch. That was a lot of fun and very helpful. We went to about 3 controls they used for the faresta. And she told me what she thinks about during each part of a leg. We did one section with aming off and pace counting and for some reason this time it worked! We also talked about JWOC and training.

It was just nice to talk to a top female orienteer who is on the USA team. Thank you Samantha!!
orienteering race (Night-O) 32:07 [4]***
shoes: o-ing shoes
Did my first intermediate night-o course. It was a lot of fun! I was a little nervouse before i started but after i turned over the map I found out it wasn't going to be as hard as i thought.

it was a lot of chris crossing through camp. the only two i really had trouble on was 5 and 10. I was Extremly close to both of them but for 5 I was on the wrong side of the route stock and actually not really sure I was in the right place because the route stock was covered in fallen branches. and # 10 I was just a little to far down the rentrant. but over all a good race. And I was only 9 seconds behind first place which was the Sager sisters.

running 20:00 [4] 1.75 mi (11:25 / mi)
shoes: brooks s257
since today is one of the days we get out early (2:50) I went for a run after school with my mom. Went nice and easy down to the trail partly so i stayed with my mom. after we crossed the tracks i picked it up a lot. I didn't quite do full speed because i knew i wouldn't be able to make it back, but i'm guessing maybe around 75%. went to the end of the path and turned around. on the way back to get a little bit of hill training in i ran up this long kinda steep ramp and then down some stairs on the other side. got to our exit from the path just as my mom did (i ran past them to the bridge and ran back) we walked back up to the house as our cool down.

house to turn around (locast point) 7:46
locast point to bridge 6:33
sprint from bridge to exit 1:10
cool down walk back to the house 4:29

I think i did ok. I would really like to be able to run this route in around 17 minutes by the end of 2006.

Monday Sep 11
