| Put out more water this weekend. I'm now a member of the 10-gallon club, which I accomplished in the most awkward way possible. I put 2 gallons in the bottom section of my pack, 3 in the main compartment, and 3 on top strapped to the crossbar. When I lifted my pack, the 3 gallons that were on top slid off the pack and were dangling on one side banging me in the head. I wasn't about to set the pack down and try again, so I trudged off to the water sites with the final 2 gallons in my hand, pack askew, and 3 gallons of water bouncing against the side of my face. I didn't lose a drop though. |

| Orienteering race 1:50:30 [1] *** 7.8 km (14:10 / km) +165m 12:49 / km | |
| 20c |
| Canadian Champs Classic Day 2, Williams Lake, British Columbia
Nailed the first control, then totally screwed up #2. I meant to angle over to a fence on the right side. Hit a fence, but when I checked my compass (after running along it for awhile) it was going 90 degrees to what I expected. Turns out this was a fence on the other side of the control which took awhile to figure out. My left knee was hurting from running through the high vegetation during the weekend, so I was only able to walk/jog the rest of the course. Not running caused me to defocus and think about other things like meet planning for the US Champs, so I wasn't hitting the controls like I would have liked.

Had a pretty good race. Made a 3 minute mistake on a control in a tough area because I had no plan and didn't come up with one on the way there. Otherwise I was able to run pretty hard for most of the race.

| Rode to work and home at lunch to wait for the refridgerator guys. I followed a guy with a fluorescent green "high visibility" bicycle vest on. He blended right in with the rest of the green vegetation. Not so good for Oregon. |
