z-man better watch out - your fitness is decent, and as your orienteering experience continues to widen, and you continue to refine your technical skills with use of that experience, you'll keep getting better. Keep the focus on orienteering, and you just might earn a WOC team slot before Erin's Jr's pass us all...
Thanks for the encouragement, Wyatt. I should probably clarify that the motivation for the previous note was that I lost a bet. My ambitions are still intact, though. Great racing with you this weekend!
re: splashing incident.
Just doing my job to keep you cool. ;-)
The way things went down this weekend, I wouldn't count anyone out. Just imaging getting scalped by both Swampfox and Hammer on same course?
