orienteering 1:21:00 [3]
saturday was absolutely gorgeous!!!! thierry set a 2-person relay course and I got to run with Matthieu which was definitely not a stacked team despite what others might say. There were 3 loops to start which everyone had to run and i did really well on all of them. legs were shaky but my orienteering was pretty good and the pressure of not letting down france kept me going up the hills. :P The last loop was only 800m and the two leading teams of Jean-Baptiste and Matthieu went out at the same time. It was so intense but Jean-Baptiste came in first with Matthieu just a little ways behind. The start was really well placed at the top of a hill so that the spectators could see runners coming in and it was easy to find for runners coming in :P we could also just listen for Ross cheering though :P definitely a very exciting race!!! :)
12:48 first lap
12:06 second lap
and then i forgot to take splits after that.

in the afternoon we ran the men's woc short distance race. i totally blew up control 1 by wandering around in the green before Jon caught up to me. :S i was flustered going to 2 and was walking the fine line of messing that one up too but i actually made it there alright. after that it went great. the rocky ground was icky to run on and i bruised my ankle on the way to 11 :( it was definitely not a stellar preformance in woc but thierry sure did well!! it was pretty amazing to see him blast out of the woods and sprint down the "finish chute".
i have splits but 1-3 are consolidated because i was more worried about finding the controls than getting splits.
