Night-O sprints at Prospect Hill set by Alex. I haven't done night-o in the actual dark in a while (it is usually cloudy enough to get a nice orange glow from the city lights), and this required a good amount of concentration. I started out by almost instantaneously face planting. This wouldn't have been so bad except that there was a nice log with a nice pointy branch right where my right knee landed. Perhaps the god of bruises just decided I needed to even things up since my left leg is completely covered in bruises from the MCB skit. (One of which involved enough trauma to embed denim from my jeans into my leg. Spending 30 minutes picking denim fibers out of a very bruised cut in my leg is quite low on my list of possible things to do on a Saturday night.) Anyway, I hobbled back to the start, determined that I was not bleeding and that the pain was decreasing and started again at a much slower pace and with my light aimed more towards the ground. Things went pretty well, albeit slowly until number 4, where I somehow managed to jog right past the control without seeing it and wander around for a while before re-attacking off the trail and finding it. After that, I slowed down even more, although I didn't really have any more major problems.

Sprint 2 went really well and was a lot of fun, although my knee started hurting again during this sprint. I started sprint 3 with about 15-20 minutes left before Ian and I needed to leave, so I decided to just keep an eye on my watch. Unfortunately, the codes for controls 1 and 2 were switched, so when I got to 1, I thought something terrible had happened with my navagation (not sure how...) and since I was cutting the time close anyway and my knee was hurting, just decided to jog back to the start. It was a lot of fun, and Presto had an awesome time!
