Paddled the Canoe O with Siobhan. I had a great time. It felt good to change the workout medium from legs to arms. We had a little miscommunication at the start that cost us some major time, otherwise we could have been up towards the top. I look forward to more Canoe-Os!

I decided to run an additional course after my poor showing on the blue. I hit the controls pretty well, I was a bit out of contact when I found the second control but I knew I was in the right area, still a bad error. After that the race flowed well.

I had a pretty shakey run. I messed up the first control, I was right on my way to the control but just panicked. The mistake was a combination of being unused to the map, taking a bad route choice and lack of confidence. I then proceeded to make a continuous flow of errors at most controls. I did get it together towards the end but I still wasn't running very fast. What awesome terrain!!! I think that Pawtuckaway would be a great place for a long training camp.

Ran the Vampire O with Victoria. We did well, got vamped once and then evaded the vampiric freaks by sneaking in the backway at the end. We hit all of the controls. My first Vampire O was a blast!!!
