orienteering (Ocup ) 1:20:00 [2]

I almost feel bad calling this 'orienteering' but it was my intentions.

Pre warned that this was going to be a tough area to navigate so I went into it nervous. Reminded to take lots of bearings and ignor the smaller trails.

Plan of attack in the first star: a,d,c,b,f ...reality: a, tried for d with no success. Tried for f. Yikes. Back to a and mucked about f, b and back to the finish. I didn't even attempt map 2.

I did learn that my bearing will only take me somewhat close to the cp and that once I'm close, I need to learn to use the features rather than rely completely on my bearing...man...c'est la vie!

12 PM

orienteering 35:00 [3]

Totally determined to gain my confidence back I asked Bob to take me back out and successfully find some controls. Now I'll sleep tonight!

C • We've all had those days! 11

Felt like March snow but snow nonetheless!

I almost bailed on this run but Double_Down wasn't having any of it...partypooper.

Ended with coffee and donuts, which is never a bad thing...now it's time to surprise the shit out of getawaystix!

orienteering 1:38:00 [3]

Beautiful snowy morning at the Ocup Kick off. Endurance Ocup set by DD11 gave us good bang for our buck! Box 1, I dropped A and B. Quite the hiccup with E (I was clearly on the wrong hilltop) and with F, I was worried about getting tangled up in the fence so I detoured back passing D then onto the trail. Meh.

Hurried past the intermittent trail to 12...oops then set out for 13a but quickly changed plan when I realized 13b would be a better first choice. 2nd box I dropped a&b and almost forgot about g only to catch an additional hill repeat. Nice face plant in the second box coming down the ski hill but unfortunately I had nobody to share it with.

Thanks, DD11 for all your hard work and for the excellent door prizes. According to Funderstorm, I got some tasty brew!!

C • Well done! 2

trail running 2:09:00 [3] 21.29 km (6:04 / km)

With DD11. He gave me the gentle pat on the back when I bailed and cried. I'm sure under his breath it sounded more like "suck it up, Nancy..." Sorry for being so dramatic!

Beautiful weather, slightly overdressed.

C • You haven't seen over dramatic.. 1

Funderstorm - I finally downloaded 1989. It's top shelf. I listened to the album twice and still can't decide on my favourite tune. Obviously Shake it Off is up there but How you get the girl may be the forerunner?

C • YES!!!!!! 1

At Kelso. First half with Bob and Ursula then we dropped Bob only to be too chicken to go much further in the dark since a pack of deer startled us.

C • It was really spooky out tonight! 2

Event: Raid the Hammer Adventure Run

9 AM

orienteering (Raid the Hammer) 5:02:00 [3] 31.0 km (9:45 / km)

Scooped up a team on Thursday since Rob had his appendix out the day before.

Great day, out longer than we bargained for...mostly due to cp 7 - we fell into the temptation of the flagging tape from a possible huntcamp (I think we lost about 16 minutes!). That and the matrix (finding C caused some unnecessary climbs haha)

Great climbing and good time on the legs :) even with long tights my legs are pretty scratched up! I enjoyed the relay but not so much walk the line (Bob said its because I struggled with the nav...that may be true...)

Thanks, Hammer & Anvil! For all your efforts - what a great day in the woods!
