Yay for Orienteering season again! Did the Orange course at Bishop, and lovely Tom, Ali's friend, came with. What a trooper! He did white, then yellow and then orange! Lovely guy.
Anyway, good thing he was with me because I thought 1 was to the north, and it was actually 11! I missed the second digit! I knew he was going to be good luck! I could tell immediately that he learned the beeline way of things, which was great. We took the path to 1, then I asked how he felt about bushwhacking to the road. Whoa! That area got a bit overgrown since I last stomped through! I thought for sure I had gone off bearing and I insisted we needed to go southish, then I realized I must have missed the trail. I see on the QR that we came right out at it! Then traversed the trail down to 2.
On to 3! I realized to teach someone, you have to pretty much commit to a plan and make sure you know how to explain as you are going along how the plan works out. Gotta tell ya, just a little bit of pressure there! This is the first time I ever showed someone how to do it. What did I get myself into! But, at each control, we stopped to talk about the next route, ensured shared understanding, then would click off the features as we went along. Re-entrant, gully, trail, elevation, marsh...you know.
We traversed on to 5, 6, 7 then 8. Eight was a little tough, pretty thick in there and we had to double back from the path...oops! Then Tom took 9, then 10, then 11 and took it home! Go Tom! Great fun, and heard he plans to come back. Woo! Go Ali! The QR is a little rough, still don't have all the finesse to tweak it just right.
We got second place, which was great. So much fun!

Intended to be a relaxedish run. Played with the (new!) Garmin a bit to check it out. But I thought I did over 5 miles...hmmm...trying out new shoes too. Damn things wouldn't stay tied. Need more masking tape.

Did this weird thing of speed walking with doing arm lat raises with no weights. Tires the arms out when you do a lot. :) I'm sure my neighbors through I was ready to take flight. But, they are used to me now, paddles, big packs, carrying my bike, flapping arms blocks of lunges...whatever it takes.
