Michigan Adventure Race Silver Lake Edition
Travelled with Scott and Cris.
Great racing peeps in a SPECTACULAR venue. Loved, loved this race. Mostly on foot to maximize points--I missed punching one of the points, which was a bummer. Scott and consulted the nav, and when I lead it went well and felt great! We had 3 points on foot, which I bobbled the last which was so frustrating. Then, on to the bikes to paddle board to the submerged CP, three of us worked together to get it out of the water to punch. Then on to the boat. So beautiful with the woods to the east and dunes to the west. Crossed paths with so many I can't even name them all off!
Then on bikes to the middle O section, with great topo bobbled on 10 (wrong hilltop) but carefully spiked the rest. Then back on bikes for bike O, and even left a couple of points because we really wanted to hit the dunes! Great bike ride out there. Did very well until we got to the pine grove and overshot, lost confidence in getting back in time, and bailed.
Great race, so fun to see so many AR friends out there, and felt strong at the finish. Just one niggly cramp in the dunes.
1st Place Female (out of 2 :) )

Event: SMOC Chilson
11 AM
Orienteering 2:23:40 6.58 mi (21:50 / mi) +259m 19:27 / mi

Ah Chilson, you confuse me so. Even though I have been out there, I still get turned around every time. I have to force myself to write this up so I can learn from my mistakes. The good news is that the new brace was awesome. I would get to running and then think "Wait! Slow down! Ankle!"
Going to 1 I don't know what happened and still can't figure it out from my tracks. I landed on a trail I didn't seem to recognize, but I bumped around to another trail and found it. Just waaaay to long...then I exited too far to the east and again...wrong trail. Grrrr....Brenda and I decided to team up a little to 3, 4 and 5 then we got separated. Confused on which trail to meet up at, but I was worried I was slowing her down anyway.
6, 7, 8 and 9 went pretty clean, I had poor route choice to 9 and 10, trails got me AGAIN. Then to 11 I just got all confused, and realized I had not gone far enough. Thought I was counting hills OK, but I didn't. Then on to 12 and my exit strategy bombed. I didn't unfold the map to see the marsh, so I had to climb over marsh junk and go further south.
I sure hope Igor has some training courses in mind and I think Mr. Dubs might let me get some good training in on the Pinckney map. Improving on the orienteering, for me, is so so so slow....at least it is a relatively fun process.
The woods were super wet too...bonked my head on high deadfall (was reading my map and walked right into it) and slid down a log and banged my elbow. I should change my AP handle to StumbleTrip.
