I am behind on everything - work, AP posting, things at home, NAOC stuff, etc., etc.

It was a good weekend overall with some not so fun bits interlaced between lots of fun bits. Will eventually get around to posting things.

Go Valerie for beating me at every race this weekend - and not because I was so terrible but because she really did well.

The DVOA relay team did its best but its best was not quite good enough for the win. But I think we surprised some folks with how close it was.

US Relay Champs - DVOA did not have enough people for a second team and instead of getting on a random team, decided to just go find a few controls on the Red course which you were allowed to do as a solo in the mass start. Picked a route that 1) kept me out of anything nasty looking and 2) kept me away from any spectator controls where I might confuse things. Enjoyed myself and walked a lot - knees not feeling very good.

Then major cheering for DVOA. Too bad the CSU and DVOA teams had the same forking so that it came down to a sprint at the end. Very proud of Zac, Vadim, Clem and Wyatt who gave it their all and made things close.

middle course - no real errors, just incredibly slow.

Night-O. An okay outing for the most part but not moving very fast. Knees were pretty bad. Worst though was the second to last leg where I just could not plow my way through all the crap. Honestly felt like sitting down and crying only a few hundred meters from the end because I just couldn't get out of the unmapped crap. I guess I was physically beat by that time and couldn't push through.

I liked the idea of the night-o on Friday night very much.

Walked the sprint course just to get a feel for the map and terrain.

Morning hike in the Wiss.

Weird day exercise-wise. I usually do the core dvd first thing before heading in to school but I was planning to work at home and so thought I'd just do it later in the morning. Round about 4:00 I realize that I never got around to it and that TNT was coming up but it was such a gorgeous day that I could not see going in to the basement to do the DVD and then running in the dark. So decided to go for a run in the afternoon and do the DVD during TNT.
