Orienteering race 1:07:42 [3]
Stars Kick Start. The rain cleared just in time! I got disoriented on one of the dog bones and Meghan helped set me straight, and then I messed up 5 pretty good, but gave myself a good old kick in the pants after that (using motivational sayings like "C'mon Sally!?!") and the rest went smoothly. In the grand scheme of how my orienteering races usually go, I'd say this was a 7.5.
We killed time between the races at the Old Marina, where a few people exercised self-restraint but most of took it for the team downing big ass burgers and beer, knowing it was gonna hurt a bit later. Worth it!

Starry Night. I wish we had more of these...so much fun!
Kelly ran this one with me and it was nice to have the company in the dark! A few questionable route choices and a couple of times in the maze of trails that I thanked for the universe for what felt like stumbling on the control. Definitely less precise than the day race, but still great fun!

Running 30:00 [3]
Around Valens CA before it got dark. I took Earl there on an impromptu adventure there last night! I thought it was really cool that I had the place to myself and got to choose any site I wanted, but I did get a bit spooked by the idea later in the evening. I had crazy dreams about raccoons attacking my van and waking up in the middle of a carnival!

Running 50:00 [3]
Mrs. Tiny, Allison and I had an absolutely lovely run from my place down to the Grand River Trail and then to Bingeman's and back. There was a Christmas light display that we ran around and I wish I had my camera as there were many entertaining photo opportunities that we couldn't take advantage of.

Event: Raid The Hammer
10 AM
Orienteering race 2:24:00 [3]
Half Raid with Stephania and James. It was going to be the longest that Stephania had been away from her baby and James' first adventure running event so we thought that the half raid was plenty!
I had a lovely pre-race evening with Earl at Fifty Point Conservation Area. It was a bit chilly but I won't complain about camping in November! It was only 20 minutes from the race which allowed for a nice, leisurely morning.
It was a lovely day for the race and everything went relatively smoothly. One or two questionable route choices (such as to 1, where I made us climb up and down a hill for no reason), but we were fairly efficient and had no difficulty finding anything. Just a plain ol' great day out in the woods!
