Event: Buffalo Orienteering Festival
 

Throughout the Buffalo festival I focused on keeping a system in my mind. In the middle I was on top of almost all legs except for two. Interesting both were similar mistakes. To nine I was overly precautious and aimed a little too far off on my bearing. As a result I made a parallel error with the boulders and went down to the gully too early. I lost 30 seconds from the resulting uncertainty. To twelve I did the same thing, running slowly from fear of missing when I should have run fast and confidently knowing that I would either hit or miss and then quickly reorient off of the trails. Lost entire minute on this one. Route Gadget for this race is pretty good with Jordan, Robbie and Mike selected.

I was over precautious in the sprint. I reached control 12 and realized that the race was over and I had not been running fast enough. I sped up and lost contact; 5 seconds on 13 and 15 seconds on 14.

Running with Liam on his Unicylce.

Wow that was a long bike ride! All the way to Timm Road and eventualy back again. Super nice ride. Going to be tough commuting that distance everyday. Just under 40 minutes one way.

Junior training Session, control taking excercise. Map wasn't very good.

LaPeche. Not very good race. Made large error on 4 and fell in a stream. I was too excited at the beginning of the race and not focused on my compass enough.

Searching for cousin.
