orienteering 39:10 [3] 4.86 km (8:03 / km) +222ft 7:32 / km
shoes: x-talon 212 #2
Day 4. 3.8 km, lots of downhill.
Worse than ever. And I was really determined to orienteer well. But it didn't happen.
But a great day so far socially (except for getting kicked out of the foot-O meeting).
1. Met leader in my class, passed on greetings from Mike Waddington.
2. Renewed acquaintance with four others in my class, including Ivar Helgesen, famous maker of base maps when they were used.
3. And got the early scoop on the next World Cup event(s) to be held in the USA, probably in 3 years.
More when I get back to my laptop. Typing on the phone is painfully slow, though I am improving....

Report from the IOF meetings --
1. Went to the open IT meeting with Jeff. Presentation #1 was about "Live Center" -- Gps, web TV, live results. Seems like so far they have 1,200 paying customers. And others things were said, which I couldn't really hear. So I left Jeff there on his own.
2. And headed to the Foot-O Commission meeting. Where I stayed about 10 seconds until being told it was a closed meeting. WTF? Seriously, what can be so sensitive that they don't want anyone else there? Seems to me to be the perfect recipe for making bad decisions.
Though certainly in keeping with the IOF's general lack of openness and communication.

Alex after she finished --
And Ali, well, the Czech woman finished and down she went, and Ali finished a moment later and down she went. And then after a little bit the Czech started looking at her map, and Ali saw that and rolled over and they started chatting and it must have been the better part of five minutes before they got up. No hurry really, they were the second and third finishers and no one else came for quite a while.
And my map from yesterday --
