The Mega - Great fun but also a matter of endurance rather than elan. I punched everything though only the blue ones in separate boxes so I could count them later. This slowed me some what with having to turn the map over at each control to punch. The rest of my slowness I'll blame on the combination of technical terrain and fatigue.

Picking up 23 controls fairly close in (~153 to the one after the radio control).

Event: 2005 Sprint Series Finals
 

Horribly lazy of me but I left my splits at home and I'm not feeling like writing up a detailed account of my bad sprinting at Pawtuckaway. Synopsis: I need to spend more time in Scandinavian terrain and doing a rogaine a week before a big weekend of orienteering is probably not a good idea.

Round 3 - The Finals! - Splits

An extremely easy skating foray from the Georgetown waterfront out and back along the Capital Crescent trail. No sign of Nadim or Rich commuting but I imagine if I did this often enough (more often, admittedly, than is likely anytime soon) early in the evening running into one of the other would be an inevitability.

Commute and search for an apparently no longer existing sporting goods store downtown to buy a replacement brake for my in-line skates and some new pads to replace the antiques I used once more on the last visit to Ottawa. Fortunately, their other location was still where the web said it would be.

Commute. Feeling okay except for my left hamstring (felt fine in the morning then mysteriously started complaining while puttering around work) and a significant likelihood that I'll lose the nail on my right big toe (which got a standard beating plus my teammate stood on it once in the dark).
