Event: QOC Jug Bay
 

Short advanced course at Jug Bay. Orienteering today might not have been the best idea, as I was getting overheated just waiting for the start, but I (perhaps foolishly) decided to push through one last event for the season. Had plenty of trouble concentrating, and lost several minutes in errors on the way to 1, 2, and 3 (mindlessly jogging without paying attention to the scale so I overshot my attackpoint on #1, poor compass work to #2, failing to make/keep to a plan and then aimlessly wandering around on #3). Took a rest for a couple minutes to make sure I wasn't getting too overheated, then managed to not make too many errors through the rest of the course, although I was walking quite slowly. Definitely should have taken some water, and my sides started to cramp up between 6 and 7. Glad I only registered for a couple of the days during the French 5-days, and it seems that opting for the shortest advanced course each day was a good choice, but I'm certainly hoping that I'm able to remain a little more focused so I can at least minimize the time lost to silly errors.

Event: Boston Sprint Camp 2016
 

Mostly laps, with some treading water, and an attempt to do some aqua-jogging, but I mostly just looked like a wounded penguin so I went back to swimming laps before I embarrassed myself any further.

Some jogging around the track while I waited for J to be done at work since we carpooled in this morning. Had a bit of a headache, which I hoped that physical activity would help with, but no such luck.

Another warm and humid afternoon, and my legs just weren't really feeling it this evening. Ended up being a slow jog with some walking as I struggled to loosen up during the first mile or so. Felt a little better after some stretching when I got to the school, but still not overly peppy.
