Walking 46:15 1.75 mi (26:26 / mi) +56m 24:03 / mi
ahr:99 max:140 shoes: Inov8 Roclite 319
How many really good orienteers does it take to navigate a yellow course to the start? Several, if you are largely off the map, and when you get on the map you are on trails that were deleted for the exercise and a decent chunk of topography is now a gravel pit.
Orienteering 48:41 2.52 mi (19:19 / mi) +161m 16:07 / mi

I really enjoyed this course - I thought I didn't use my compass enough, but then I realized how much I rely on it when I've been sloppy to clean up. Huge thanks to Brenda B for being at #1 as I was about to overshoot it but noticed her bright jersey. Otherwise okay, learned that Igor was waaaaay faster over the hill down in the SW portion than I was going around.

Igor did really well, tying Kevin in the first loop. I charged aggressively to #1, going straight while Syd started on the trail. I didn't realize we had differing forks to #2, so I was surprised when it got silent. I was still ahead to #3, and was quiet to #4 when I started to hear a rustle...crap. Together to hit #5, but she spotted it on the rather green knoll and was kind to point it out to me, as I spun in circles on the knoll looking. Botched #6 by pausing at a saddle instead of recognizing the saddle - Rob and Sydney not pausing was also a clue. Saw them punch 6 but they floated up to 7 and that was the end of staying in touch. I hope I got the right #9.
Going fast for those first 6 minutes was really fun, I miss it!

Maze was super fun. Seems like a great way to reuse areas that are a bit burnt from hosting or overuse.

Canoeing 55:13 3.43 mi (16:06 / mi) +5m 16:02 / mi
ahr:148 max:176 weight:223.6lbs shoes: Pirate Canoe
Single blade practice with cc on Phoenix Lake which does not have the best put in ever but is sure conveniently located very close to her office and practically driving straight off the freeway for me. Bit slower than double blade but got a little better over the session. Couldn't find a way up river, seemed a bit shallow or had trees down on our options. Fun times

Note
On one hand, looking at LiveLox, I kick myself for not balancing some things better for route choice, argh it seems so obvious now. And Green should have had a better finish than it did (maybe a little pick section in that great stuff around #10 R/G).
On the other hand, not gonna beat myself up, as it was 20% of the season! Also, design issues aside, since a three hour scout + four hang hang worked, maybe I can set more often. That is somewhat minimal time investment.
