First time orienteering in the us. Red course at classic champs. I had no disasters and felt in control most of the race. Last week I was wishing my fitness would hold me back and today I got my wish. It was a LONG course and lots of long legs. I am excited to go again tomorrow.

Jogging around the model event with Boris. He gave me some good tips for this terrain. My goal for the weekend is to finish and have fun.

Ended the week on a happier, more fun note. Still not perfect, nor close to good, but found a way to enjoy the course. Ended both 5-days without mispunching or dnf-ing. :)

Well. Today was another day. Three good things from today's course:
1) I got 1 really well.
2) I finished. This one is big. I wanted to quit on my way to 2. I wanted to quit the whole time. I had more double digit splits than not. I was lost and frustrated almost the entire time. I had to relocate several times on the way to 10, including relocating off of number 11. (I had 11 controls). But I finished. No mp or dnf for me.
3) The longer I am out the more I get to count as having "trained". My hours go up the worse I do. A small victory, but one I will accept.
Tomorrow is the last day of my foray into an A class. May or may not do it again soon.

Forgot my compass and SI at my bag, remembering 9 minutes before my start. Sprinted down and jogged/hiked back up just in time to make it 2 minutes before my start. Oops.

Screwed up the first control. I am getting sick of this. It took me about 12 minutes to relocate (which I did from the start triangle), then pretty clean. The rest of the race was much better than yesterday, and I was having fun even when I wasn't getting everything right. I found the first control, I found the rest of the controls, and I even beat someone. At this point, I am doing 21A level courses, so I need to keep my frustration at bay. Tomorrow I get to orienteer again. :)
