Mid 50s, sunny, clear - Morning training at Harriman with the juniors. After much discussion and plea with the park's people, we were unsuccessful in getting the gate open to access Sebago Beach, so instead we headed over to Kanawauke for a short course. Mike went ahead to set streamers, while the rest of us waited behind to discuss route choices, various map features, etc. I jogged all the legs, but there were lots of standing around inbetween talking. Total time closer to 80min.
It was a very useful session. I think everyone learned a lot. The navigation wasn't as mind-boggling as originally feared, so that's good.

60s, clear, sunny - Gorgeous spring day at Harriman! Afternoon relocation training with Eddie, Clem, and Coach Hammer on the Spook Swamp map. Pretty awesome!!! I did ok, finding our location correctly about half the time, and just missed slightly the rest of it. I learned to simplify, pay better attention to the terrain while running, and know what to look for to aid my navigation. It was just great to have a chance running around with the team members and observe. :)

While hanging out at Camp Buckner all evening.
Removed TWO ticks today - one during the day while it was still crawling around my abdomen, the other already attached near the top of my forehead! Both were of the larger variety. Now I'm a bit paranoid, feeling itchy all over...
