Full line of subs!
Scored my first goal!
And we almost won for the first time...

Pickup on the turf field. Was already dead from Hockey, but still fun to run around and mess with a proper sized ball!

Thoughts on orienteering this past week.

Map simplification. I am way too "good" at this. I oversimplify like there's no tomorrow. This strategy works *very* well for bland terrain, such as was found on the long and especially the sprint. Middle on the other hand did not work.

Rocks. ties in with the first point. I just don't know how to read dense rock outcroppings, so I simplify them out and get lost. Just need to practice this type of terrain more, but there isn't that much locally...

Athleticism. Not sure how I manage to always be in decent shape without trying, but it leads me to not push myself to become actually fit, and thus fast. I need to find some sort of motivator for training, since orienteering 3 times a year isn't frequent enough goal testing.

I ran fast. Had less than 30 seconds in mistakes / hesitations (I think), which just means that I am about 2 minutes slower than I need to be... Guess I should train more than 3 times a month

Sprint - Course 8 - Splits
