Training Log Archive: LilFlip

Bumming around Waterside on our way home from NJ. Pulled in around 0415h, and slept for a few. Another 4 hours' drive back to Halifax.

Surprisingly felt physically better than yesterday, but only slightly better navigationally; still made mistakes within the vicinity of the controls. Lots of fun this weekend, although I think we're crazy to have driven 36 hours for ~3 hours in the woods!

Event: HVO A-Meet
 

Not the greatest day, both physically and navigationally, but at least the course was fun (other than all the climb). Made several mistakes, mostly within 50-100 meters of the controls, so I need to work on my finer map reading skills as I approach a control circle. Route choices were so-so, but I am definitely not moving as fast as I need to be, either.

Ultra short run/walk with Heather and our Aunt Lynne to enjoy the sunshine and stretch the ol' legs after 18 hours in the car. Absolutely gorgeous here, it's nice to finally see the sunshine again!!

My main goal for this weekend is to get back into the hang of navigating and map reading. As this is my first orienteering meet of the year, I don't have huge expectations, but I'm looking forwad to getting out on a map again, regardless.

Short, easy run with Heather and Evan after work. Out to the park along the tracks, around a couple loops, then back on the road. Still yucky and rainy today...

Wimped out on a run today because it's too cold and rainy. Hey, I'm allowed to every now and then...
