Same goals as yesterday. And one new one: stop. When I'm tired or things don't make sense, stop and count to 10. Breathe. Think.

Day two on Camp Rutledge. Upper 50's and overcast. Yesterday's rain meant that trails were mucky and stream crossings were dicey (fast muddy water, hard to see your footing).

Overall, I had a good day. Followed my plans. Made some less than perfect route choices and one small bobble where I left a trail too early. Otherwise, I was clean. Just very, very tired and very, very slow. It's depressing to be back in this shape.

Nice map, decent courses, great organization. Thanks GAOC

Green Day 2 - Splits

Event: Georgia Navigator Cup
 

Day 1 at Camp Rutledge North. 50 degrees and raining. I predicted I would take 90 minutes. The extra time was mistakes and being very cold and tired at the end. Looking up was good, looking at the map was good for 80% of course (and totally missing for two legs). Consistency was not good. Route download will have to wait until Monday, since it does not yet interface with the iPhone :)

Followed by a very nice dinner in historic downtown Madison and watching football in the room.

Consistency: 23
Time lost: 9.25

Green Day 1 - Splits

Heading off to Georgia tomorrow. Looking forward to orienteering in the nice open woods. I won't be fast, of course. But here's my plan:
1. look up
2. look at map often
3. be consistent

Still baffled why so few people go to Georgia every year. Obviously, there's lots of interest in warm weather O in Jan/Feb. Used to hear that it was "out of season" for East coasters, but there's seems to be lots of recent O activity all over. Bland terrain? Maybe, but it's fast and there's rarely any snow. I do admit that I've had bad food experiences in rural Georgia, but I've learned to work around it. So why don't more people go to Georgia?

I donated today. Have you donated yet?

Also, saw Avatar in IMAX 3D today. Wow, 3D has come along way since I was a kid. Very cool. Glad I went.
