Event: NEOC: Lincoln Woods
 

Woooo first orienteering course since my injury on 11 August! I walked the Green course at the NEOC Lincoln Woods meet in full Link getup - chain mail (incomplete, 7500 rings), tunic, hat, bracer guards, gloves, bracer, shield, and sword. Keith and I got D'Angelo's on the way home.

I have more to add on my assessment of the map, but while it is very interesting, I don't think it's quite at A-meet quality. In particular, the contours struck me as dubious.

Control Count: 11/2000 (woooo)
Burrito Count: 26

Below are some images of my Link costume. I will add more images of the components, as there are many.

Anna's.

While the session was an hour long, I'm reluctant to log it as a full hour, as it wasn't physically strenuous. My office is hosting a weekly yoga seminar for ten weeks. I enjoy the flexibility and breathing, though whether it will be of benefit in my rehabilitation and goals is unclear.

To/from work. I added over 1000 rings to my chain mail tonight, but I'm still crunched for time if I hope to have it ready for Halloween action on Friday. Some components of my costume also have yet to arrive in the mail...

A mix - obligatory bicep curls, free weight bench press, shoulder stuff, some core stuff, chest fly, leg press, leg curls.

To/from work and to BU to practice the concerto Sea Dreams for two horns and wind ensemble with Liz. We have an audition on Wednesday, and this is the first time we've rehearsed.

Commentary on the A-meet coming soon.
