Went to the ex 2 race to learn about the chip timing. Computer crashed partway through, so what I learned was that the manual backup sucked. Mostly recovered for the awards ceremony, but I think both Tyler (chip timing chief) and I were shaken. Not sure if one more session will get me confidence to solo on June 6.

Walked from the Finish to the Start on the WPFG orienteering course checking out coverage for radio controls to the Start. Should work fine with just two repeaters over 1.5 km. Hilly and ticky (pulled one off of the nape of my neck after dinner), but the woods are lovely.

Went without ankle braces, which made me feel really vulnerable, especially on the leaf covered downhills. Bad Valerie! Do not take stupid chances like that.

At the pool with Lailah who is now going under water and swimming around, on purpose. She may never swim a lap, except the one which allows her to go off the diving board, but I am thrilled that she is enjoying the water and learning to swim. Even did a couple of relaxed back floats. Very cool.

Wonderful dinner with Sarah, Matt, and Lailah, at our second choice after being closed out of our first choice - no reservation and arriving at 6 PM instead of the usual 5 PM. We were on a wait list for a table at this place too when a waiter came over and snagged us for one of his empty tables. Wonderful service. Thank you, Steve!
