Canoe O race 1:00:59 [3] 6.2 km (9:50 / km)

Canoe O with Garry Gallagher. Had never done one of these - had never been out on this lake. Wanted something refreshing. Garry seemed the ideal partner - water/boats/islands/charts/maps/rowing/paddling/canoes/kayaks. Right from the start (after the slow jog to water's edge), it was evident we were a capable pair. Decided to make the long haul to #11 when we got to #9 at 26'. Could see it was going to be close to finish by time's up. Could go under bridge just SSW of #2, stopped to pick up the first, hit the beach at 59:25 & finish 94" later - all 14 minus 1 point. Think we were third but only one other team got all 14. Really hard paddling for an hour! Thanks, Garry. An 'A' performance/effort.

Sunday early

Orienteering race 43:04 [3] 3.5 km (12:18 / km)
shoes: Teva

UNO camping, Sunday, Brown. Right length after green yesterday, night O, canoe O an hour earlier. B+ run - few places where map contact inexplicably
ceases...to considerable frustration but regained w/o much additional pain, on this run anyway. Fell asleep 8>9, ran along a marsh 120 se of the one I thought I was running along. Got to S end, went W a bit; nothing matched & took a second, careful, objective look & noted where I was. Within 75m of every control, went to it in all cases. Just the one wander on 9. 3rd, Neil Dobbs is a youngster & there was a woman w/ European name.

Very nice time. Don't make all of them due to sailing time off but have been to parts of last three. Spent the night in a tent, just threw rain fly over - it was not going to rain - drops around 0400 but not so much as to cause undue loss of sleep. Courses by Ross & Sam, canoe O by Ed Kotowski. Quite a sore L heel before night O but some nsaids and expectation straightened it out. Several Alleve today appeared to have done wonders. Indeed an opportunity to beat oneself up, get in shape, find a lot of controls and feel like fall season has started.
