Went out on canoe-O with Anna(5) & Jackson(3). I was doing all the work of course - had to back the canoe in to punch the controls, had to beach the boat and make a 'potty stop' for Jackson. But it was fun and a good upper body workout... Great weather for the weekend.

Opted for Red today. The first 4-5 controls felt sluggish, a little hesitancy in the circle although navigation between the circles was good. The complex terrain from 6-13 had me initially wanting to just walk and pace count, but once into that area I found myself alternating between careful map reading/pace counting and brief bursts of speed (20-30 paces at a clip) which actually made that section go quickly and without incident - spiked everything in that area. Toward the end of the complex area I was in a small group and wanted to get away from the crowd so I bolted away toward the small pond - getting hung up in some blowdown crap temporarily, but then moving very fast and accurately for the remainder of the course.

Winner 1:02:04 (Gagarin), my time good for 10th
