Event: UNO Camping Weekend
 

Vampire O with the family... enjoyable excursion, didn't get vamped, found the missing monkey control as well as the ghost control (not mapped), plus the good vampires...

White course with Jackson (Hayden in tow). Not focused on orienteering through #6, then something got into him and he actually ran the last two controls. Had to reel him in where he almost made a couple mistakes, but just told him to stop and check his map, without telling what the mistake was, he figured things out ok.

Canoe-O with Hayden - took a double kayak. Got 9 of 14 with time to spare... Fun trip on the lake..

Hot, muggy day. Knew that if I went out running fast I'd boom real quick and real bad. So made the decision to pick conservative routes, execute them slowly but accurately and run a little bit but only where prudent. Pretty clean all the way around including some good routes I might not have chosen had I been running more aggressively. Lost about 2 minutes on #9 when I turned up hill after the vague area a little early and got north of the control, but hit the marsh quickly and placed the three large boulders and attacked from there. Ran hard the last couple controls as the terrain was well known and safe to run hard. First place on Red by 24 seconds ahead of a handful of names I don't know. Quite pleased with the run and evidence that I can actually perform better by slowing down, something Peter has suggested too many times....

Accumulated running around on Saturday - jogging to the bathrooms with the boys, running back to campsite to close up tent before showers etc....
