Dontgetlost IceBreaker - Mohawk Sports Park, Hamilton

Unbelievably, this was my first orienteering event since last year's IceBreaker and it was great! Veinbuster and I hiked it as a team since it was his first adventure run. He'd done a shorter forest O Cup before but today was a typical DGL brainteaser course design with lots of strategizing and adjusting as we went along. We had fun and made it back with a few minutes to spare. VB did well bushwhacking, slogging through mud and scrambling up hills - all useful skills for orienteering. It was awesome to see people I hadn't seen in a long time and I loved the enthusiasm of all the kids. 'Bent had a good nav race and his knee didn't seem too bad. Before heading home, we made a pilgrimage to Cafe Domestique for a takeout lunch.

As a cooldown, 'Bent and I followed Veinbuster to a few controls around the sports field.
