Event: OCIN A-meet (Night, Relay, Ultra-long)

Monday Nov 26, 2012 #

trail running 45:00 [2] *
weight:159lbs shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

warm ups and shadowing kids in training activity at Hueston Woods. We had three from the high school (Sam, Emily and Derrick), plus 5 from the middle school (Noah, Tristan, Jamie, Nathan and Russ). Schirminator and GuyO were there to help with the coaching and activities.

Erin led the group in several dynamic warm-ups plus a short follow-the-leader terrain run. Then each student had to run out and streamer an unmarked control location. Students then traded off, finding each other's controls. We ended with a search and destroy competition where teams of four charged into the area from opposite sides in an attempt to get the most streamers before the others got them. We ended with a short terrain jog back to the cars.

A funny scene from the terrain run. Ever see a family of ducks cross a street? Mama steps up the curb with no problem, but the babies put on quite a show getting up. Well, Erin jumped over a small ravine maybe 3 meters wide and half that in depth. A couple of the smaller kids at the back of the group exactly reminded me of those ducklings as they could not clear it in a single bound, and so had to climb down then scramble back up. Guess you had to be there, but it was definitely a LOL moment.

Event: 3 Hour Score O at Horine Forest

orienteering race 2:43:25 [4] ***
26c weight:160lbs shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

Jefferson Memorial Forest - Horine Area. OLOU's three hour score-O. Cleared 26 of 29 possible points. Should have had them all. Missed one due to an overconfident parallel error and doubts about the course setter's ability. If I had been bolder, I should also have gone for the two at the far north end of the map. I finished with 13 minutes to spare, which should have been plenty.

orienteering 1:20:00 [2] **
7c shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

Control pickup at Horine Area. Included the one I stupidly missed on the course, which I found this time with no trouble at all. Dumb. I should have spent a little more time on it during the race instead of giving up on it so easily.
