Chainsaw!!! Cut a few trees that had fallen across trails into manageable lengths for Jordan and Skyler to drag out of the way. Also directed a number of random acts of violence at honeysuckle bushes that had dared to encroach on said trails.

20c
Georgia Nav Cup Day 2 at Don Carter SP.
Just before control 1, ran into a viciously thorny Georgia "wait-a-minute" vine that tried to make my ear look like Van Gogh's. It took about 30 seconds to free myself from its embrace, which drew blood from calf and hand, as well as an ample stream from my ear dripping down my neck. This distraction probably contributed to a solid two minute error on number 2, where I ran down the wrong spur, but did manage a pretty quick and confident recovery. A costly mistake that unfortunately resulted in Mintore catching me late in the course. A few drops of blood smeared on the map didn't exactly help my concentration going to 3, but after that I settled back down and from there out had a fairly clean run, just physically slow on a course that seemed like it had a whole lot more climb than the previous day's
All in all, not a bad run, overall this was a pretty good 2-day performance.

trail running 10:00 [3]
Short 4-5 minute warmup jog leading the kids, then several minutes keeping an eye on things as they did a 17 control memory / score O.
12 students: 3 high school and 9 middle school.
Afterwards we went to Pizza King for dinner and a Georgia Navigator Cup pre-trip meeting, where Dylpop and several parents joined us.
The memory score-O worked like this. There were master maps at the start and finish. The start was in the middle of the area and finish at one corner. Older and more experienced students were not allowed to take a map, but could return to the masters as often as they liked. Middle students were allowed to take a map for an area of 7 difficult controls but could not take a map while getting the 10 closer and easier ones. Beginners were allowed to keep a map the whole time.

Miami Natural Areas. Union County after-school O training.
Students did a "Chase the Fox" course. Jamie set a 3.3 yellow and Alex set a 3.3 orange. There were no pre-hung flags or tapes. The "fox" placed a pad of bright colored paper on the ground at each control site. Hunters started about 5 minutes after the fox, at 1 minute intervals. Each hunter picked up one page from the pad. Course started at the Bonham Road lot and ended at the Route 73 lot.
14 students present (4 high school, 10 middle school).
