Event: SLOC Hawn State Park
Orienteering (Woods) 1:08:20 [1] ** 2.8 km (24:24 / km)
12c
Yellow course with Yaya. Some running on the trails, but mostly walking. Navigationally, the course was way to hard for her, so I offered a fair bit of help - basically pointing her along the right linear feature and telling her when to start looking for the control. She did spot most of the controls herself (including one that I completely missed). Physically, she was up to the challenge, although I think it was pretty close to her limit. She was very excited to get first place.
Orienteering race (Woods) 1:37:42 [3] *** 9.7 km (10:04 / km)
15c
Ouch. 10-minute K's won't get it done at Hawn (1:15). Rick Armstrong was course setter and did his usual fine job. A few of the controls were a little bingo-ish (small rock features in areas of considerable undergrowth with few good features nearby), but nothing to complain about (although I guess I just did). Lost 3 minutes on each of the first two, then ran pretty well until 10. Sloppy coming in from there. Second to David Frei.
Note
Yaya played in the playground while I ran my course. I got back to find quite a bit of Oreo residue on her mouth, but she had not injured herself, dipped herself in the stream, or pissed anybody off. Bodes well for future meet attendance. We celebrated by eating at Dewey's Pizza and Cold Stone Creamery (where she ordered a combination that only a kid would love - but she did love it).
