I did my first Orienteering meet of the year on Saturday.  Gorgeous day and I got to precede the meet by a good hard paddle workout.  What a gorgeous weekend!  

I learn new things at each meet.  It's pretty neat how such a seemingly easy concept (find the checkpoints), can have such a complex series of decisions- right or wrong.  I second guess myself a lot on which route will be the fastest, but I have to remind myself to make the call and make it work.  Overall, I did pretty well.  No hiccups, just some things I could fine tune and get faster at, so I'm pretty happy with the results.  I got first place female and 9th overall on the Red Course.  Posted Results

I always pause at water crossings.  For some reason I always say, would they really send me through this? Or am I missing something?  Chelsea!  Of course they'll send you through this!  These Orienteers send you EVERYWHERE!!!  Somehow in all the running around, through and under rubbish, I got some "porcupine eggs" tangled up in my hair.  I didn't even find out until about an hour after the meet.  They were stuck!!  It took me about 15 minutes to get them all out!
