BAOC Tilden Park Meet

Not much to report for me this weekend. I went to the Bay Area Orienteering Club meet at Tilden park near Oakland. Kinda disappointing. I had planned to do the blue and long-orange courses but I started late and did poorly on the blue course. I missed the last start time for the long-orange by a few minutes.

It was the first time I have done a blue course and it showed. The northern half of the course was probably 90% dark green (impenetrable brush) on the map. Finding your way through it was all about choosing the right route. After the first couple of points I was doing OK, but it was too late.

That was a weak end to a slightly disappointing week of training as well. Cathy and Ellie had to stop running with me because Cathy hurt her ankle. I also missed my Thursday ride due to rain (I really should have gone). Good weather is in the forecast ahead so hopefully I can get all my workouts in.

I've decided against going to the San Diego O-meet next week because of time concerns. It's a really big drive or a fly plus rental car thing. So I'll probably go out for a big long run instead.
