Here is the Egelman's Park Oct '07, Sprint map, and here are my routes.

Good race but very slow. Too much partying the night before, and no proper pre-race eating or hydration. There was a time when I was really serious about this that that would not happen (whoa, three demonstrative adjectives in a row), but now my attitude seems to have turned to a distressing apathy. No need to blather further on the reasons likely behind that. Also not been feeling very well lately. But at least I was clean, on the main race anyway.

Got around to registering for the US champs. I just can't get excited about it, and no offense to QOC, who I know will put on an excellent meet. I have a wedding to go to that weekend, and the logistics will be a nightmare. Had to register for M21, even tho I wanted to run my age, so I could get an early start time. And since I don't care about the age group championships anyway, that's fine with me. More time in the forest. But, I am the defending US sprint champion in M40, so I felt obliged to register for that, even tho I don't expect to finish in the top half this time around.

Interesting that I am more interested in training than orienteering. Almost blew off today to do a two hour run. I wonder if that is normal at this stage?
