Comments: When it comes to orienteering, I'm not fond of the Score-O format. Today's race proved no exception. I fell four times. I nearly emasculated myself when I slipped off of a log. I got greedy for points and went for a maximum value control when I was too close to the time limit. Not only did I fail to find the control, I came in late and took a penalty. I had so many nettle stings it felt like the entire left side of my body was on fire. Devil's Club took a toll on my skin as well, leaving my arms and hands covered with small scratches. It was an unpleasant experience, and I placed rather low as well.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
