raid me again
despite being pretty sick with various maladies (and even discovering that i'm low on iron and almost anemic), david and i did pretty well today during out little 'raid'. it consisted of mountain biking, running, canoeing, and scaling a castle wall at the end, all using orienteering to get to the different numbers and spots located on the maps.
the hardest was probably the biking since the first hill we went up to get to the woods totally screwed me over. i was thinking that if it was like that the whole time, i'd never finish. not the case, but the course did take us through lots of mud, hills, and wooded areas (lots of itchy scrapes as proof!). the running part went pretty fast cause david took some shortcuts since beaumont sur oise is the department where he's a firefighter. the canoeing was alright, i just had to glue my arms back on at the end of the 5k down the oise river. and scaling up the chateau was more fun than anything. 5 hours of athletic effort. pheewwww.
i'm taking a nap (david already beat me to it!)
