11 AM
Skiing 42:36 [2] 9.16 km (4:39 / km) +147m 4:18 / km
One last ski at Craftsbury on a very cold morning. The trails were great, and I was actually pretty warm in three layers, including a thick Arcteryx thermal, and my balaclava,

Skiing 1:45:15 [1] 11.98 km (8:47 / km) +175m 8:11 / km
Fun ski outing with the whole family. I was on my skate skis, pulling Inara. It was tough going in the new soft snow, and I did a lot of walking up the hills, but it was a very enjoyable outing.
3 PM
Skiing 1:36:51 [3] 18.44 km (5:15 / km) +387m 4:45 / km
A late afternoon classic ski by myself just before the temperatures really dropped and the wind picked up. Did Ruthie's Run a couple of times, plus Max's Pond and Sam's Run. Really nice conditions to be out in. This is probably the strongest I felt skiing the whole week.

Craftsbury!
We drove up to PG and Gail's last night, had dinner, and spent the night. At 3am Inara decided that she was done sleeping, so that was fun. We left Barney with Gail and PG and drove north to Craftsbury in time for each of us to get in a ski before dinner. It was snowing hard and the snow was fluffy and soft. Nice to get out.

Running 20:00 [2]
Warmup and cooldown
Orienteering race 1:18:42 [4] 9.8 km (8:02 / km)
Georgia Navigator Cup - Day 2 - Blue Classic distance
I apparently started too fast, as 3 of my best 4 splits according to AP split analysis were controls 1,3, and 4 and I was even leading the race after three legs. Oops. I managed another solid race (35 seconds of mistakes according to AP), though felt like my speed and focus faded some at the end. It was a fun course with two distinct parts - one in the usual ridge and valley terrain, and one taking us through the rocky sections that brought back pleasant memories of the 2012 US Champs / Team Trials here.
I ended up 2nd again, 9 minutes behind Greg.

Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2019
Running 15:00 [2]
Decent warmup, including the course on the model map.
Orienteering race 33:10 [4] 4.9 km (6:46 / km)
Georgia Navigator Cup - Day 1 - Blue Middle distance
Alli and I did split starts so we could take turns watching Inara, so I started first this time. I really enjoyed this middle distance course in fun, fast terrain that was reminiscent of some of the nicer QOC areas - parts of Fountainhead, Oregon Ridge, Turkey Run Ridge.
I felt fairly strong and pretty confident in my orienteering most of the way. AP shows my biggest mistake as being the finish chute... From the split analysis, it looks like I lost a bit of time on 3 (stopping short and not seeing the flag) and 16 (not aggressive enough through the green?), but a very solid race overall. Unlike at QOC events in similar terrain, GAOC tucked the flags in so they were not visible until you were at the feature. I think this was the right call for this high-visibility terrain, but it took me a few controls to get the hang of it.
My best leg was 11 where my route through the field was faster than running around on trails. I finished 43 sec/km behind Greg, which I am very pleased with.
Afterwards, lots of splashing around in puddles with Inara and Lucas while waiting for moms to finish

Orienteering race 1:11:45 [3] 9.1 km (7:53 / km) +340m 6:39 / km
Orienteering!
QOC local event at Fountainhead West on a gorgeous day. The baby hadn't slept well at all after the flights from Montana, so we were all a little out of it this morning, but got our act together enough for both Alli and me to get to run our courses, and for Inara and Barnacle to have a good time at the event.
I ran blue and felt like I had a solid, if slow, performance. Looking at the splits, I lost over a minute on 18 when I changed my route halfway through the leg to avoid crossing the river. Weak. Also, 15-second bobbles on 5, 15, and 16, so not bad altogether. We all got properly threshed by Lacho, who was still hung over from his 40th birthday party the night before. I edged out a close second place ahead of Joseph Barrett. I think last week's skiing helped me feel stronger on the hills, but I still have no speed to speak of.
After the course I hung out at the finish chasing Inara while Alli ran her brown course.
It was great to catch up with folks at the finish, especially Turner, who was on a brief break from his demanding first year at VMI.
