I learned a great deal from this fail today.

Tearing my knee twice on the stairs at home in the early morning before the event did not effect my orienteering. I also hiked a couple of kilometres after the race.

This is likely my last attempt at a long advanced course. Despite not finding control 6 (56), I still took about the same amount of time I would have on this very familiar terrain at this distance. I was too close to three hours.

On the second leg, I learned that I can still run too far in a leg though I did catch myself within a 100m detour.

For the first time I carried calories and camelbak on course. I still screwed up, unable to blame hydration or brain sugar while racing. I failed to find control when confused by mountain bike course not on map. I have been confused in this very same sector. My MP took place two controls before the water station.

I met Richard late in course. He saved my leg but I fear that I messed up his.

Long Advanced - Splits

M gave me her Fitbit to test for 24h. Sleep data was useful as I only log sleeps which are well under the 8h mark. My sleep was twice as restless as M usually has recorded.

The plan was to rest the very sore knee until the O meet but I have always been curious about what a Fitbit would do while cycling. In a 12k ride, data was recorded for nearly 700 steps, a very strange result. In a perfect world, I want the machine to record 0 steps or record the equivalent workout (3 miles on foot).

This was the worst knee-tearing pain yet as I headed upstairs with basket of laundry on left hip.
