Ran carrying maps to the start. I felt somewhat tired, especially my arms, since I was carrying a heavy box full of bagged maps. Dylan Thies offered to help, and he took the red and blue maps, which made the errand much less unpleasant for me and my tired arms.

My second warm-up, running to the start.

Long course at FLO U.S. Team fundraiser meet. I started off a bit scatterbrained and haltingly zig-zagged my way to control 1. I saw that control 2 was a long leg and I hadn't made any plan by the time I got to control 1, but I made sure there weren't any critical decision points early on then made myself run approximately in the right direction, now feeling slightly less mentally and physically clumsy. By the time I was about 35% of the way to #2, I felt like I was getting into the swing of things, but I still had to refocus myself when my mind wandered several times until about 30% of the way through the course, when I was able to concentrate on the navigation without much effort. I made several small mistakes, but I was always able to recover quickly, so I lost very little time throughout the course--perhaps 2-3 minutes, if I'm being picky. I felt somewhat tired about 3 km from the finish, but the last kilometer felt quite easy and I was able to speed up a bit. It was not a perfect run, but better than yesterday's, and it was great fun.

Warm-down with Mike Minium after orienteering.
