Running - Road / Track (road) 27:00 3.6 mi (7:30 / mi) +10m 7:26 / mi
ahr:138 max:153 slept:7.8 shoes: VJ Twister (US size 10.5) - 4
I decided to take a long warm-up and run to the start rather than take the bus. My legs felt more fatigued than I thought they would. The logged time includes a few jogs back and forth on the road near the start, including a few sluggish-feeling form drills.
Orienteering (long distance) 1:37:34 *** 12.0 km (8:08 / km) +395m 6:59 / km
ahr:148 max:162 17c shoes: VJ Twister (US size 10.5) - 4
I ran the long distance race at the Flying Pig. The course was interesting, so it's too bad my legs felt lousy. I tried to push hard, but when I pushed the pace to the point that my legs burned and throbbed, my heart rate was usually only in the mid-to-upper 150s--weird and frustrating!
In addition to my physical problems, I didn't navigate particularly well, being fairly imprecise and inconsistent about using my compass and decisive route planning. I had fairly large errors on controls 2 (route and execution) and 8 (parallel error/overrun, and slow relocation), I had a small overrun on 4 (I think--it was out a spur by a vegetation boundary), and I had many small hesitations (begat by my lazy navigation), such that I never felt like I got into a rhythym for more than a few minutes.
I felt angry for most of the run, and every time I tripped or got scratched particularly viciously by the multiflora rose, I boiled over (verbally). I'm not often so crabby when I'm racing, and I'm not sure what it was about (maybe about feeling physically bad.) By the end of the course, I was in a better mood and was also navigating better. I think it helped focus my mind to have Tom Carr and Greg Balter to catch.
I fell hard on my left hand, specifically the heel of my thumb joint. At first I thought it might be broken, because it hurt a lot, including when I moved my thumb, but after the race it appeared only to be contused.
I was 4th place, I think, and was surprised not to be farther down in the results.

Running - Road / Track (road, some grass) 11:30 [1] 1.19 mi (9:40 / mi)
ahr:115 max:130 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8 - 4
After standing around feeling sorry for myself long enough to get stiff legs, I went for an easy warm-down jog.
