Orienteering race 41:51 [4] *** 4.6 km (9:06 / km) +250m 7:09 / km
spiked:16/17c shoes: VJ Falcons #1
Lead-off Green leg for ineligible WCOC 4-point team, followed by Peter Goodwin, Clint Morse, and Peter Grollman. Screwed up #2 in a minor way, not that I was really paying much attention to the map yet at that point, and not like anybody else really spiked it. But I made up for that by starting the third leg at the back of the pack, and beating them all to the control by means of a better route choice. Except for Jon Torrance, I think, who also had the good route, but I believe I spotted him up ahead later, when he had no business being within sight. Dropped off the pace a bit in the second third of the course, and the only person I saw from then on was Vanessa Wood, who was with me the whole way. Handed off in 10th place, and thence followed fine runs by my teammates, finishing us up as fifth place team (not too shabby!)
Hang gliding! 1 [0]
shoes: Wal*Mart Carson
Took the gamble on the weather and drove to Ellenville, NY after the relays. After working out the details of what I needed to do in order to get cleared to fly, I got an early evening launch in smooth lift, and hung out on the ridge for about 79 minutes, coming in to land because the sun was going down. Avoided making a fool of myself, too: I had a picture-perfect landing after watching another guy whack into the pumpkin patch (there were at least four of those today).
Orienteering and hang gliding on the same day — so fine!

Pull-ups 14 [5]

Orienteering race 17:01 [4] *** 2.22 km (7:40 / km) +51m 6:53 / km
spiked:11/15c shoes: VJ Falcons #1
Sprint Finals at Cranbury Park (CT), Sprint A. I'm using a very strict definition of a spike here, the total time lost on the various tiny errors probably amounts to something n the order of a minute.
Orienteering race 14:49 [4] *** 2.33 km (6:22 / km) +52m 5:43 / km
spiked:12/13c shoes: VJ Falcons #1
Sprint B. Cleaner, my only real error was stopping inside the circle at #11, momentarily confused as to where I could be, with the control just off my right shoulder — pretty minor.
Orienteering race 17:39 [4] *** 3.15 km (5:36 / km) +33m 5:19 / km
spiked:20/21c shoes: VJ Falcons #1
"All comers" mass-start Sprint C. Leading a pack early on, then I was in hot pursuit of some pretty fast guys on the final loop. It finally came down to my closing a gap on Spike over the last few controls. I caught him at the last one, and then it was an all-out dash to the finish line, which I think he won by a step or two.

Hang gliding! (Morningside) 8 [1]
shoes: Wal*Mart Carson
Sled rides.
Running in terrain 12:54 [4] 1.16 km (11:07 / km) +137m 7:00 / km
shoes: Wal*Mart Carson
Morningside 450x1, but instead of taking the road, this time I did it straight, up to the 150 then through the woods. On the way back down I took an overgrown trail that I spotted on the way up. Probably doesn't make much difference which way I go up, the time is likely the same because it's dominated by the climb, but I think for descending, the trail is probably the fastest route.

Unicycling 25:22 [2] 2.37 mi (10:42 / mi)
To Town Hall for meeting and back, In The Dim on the way there, and In The Dark on the way back (hatlamp plus led blinky taillight). I was carrying an empty tupperware container on the way there (returning it after having eaten the cookies), and that wasn't a problem in terms of balance.

Pull-ups 14 [5]
On entering the garage to do the pull-ups, I came across the most unambiguous sign that I have mice: I saw a mouse. It was scampering along the base of the wall, then got to the corner and scooted vertically right up to the roof, with a couple of pauses. Pretty impressive. Now, it's not too surprising to see a mouse in the garage, which is porous enough that there's no realistic chance of keeping them out, short of ridding the neighborhood of them. And a mouse in the garage is not quite a mouse in the house. Nevertheless, I rounded up the old mousetrap that I remembered seeing out there and set it. In the morning it had been sprung, but had failed to catch Mr. Mousey. So I reset it, and we'll give it another try, hoping the intended victim hasn't developed an aversion.
