Long blue. I got to prerun at 7, so it was nice and cold, which was awesome. Had a lot of fun on this one, not that I'm willing to go so far as to admit that on a long. Made a couple mistakes, didn't get over the first spur coming from 4, so I went way south into the saddle. And went too far left on 12, missed then trail in the middle, then overran it going up the valley.

Middle distance blue. Everything went pretty well, I ended up parallel to the controls by a few meters quite a bit, but I was always looking around at that point so never really ran past any. The course was kindof bouncy up-then-down-then-up-then-down on each control, so I didn't think there was ever too much good flow in it, but it was still plenty tough and fun.

Blue #2 - Splits

Afternoon fun race at Burton Creek. Lots of loops on a forest 1:5000 map. Got a little confused in a couple places from the scale, overran a few trail legs. But pretty clean for the most part.

Score-o at Spooner Lake. 90 minutes, lots of hills. But I had a pretty solid route that did just about the minimum of climbing, so I was pretty happy about it. Will and I cleared them all, he was about 10 minutes faster.

mtn bike 1:32:26 [3] 11.34 mi (7.4 mph) +424m

Long mtb down through the valley. Found a bonus singletrack up a ridge that I thought connected with another unknown end I'd found, so I followed it up for a really long way. It hit one of the ski trail roads and ended, so I still don't know where the other one goes, but it was pretty fun to turn around and come back down. Knee felt a little swollen, but didn't hurt, though the mtb has the mini cranks so I don't really bend my knee anyway (which is what hurts).

ahr:148 max:165

Run down the creek and through the TD trails before it got too stupidly hot. It was still pretty stupidly hot already though. Found a new trail through the top of TD, so I had to run that out and back for the sake of the ubermap.

ahr:130 max:158 spiked:11/11c

Out hanging streamers for the Northstar trailcross. Which sadly involved lots of required remapping, as its totally wrong in places (new roads, ski trail overpasses, tons of mtb trails, bonus Hyatt Regency?). But I only did the minimum required to pull off the event, which didn't really take that long. And at least it was really hot and dry outside.

orienteering 50:09 intensity: (1:18 @1) + (6:31 @2) + (28:14 @3) + (14:06 @4) *** 5.37 km (9:20 / km) +157m 8:09 / km
ahr:139 max:156 spiked:4/4c

Then I drove to the top of the mountain to hang a couple more. Super tired and bonked by this point, and I somehow managed to pull something in my upper back shoulderblade, which hurts a lot now.

Martis Creek intervals with Carol. I got two new pairs of shoes yesterday, same model, just different [bright] colors, so I split them and wore one of each. That was actually incredibly distracting.

morning run with Carol down the creek. garmin was dead so I stole her track, and her ridiculously high hr.

road bike 38:56 [3] 9.39 mi (14.5 mph) +230m

Easy ride around TD to see how the knee is doing. Survey says: still broken. It felt ok until about 20 mins in, when I was on a flattish section in a big gear, and then it hurt for a couple strokes. I backed off and it didn't hurt anymore after that, even all the way up the hill, but still not fixed yet.

ahr:138 max:165

Checking out some of the map at Northstar for the trailcross/supergoat at the end of the month. Some parts of the map are pretty great, some parts are pretty terrible. It'd be a whole lot easier to set a normal course here, but I think it'll do just fine.

Ran the course backwards. Spent a while moving around 8-9-10 because I had set them in very wrong places the first time out. Something something compounding parallel errors.

vetting Steve's sprint course for the A-meet, then jogging back to the car.
5 PM

ski-erg 30:00 [3] 7.05 km (4:15 / km)

Yeah, I got one of these. Its pretty awesome. All my wintery bits are tired now.

UPS delivered it in a wicked beat up cardboard box, and part of the metal frame was bent where a bracket was supposed to go. Nothing a little persuasion couldn't get back into line, but I stripped a couple screws and a lot of paint before I got it to fit together, and single layer cardboard seems like a pretty bad packing job for a 60lb machine.

Note

no training today, outside was on fire.
photos from the weekend.
stormy on the long hike up on day 1, with mixed lightning and sunshine parts. this is like 500 ft tall and somewhat vertical - geologists: explain. this was our lake, not very big, but windy so the mosquitos were manageable. Friday's climb up Bloody Mt, all the rock was nice on the bottom and rotten on the top. Saturday we went swimming, which was wicked cold, and full of critters and critter eaters.

Dayhike traverse of Bloody Mt, which was pretty nice on the parts that were solid rock, and pretty dodgy on the parts that were scree piles.

Backpacking trip with Carol and Andrew into the high Sierra down by Mammoth. Brought the new gps logger to see if it really has 42 hours of battery time - didn't get that long, but it hit 25 or so and was still going strong.

Slow hot plod around the creek loop. All my various bits felt pretty ok, though my knee feels a little swollen afterwards.

quick run out into Donner Lake to fix up one last spot on the a-meet map that I didn't like.
