The day after the Hudson Highlander and before the APFT is the most ideal day for a rest day that I could imagine.
Still hurts to walk down stairs, hopefully I am back at 95% for my 2MI tomorrow, although pushups are my biggest concern since I have a threshold of 72 I want to break.

Event: Hudson Highlander
 

Longest orienteering course I've ever ran. I ran most of it in a group, although my group changed when Jon Torrance (who won last year, but only came in 7th this year) powered ahead of me on 6 to 7 and when the group I caught up to (after meeting another orienteer) shrank down to three, one of whom was Alex Reiter. On the final map, James (the other group member) and I did most of the navigating, while Alex corrected us on the second-to-last control. Came in 9th, a good finish and the fastest on our team. A comforting thought: I would have had to have cut out 20 minutes to move up one rank. Biggest error was following someone to the finish for a shorter course when I knew he was going the wrong direction for our course.
Straightline: 26.2km, so I only ran 21% extra

Highlander - Splits

Perfect Pushup workout again; only 61 pushups, which is a disappointment. On the actual APFT, I will need to break my segments up into less ambitious sizes.

Another loop starting and ending at Silvermine Lake, this time with Alex Reiter.

Run to Jewish Chapel

Run from Jewish Chapel to APFT run start point

Intervals along road next to Jewish Chapel; was supposed to alternate intensity but really became more like a back-and-forth run that got boring pretty quickly

Run from Jewish Chapel back to Central Area

Another rest day, this time for PL300 paper...this week sucks

For Orienteering practice, advanced runners were instructed to employ subterfuge to ensure newbies are not distracted/are actually navigating.
