Orienteering 20:00 [1]
NAOC Model
So Kseniya and I got in last night at what we thought was 10pm, but the time zone changed at some point from Spokane and was actually an hour later. We were running an hour late without knowing it all morning until we get to the model and they say last bus down at noon. Ok, so I have 1.5h, nope, they say, only 1/2 hour. Right.
So a quick foray into the model terrain, starting to get a feel for the mapping. Very nice to have this opportunity actually. Noted the vagueness of vegetation, what exactly light green meant. Those were probably the most important things.

NAOC Thomass event
Nice day, fun event. I got to skip 2 controls, but one of my two was a bad choice and I had to go up a bigger hill than necessary, oh well! Only really made 1 mistake, on the sprint that followed, ran way past #2. Then had a good battle with a fast older Norweigan woman for the rest of the way in. I didn't really want to push it, because I wanted fresh legs for tomorrow, but also hard not to be competitive... ended up beating her in just the final sprint. I wore just my running shoes which were not so ideal on the downhills.

Note
Travel to NAOCs. Woke up at 3.35am after going to bed at midnight, not exactly ideal.... Also bummed to be not meeting up with Dan here in Minneapolis on my way as his flight from Phoenix was canceled last night. =( Oh well, flying is often wrought with changes-in-plan.

Strength (ankle) 25:00 [1]
Last time doing ankle stuff at physio. Right ankle is way stronger, very happy to have put the time into it. Left ankle is still improving. The one muscle/tendon/ligament that is sore from having flipped it awhile ago, and then a few times since, is still sore, but definitely not as bad as it was...
11 AM
Running warm up/down 6:14 [1]
To/from physio, this time straight to lunch- busy, busy!

Running 54:15 [2]
An actual noon run for the so called noon-runners (only an occasional occurrence)! 7 miler with Sanjay, Rob, and Cody, pace was a bit fast at the end for Cody who is more of a short-distance guy, but good run!
