biking 18:04 [2] 2.11 mi (8:34 / mi)
Biking from work to the Boston Common for Lori's Park-o. The bike lane on a large section of Commonwealth Ave is on the left of the cars. A bit disconcerting. The sky really opened up just after I arrived.
orienteering race 13:24 [5] 1.97 mi (6:48 / mi)
Felt a little slow after last night's track workout. Also wearing soggy sneakers is a bit of a drag. It was my first time orienteering on the common and actually it was really fun. The rain meant that very few people were wandering around. It took me an outrageously long time at the start to find the triangle and orient my map, and I suspect that I should have taken the left route to 2. I messed up 3 as well, hitting #11 first. Then on 14, I didn't see the uncrossable fence on the map until I had chased halfway down it in the terrain looking for a way over to the control. A few other things weren't perfect out there, but given, the conditions, I was satisfied. A huge shout out to Brendan, and Ian and SGB who all put some fast times on the board.
jogged around afterward with Boris and Ali and Alex, randomly at first and then doing the course backward.
Finished off the evening with Taiwan Cafe take out and a CSU summer training planning meeting. A really fun crowd! But we need to make sure to never order the stinky tofu again.
