On the spinning bike with the girls this am. Lost interest before they did and headed in. R hamstring and sciatica acting up this morning. Did some stretching after, and before the long car ride up to VT this morning.

Running 2:00:00 [3] 10.0 mi (12:00 / mi) +400m 10:40 / mi
Annadel with Rhonda. Up Channel trail to N Burma to S Burma to Marsh, then down Twin Quarry, Richardson and Channel again. Unrelievedly up on the way out and down on the way back. Twin quarry was along steep hillside with erosion gullies. Lots of switchbacks and very rocky. Cool and damp, but the threatened rain never showed up. Still, stiffened up quite a bit on the way down, and will dose myself with vitamin I.
Perhaps no running for a few days to let my legs recover.

Hike 2:00:00 [3]
Tramping around SF with Rhonda and Kathy. Fisherman's Wharf over to Presidio and back, mainly. Then had dinner at FW with Rhonda's cousin and his wife, and with our niece Lauren, before Kathy dropped us off at SFO.

Orienteering race 1:01:05 [3] 5.3 km (11:32 / km) +190m 9:46 / km
weight:165.2lbs
Day 2 of Western States meet at Boggs Mtn. Much more satisfactory run, with no major screwups and only about 4 minutes or so lost to lapses in concentration. Ended up third on green (out of about 60). Steve Gregg was first and Bruce Wolfe 2nd. Actually wasn't even tired when I finished. Generally a pretty fine experience, if not a perfect run.
I think the appropriate gift for the course setters would be a meter stick. Generally anything advertised as less than a meter (as in .8) was the size of a toaster. Anything around a meter was maybe the size of a microwave oven. A 2 meter boulder I would expect to be at least as large as a refrigerator. Instead it was about the size of an automatic dishwasher. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was ok.

Note
As compensation for waiting around while I chatted up routes and split times with my friends, I treated Rhonda and Kathy to a trip to Indian Springs. Mud baths, massages. Kind of interesting, but I don't expect to be doing it again. I'm certainly pretty clean now.
