Event: HVO Mountain Lakes
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:14:35 6.25 km (11:56 / km) +204m 10:16 / km
ahr:132 max:159 spiked:13/13c shoes: 2014 icebugs
HVO local meet green course at Mt. Lakes. Garmin didn't register when I started, got it started for real just after #1. Beautiful woods. The map is very hard for me to read at 1:10000. I think maybe we had 1:7500 for the A meet, but even that would be hard. Nevertheless, my navigation was very good, mostly undistracted by the detail I couldn't read anyway. Worst problem was trying to find a way through the dense barberry to #5. Probably could have saved some time going more out of the way to the N. Also a little diversion on the way to 9, ending up slogging across the marsh R of the line, but I knew where I was. Very pleasant.
Map and Route:
Saw Eric Weyman there, working on the map, trying to get it to be a bit more readable. Hadn't seen him in quite a while.

Sprint A, with Sassy. Left the map behind, which improved the experience. Left my glasses home, too, after my tussle finding them the other day.

Got the dog a drink and then proceeded to Sprint B. Went fine, but apparently distracted enough I didn't go to #5. Or at least GPS doesn't show me going there.

Hike 25:00 [1]
slept:6.75 weight:164lbs
Dog loop, R&S.
Last night I spent about half an hour looking for the glasses, clearing an area about 10-15' in diameter of laurel, carefully taking it away and stacking it. Zack helped for a while, but the bugs got to him. No luck.
This morning I enlisted the heavy guns. Rhonda is way better at finding things than Zack, who has sharp eyes but not her formidable skill, and better than I am by several orders of magnitude. It still took her about 4-5 minutes, but she turned them up on the edge of my circle, her eyes drawn to the dew gathered on the lenses.

Rhonda's morning class
1 PM
cycling 54:22 12.29 mi (4:25 / mi) +69m 4:21 / mi
ahr:116 max:227
With Rhonda, from PV. This was the best I have felt on the bike so far this year. Would have gone farther, but this was all the time I had.
6 PM
Orienteering 23:47 1.8 km (13:12 / km) +65m 11:11 / km
ahr:137 max:165 shoes: 2014 icebugs
Course A, trying some more direct routes, finding that the laurel is pretty rough. This included a longish stop to look for glasses that got stripped from my face by a branch. Unsuccessful. Will try again tomorrow. Another one of those lessons that needs repeated learning.

Test of Sprint B. Maybe a bit too easy. I can add a point or two for interest value.

PT exercises 20:00 [3]
slept:6.5 weight:164.8lbs
most of limber series, plus a few I've added. I really need to do this at least twice a day. Straightens me up quite a bit.
Gym 20:00 [3]
Then Rhonda was of a mind to do something crossfit-like in the gym, so out we went.
Three rounds, something of a rest break between rounds. Started out with 10 squats, 10 pushups, 10 box step-ups, 5 pullups, 5 burpees. Then started worrying about hurting myself. Next round was 10, 10, 10, 5 and 4, and the last round was 5, 5, 6, 5 and 2.

Rainy, took the dog. A try on the revised course A. Not quite there, yet, but better. I would like to do both of these in under 20 to feel like the distance is right.

Gym 25:00 [3]
slept:7.75 weight:165.2lbs
Resurrecting the exercises I was doing in the fall and winter. Maybe they were working better than the newer stuff, as I am certainly not getting any better now.
2 PM
Orienteering 25:59 2.03 km (12:49 / km) +75m 10:49 / km
ahr:118 max:145 shoes: 2011 icebugs
Testing a potential picnic sprint course. Maybe a little too hard, as some places have gotten thicker than they used to be.
3 PM
Note
Somehow the winch on the Polaris got burned up, did not seem economically fixable, so we ordered a new one. I was hoping it would be plug and play, but different mounting pattern, different electrics. Outside my comfort zone. We looked at it for a while, and then I called my neighbor Steve. He and his son Joe hunt here and are always eager to help us out with something. They came over, confirmed that the old one was indeed toast, ran home with it to drill new holes in our mounting plate, and had it hooked up in a remarkably small amount of time. I would probably still be looking at the hopelessly inadequate instructions. Excellent neighbors, anyway, even if they couldn't do magic like this.
