Biking in the rain. Bought new old bike in great condition. Looking forward to some fast and furious road biking over the summer.

Ran with Emily's running club for the first time. Nice bunch. The workout was enjoyable. Used old runners for first time in a while. Started feeling great tension building up in the front of my left leg. Don't think I'll use those shoes again.

Orienteering long 1:43:02 [3] **** 9.8 km (10:31 / km) +415m 8:41 / km
shoes: Integrators

Abundant route choices and good control placement. Really fun. In this race my orienteering was not very good. Over the 28 controls I made some nine mistakes of varying severity.

Control -> Cause of Error

#3 ---> Lost contact reading ahead.
#10 -> No attack point.
#13 -> Lost contact and didn't follow planned route.
#18 -> Lost it trying to exit #17.
#21 -> Did not pick a route choice.
#27 -> Misread map.
#'s 10 and 17 -> Didn't read control descriptions.
#'s 10, 13 and 19 -> Lost contact after meeting someone in woods.

For a race like this I think a more regimented approach to the orienteering might have been a good idea. If I had been careful to follow CAR as Ted coached us, back in the day, I might have avoided alot of these mistakes.
