Walking 1:00:00 [1] 5.0 km (12:00 / km)

Walked to the model event and back with Kris (and Sandy on the way back). The walk to included a detour on the road to the parking area close to the start for day 1. Really spooked the event organizers when we showed up there.

Orienteering (Model Event) 1:10:00 [2] *** 2.4 km (29:10 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Did the model event with Kris H. She had me do some pace counting. Took turns doing legs.

Orienteering race (Relay Leg 2) 22:30 [2] *** 2.3 km (9:47 / km) +60m 8:39 / km
slept:3.0 shoes: Silva K80

Ran the White/Yellow leg of the relay - one stupid route choice, especially since I didn't have gaiters on. Should have stuck to the trail. Well, my bloody legs got me all kinds of attention - I love attention! ;)

Orienteering race (COCC Sprint) 18:24 [4] *** 2.19 km (8:24 / km) +60m 7:23 / km

Started one minute behind Eileen B. Kept her in sight through 3 controls and finished less than 2 minutes behind. Good hard effort with only a little bobble at the end.

Orienteering race (Arnold Ice Cave) 1:11:04 [4] *** 4.09 km (17:23 / km) +70m 16:00 / km
shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Actual distance covered was 6.1 km. Well, it doesn't replace Beuna Vista in terms of sheer misery only becasue I wasn't out there 3+ hours...but a tough event in terms of conditions for me. It was so dusty/sandy!! And when it wasn't sandy underfoot, it was scrubby and rocky. Started 2 minutes behind Eileen B and caught her at 1. Found 2 first with a couple minute error and we were close at 3 & 4. May have found 5 first, and then into butterfly loops. Whew, the pressure was off and I ended up finishing about 13 minutes behind Eileen thanks in part to a 6 minute error on 14.
My throat was parched at the end - full of sand!! Our only water stop was about a third of the way through the course.

Misc warm up/down 8:00 [1] 0.5 mi (16:00 / mi)
weight:184lbs

Jog down to the track and back to meet Nancy for a run. Scale says there was too much sitting around and eating pizza and brownies at the race yesterday.

Running/Walking (BC Long Run in reverse) 51:00 [2] 4.2 mi (12:09 / mi)

Legs fresh after two days "off", so I ran Nancy a little faster than she would have liked. But she hung in there just fine. A few walking breaks, though less than Friday. Breathing excellent.

Misc (Mini Boot Camp) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi

40 s/u, p/u, & L/L

Mowing/Yard (Mowed lawn) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi
