Note
slept:7.0 (injured)
Taking today off from exercise class as I'm still moving slowly and carefully.
Maps/routes from the weekend --
Middle preliminary (Brown X)
Middle final (Brown X) - note: GPS track doesn't start until control 4, but I drew in where I think I went -- actually, on the way to 1 I went a bit farther down the trail but kept the stone wall in sight and attacked from it (passing the depression control along the way

Walking (paved) 54:52 [3] 2.97 mi (18:28 / mi) +49m 17:34 / mi
shoes: Sauc.Shad-6000#8-2014H
Mid 70s and sunny so I had to get out even though I wasn't moving as fast as I should. It hurt to go faster (knee and side competing for attention, like two small children...) so I didn't. I love weather like this.

spiked:10/12c (injured) shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Troll Cup classic day 2. 4.0km 110m climb
Weather was beautiful today, probably 50+ when we started and very nice when we finished. The errors AP gives me were climb-related; I'd say I lost a bit of time on 4 (15 sec because I went up the west side of the rocks rather than up the rentrant), 8 (hesitant), and 11--the bingo control, but I had two others there who spotted the flag not where I would have hung it.
Happy with my time even though my knee is really complaining right now, from the road and trail runs.
Finished in 1st overall despite being third each day, but consistency worked. Prize was a cute little penguin ("a troll if you squint") chocolate.

Walking 28:27 [2] 0.72 mi (39:30 / mi) +8m 38:16 / mi
shoes: Sauc.Shad-6000#8-2014H
After leaving the meet site we stopped at Trader Joes to restock on some standard snack items, then visited the Cranberry Bog nature trail with informative signs by Ocean Spray, the cranberry company. Labeled 1/2 mile long, and it was pretty close. My track is a little longer because it included the bit from parking to the loop trail.
Both were nearby Gillette Stadium where the New England Patriots play. A lot near there was where we parked yesterday before taking a bus to the arena for the two middle races.

Orienteering race (Middle) 33:49 [3] *** 1.85 km (18:16 / km) +28m 16:59 / km
spiked:10/10c (injured) shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Preliminary Brown X course at Troll Cup 2016. SL 1.6 km, 40m, 10c
Walked all but the final run in which I took at a slow, careful jog. Deliberate through the woods which were at times fine bit often cluttered underfoot (not so much downfall as saplings and blueberry bushes which would much more difficult when they leaf out.
Most of my competitors here have heard how I lost my balance on the way into the motel last night and hit the railing on the way down, bruising my left side around the rib cage. Don't think I broke anything or even cracked ribs but I'm taking slow and deliberate movements, particularly anything involving bending over. Putting on socks this morning was an adventure... Jogged the trail to the finish holding my left arm in tight to my side.
Pleased with navigation, but this would have been fun to do at a speed faster than a walk. I love middles and this had lots of short legs and direction changes. Third of five in F60.

Orienteering race (Middle) 34:37 [3] *** 1.67 km (20:41 / km) +25m 19:15 / km
spiked:7/8c (injured) shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
8km, 50m, 8c
Final, set up as a reverse chase with interval starts, so fastest went last. While it was a long time between races (it had to be so they could figure out the start times in the afternoon), it was relatively nice weather with sun and not much breeze and mid 50s. Fun to chat with everyone and catch up on winter doings.
Again, navigated cleanly except for a slight detour in the way to 6 to check a bag even though I knew in the back of my head I hadn't gone far enough. Again, no jogging except a slight bit at the beginning and at the end.
Again finished 3rd (unless MJC was reinstated), decent place time-wise and probably not much slower than normal. Side still sore and stiff.

We got to the Y early, so time for a few laps around the track.
Kudos to the lady who comes in a wheelchair and does a couple of laps with her cane at a snail's pace.
