166,087 points. Went from Red to Blue to Yellow and then stupidly back to Red rather than anywhere else. Last in the world, but first in my age group. (Okay, there are only two of us listed.) One and only all-time at the Y. P:162; C:48.

Cardio 9:58 [3]
Got the bad bike again. Knew that I could break fifteen minutes, but probably not ten. PR was 9:50, but last year's ride was 10:25. Then I saw that the season leader's time was 10:19 and I really decided to shoot for that. Once it became clear that I could beat it, I pushed for under ten minutes and made it. Given that I was on the bad bike, being only eight seconds off my PR is probably my best ride ever. Top 10% overall; top 15% age group (need six seconds to make it top 10%.) Still 3rd (out of 55) at the Y by ten and twelve seconds. (Might have to go for the Y record on this course after my annual challenge is complete.) P:235; C:56.

Got the slow bike so it was a challenge just to make it through; knew that my PR (12:01) was out of reach, but wanted the local lead. Top 15% overall; top 25% age group. Still 1st all time at the Y (out of 44), by thirteen seconds. This ride would have been 4th all-time if my earlier results were removed. P:236; C:61.

Orienteering race 1:16:42 [3] 5.3 mi (14:28 / mi) +180m 13:05 / mi
Quite a different course and quite a different result. I blew two controls badly, including #3 (still not sure how - after finding it, I swear I'd been standing there earlier) and #11 (overshot when I interpreted overgrown yellow as green). Winsplits says I was slow to #10 also, but I don't get that one. Combined finish for the two days was 8th out of 14 so I missed my usual goal of "top half" by a distressingly small amount.

Orienteering race 1:41:40 [3] 6.0 mi (16:57 / mi) +235m 15:06 / mi
For the second time in a row, I had a course with mostly even legs, so I decided to try for 7 min/leg as a target pace. Drifted high on #2, but relocated and lost minimal time. Then did well until #12 when I cut in one stream too early; I realized it almost immediately, but paid the price by slowly crossing a wet seep. Blew #13 by drifting to another control. Blew #14 by being slow and coming out in the wrong part of the field. Still, all in all, a decent run.

Did a bit better finding chests, although I stupidly left 15,000 points on the table by not 4x-ing just before one of them... 187,747 points. Top third overall; top half age group; one and only all-time at the Y. P:95; C:59.

Slow, dumb ride, desperately looking for treasure chests... 177,781 points. Top third overall and age group. One and only all-time at the Y. P:106; C:54.

Orienteering race 21:53 [4] 2.1 mi (10:25 / mi) +80m 9:19 / mi
Solid run. Took the popular, but unmapped trail from 2 to 3. Took the unmapped trail from the clearing to the road from 5 to 6 for a slight bobble. Took trails all the way to 7 (which might have been optimal.) Went via the dike to 8 and it was straightforward after that.
4th overall. Tom won in 18:19. Dave Cady (19:55) also beat me.
Orienteering race 1:07:18 [4] 5.2 mi (12:57 / mi) +155m 11:51 / mi
Quickly noticed that the course was fourteen legs of roughly equal distance and set my goal of 5 min/leg and was never more than 2.5 minutes off that until the very finish. Probably cut in a bit soon to #1, was a bit sloppy to #4 and drifted right to #11, ultimately hitting the band of yellow to the right, but there were no real goofs. The GO control was common with the sprint and I was only 3 seconds slower than my earlier run. All in all, I'll take it. Tom won in 54:18, but I came in third and no one else broke 60, so...
Orienteering 25:00 [1]
Got #1-3 on the Red, plus a nearby Orange control. Tom W. gave me a ride down the road to the parking lot near #1. It was a 45 second walk to the control. (That was probably the winning route choice.) It was interesting to see that my times to #2 and #3 walking when I could recognize my route, weren't all that far off from my original running times. Of course, herd paths helped.

Went straight to the Blue pillar and did well, but then tried new strategies that didn't work as well. Still made top half overall and age group; still the better of two at the Y. P:136; C:51.

Cardio (Bike (video)) 12:04 [3]
Wanted to beat my PR so I tried to get a lead on my ghost and slowly open it up. Near the end, I made a half-hearted effort at breaking 12 minutes, but slacked off once I missed, probably costing myself two seconds. Top 5% overall; top 10% age group (missed top 5% by seven seconds); #1 all-time at the Y (out of 45), doubling my margin over #2 to 41 seconds. P:267; C:59

Wanted to break 15 minutes, but with a PR of 16:21, that was never really going to happen. Rode hard and I did make progress. This completes the third phase of my yearly challenge to ride all the courses; only the easy ones to go! Top 10% overall; top 15% age group; 3rd all-time at the Y (out of 33) - 36 seconds out of first. P:242; C:55
