Cardio (Bike (Video)) 5:25 [3] 2.0 mi (2:42 / mi)
Started strong and just slowly opened up distance on my ghost, somehow beating him by thirteen seconds! Top 2% overall; top ten (tenth, actually) age group - out of 559. Took over first all-time at the Y (out of seventy-eight), now by two seconds. (Had been in fifth.) P:287; C:58.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 5:26 [4] 2.0 mi (2:43 / mi)
For the first half, neither I nor my ghost ever led. Then I opened up a small lead, ultimately upping it to two seconds. Top 2% overall; top 3% age group. Still hold the all-time record at the Y (out of eighty-two), now by five seconds. P:286; C:58.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 7:21 [3] 2.4 mi (3:04 / mi)
Got on the bad bike and it was over before it started. Ghost had opened up a 1 second lead after 0.1 miles and it only grew from there. Ultimately, could only muster a "third" for the Y for the season and a personal worst by thirty-one seconds. Top 20% overall and age group. Still third all-time at the Y (out of fifty-nine) by twenty-eight seconds , but this ride would only have been eighth. P:206; C:58.

Played tag with my ghost for the first half, then opened up what was eventually a three-second lead. Top 3% overall; top 5% age group. Still fourth all-time at the Y (out of fifty-nine), now by nine seconds; only two seconds out of second. P:266; C:56.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 8:48 [3] 2.9 mi (3:02 / mi)
My ghost kept nudging in front of me (once by a full second) before I put on a big push just after the halfway mark and opened up two to three seconds on him, ultimately "winning" by two seconds. Top 5% overall; top ten (actually tenth) age group, out of 348. Still first all-time at the Y (out of fifty-seven), now by ten seconds. P:266; C:54.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 9:24 [4] 3.4 mi (2:46 / mi)
My ghost steadily opened up three seconds on me, but then tables turned. I passed him at the 2.5 mile mark and opened up four seconds before coasting to a three-second victory. Top 3% overall and age group. Still first all-time at the Y (out of seventy), now by fourteen seconds. P:266; C:58.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 11:15 [3] 3.7 mi (3:02 / mi)
A PR was in the cards as it was my first time on the course! My real goal was to take the local 'season championship' by breaking 11:29. Since the course goes through a valley, ending on an uphill, it was tough to know if I was on pace or not until the last half mile or so. Top 5% overall and age group. I took the all-time record at the Y (out of five) by fourteen seconds. [Interestingly, there is no all-time list at the Y for this (new) ride; I had to combine the two seasonal lists to effectively create this ranking.] P:247; C:58.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 11:31 [3] 4.0 mi (2:53 / mi)
Opened up a few seconds on my ghost, but he caught me near the top of the (first) hill. I pushed it back to a three-second gap and got it up to five seconds near the end before beating him by four. Top 5% overall; top ten (actually 8th) out of 387 age group. Still first all-time at the Y (out of fifty-five), now by nine seconds. P:260; C:59.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 13:19 [3] 4.4 mi (3:02 / mi)
For the first time in almost a year, I got the "bad" bike and had to work my buns off just to get a poor (by time) workout in. Rode harder than yesterday, but my pace was worse even though the course was nearly absolutely flat. Logged my worst time ever on the course. Top 10% overall; top 15% age group - missed top 10% by five seconds. Still hold the all-time record at the Y (out of fifty-seven folks) by two seconds, but this ride would have been seventh. P:212; C:57.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 28:56 [3] 9.5 mi (3:03 / mi)
So, last week, I thought that I had only Basic rides to go to finish my yearly challenge. There are 14 such rides and my status said "14 to go". BUT, the new ride doesn't count and I was missing a longer one - that I had "skipped" around the time of my vacation. So...
Fell behind my ghost pretty early and wasn't even pacing well to the seasonal record at the Y (held by someone of about my caliber.) Was trailing by 13 seconds after 1.5 miles which wasn't going to make either goal. BUT, I kept pushing and began to reel him in (to my great surprise.) Caught him 0.5 miles before the top of the hill and opened up a lead that grew to ten seconds before it faded to eight. Top 10% overall and age group. Still second all-time at the Y (out of nineteen) but now by twelve seconds. P:236; C:57.

Orienteering 1:53:17 [1] 5.05 mi (22:26 / mi) +66m 21:34 / mi
ahr:111 max:152
As I headed to my first control (#12), I decided to "assess" the semi-open fields to plan for the rest of the day. Lesson: skip anything which isn't "mowed-equivalent". Then, when I got there, I couldn't find the control at all. After that, it was all smooth sailing, although I stepped in a hole going to #7.
(Also, my feet got wet everywhere I went. I had no recollection of Knox being quite that wet.)
Orienteering 35:06 [4] 2.46 mi (14:16 / mi)
ahr:146 max:168
Technical handicap of four controls; vision handicap of a light that was really only useful for map reading; physical handicap of my knee injury.
Ran B-A-D-C for the outer controls, then veered off a bit heading to #2. Lost a small amount of time checking for alternate locations at the missing #4, and was otherwise surprised that I could jog (almost) the entire course. Finished dead center of the pack....

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 16:14 [3] 4.5 mi (3:36 / mi)
Fell behind my ghost within the first 1/4 mile; deficit varied, but grew somewhat consistently and I lost by 22 seconds although this was my second-best ride. Top 10% overall and age group. Still fourth all-time at the Y (out of forty-two) by thirty-six seconds. P:233; C:57.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 14:05 [3] 5.0 mi (2:49 / mi)
Stayed exactly even with my ghost for the first 3.5 miles; I occasionally led by 1 second, but never for long. Then, I slowly pulled away, ultimately beating him by five seconds. Top 5% overall; top 3% age group, out of 247. Still first all-time at the Y (out of forty-eight), now by twenty-five seconds. P:257; C:59.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 16:41 [3] 5.3 mi (3:09 / mi)
My ghost passed me early AND the season leader board showed a time over one minute better than my PR so it was destined to be a long day. Top 10% overall; top ten (actually 5th) age group, out of 242. Still third all-time at the Y (out of thirty-nine) by sixty-three seconds (nine seconds out of second) but this ride would only have been fourth. P:240; C:57.

Cardio (Bike (Video)) 16:26 [3] 5.4 mi (3:03 / mi)
Led my ghost until he blew by me near the top of the hill nearly instantly opening up a ten second lead that ultimately swelled to twenty-eight seconds. (I was tired from a sleep-deprived night courtesy of a dead tree falling on the house at 12:30 a.m.) Top 10% overall; top 5% age group. Still second all-time at the Y (out of thirty-one by fifty one) seconds, although this ride would have been third. P:233; C: 55.
