Swimming 40:10 [2] 1.0 mi (40:11 / mi)
With equipment, in a warm pool.
Watercize 28:00 [1]
...had to leave early to attend a talk on hyperbolic geometry... (first time I've ever used that excuse!)
7 PM
Handball 45:00 [3]
Cutthroat with Lucas and Steve K.
Playing the best two players in the group is NOT the way to come back after a six-week (or so) layoff.
Game 1: Couldn't pick up flight of ball. Lucas' new spin shot didn't help. Steve won as I flailed. 2-10-15
Game 2: A little better, but I still whiffed on too many easy shots. It was 6-8-10 at one point, but that was it for me. 6-13-15
Game 3: I played better still, but Lucas was on fire and Steve was tanked. 4-15-2
Game 4: It finally clicked for me and by now both of them were tired. 15-13-8

Orienteering race 1:25:27 [3] 6.7 km (12:45 / km) +325m 10:16 / km
ROC - Mendon Ponds Icebreaker
Ran Red instead of my age class as it was still only 6.7 km. Basically hit everything "dead on". Thought I made only one small (5-10 sec) goof at #10, but apparently I ran the first half of that short leg fast enough to cover for that. Winsplits says I lost 22 seconds at #12 which is plausible, but seems a bit high since the split was only 104 seconds. Got slow near the end but didn't really care. Only interesting route choices I made were to go through the green in both directions between #6 and #7 - it looked passable and it was; and to take the trail to the west on the way to #17. Not sure that the latter was a win, but it was close.
9th out of 16. Seven runners finished between 82:28 and 88:08. I was the middle of them and the middle of the three who finished between 85:00 and 86:00. Considering how I felt - not a bad run, but not a great one.
