Cardio (Bike (video)) 30:00 [2]
Coin hunting (Tactics) on Coin Toss
Didn't want to push it with a road course given how sore I still am from Sunday so I went for a "bonus" dragon ride to work towards that challenge. 266,042 points. Third out of eight overall; only one in age group; first of two (by 98K) all-time at the Y. P:144; C:55.

Can't believe I went while still so sore, but it did help a bit... even if I did "wimp out" once or twice.

Event: Raccoongaine
10 AM
Orienteering 5:41:56 [3]
Raccoongaine. Team Warming House Wanderers (with Jeff Sved - director of the Warming House, an Olean-based soup kitchen where I spend some time)
Jeff had never been orienteering before, so he got to choose among several routes. Ultimately, we went: 101, 103, 144, 134, 119, 127, 129, 128 (114), 138, 140, 147, 150, 145, 139, 130, 141, 125, 121, 102, Finish
The start was good, but we should have crossed the outflow of the pond at 103 and taken the trail to below 144 where there were multiple beaver dams to cross; the crossing S of 144 was brutal. We bobbled 138 a little (pace count off, but we kept going so no real loss) and got to 140 at 2.5 hours in, so we decided to go north. Bobbled 147 a LOT in the jungle; with 20-20 hindsight we nearly spiked it, but the briars directed us away near the flag and we couldn't see anything. Got caught in WAY too much gunk on the first half of the way to 150. In the end, we were a shade over 80 minutes 140-147-150-145 which is too slow. Plans to pick up more at the end were squashed and then knocked out of existence by a bobble on the way to 141. Still all was good. We were pleased with our result.
In retrospect, a better way to (nearly clear the north would be: 101, 103, (possibly 109, but I would skip it), 144, 134, 128, 138, 147, 150, 145, 140, 139, 129, 127, 120, 130, 141, 125, 121, 104, 105, 102. This swaps 119 out to pick up 120, but makes most of the trip north on the road or trail. I t also cuts out three and a half big hills going north while only adding about two and a half big hills on the return. That should be more than enough time to add the distance for 104/105 (including mystery control) resulting in 40 more points for probably less time/work. Live and learn. At that point, one could probably cut in from the road to get 126 as well. We were under too much time pressure (we thought) to do that.
