Run 4:00 [3]

warm up for Red course...

Orienteering 1:49:01 [4]
ahr:159

due to my upper respiratory infection I had thoughts of punting on this event...I feel like I am running at 80% at best....

but I know I have to skip Afton to hang with Syd while Kari is up north and I knew I would not be able to motivate myself to do something else on this overcast and wet day do I opted to pop some Tylenol and go O....glad I did....turns out I actually feel better after running it.........

I just missed my ranking score last time by .5 at lake elmo and I will wait to see what score I get from today.......I actually only had any real trouble with 1 of the 23 controls and that was 18 which was incorrectly listed as on a spur...I went up the spur looking for it on the crest and over ran it....after checking around a bit I saw it in a re-entrant.....lost 2-3 minutes???....I curled into a few of the others but I am thinking my total errors will be less than my goal of 7% of time or less...it was a solid result for me....

lots of point feature controls in areas that were not feature rich but managed it all pretty well.....you could easily have a big disaster on this course.....I just lagged in foot speed...but my HR average was 159 which tells me I ran as hard as I could have/should have...I am sure the cold did not help but that is just my speed these days...

Mt Bike 1:40:03 [3]
ahr:125

I should rest for the O meet tomorrow but decided to get a long workout in instead...I felt tired and sluggish immediately...gave it a mild effort.....my legs/quads were feeling it...

....likely due to the upper respiratory infection I have had for the past 7 days or so...I probably should be resting but I only have limited opportunities to keep my training hours up so I opted for biking single track at Elm Creek....

16:06 for beginner loop with inter ride out....
68:35 for the inter loop...
14:10 beginner loop with easy ride out.....

Note

Western Coast of Michigan...the most amazing technical White Woods I have eve seen...formed by dunes.....doubt you could ever get permission to O here but it is WAY more technical than Camp Ripley....kettles and huge ups to the top of dunes...very complex...miles and miles of terrain like that that goes inland for a mile or so....
