Orienteering 44:10 *** 7.03 km (6:17 / km) +49m 6:05 / km
ahr:161 max:179 16c
Deschutes Daze, Day 1 @ Arnold Ice Cave. Mappy.
It is *extremely* smoky here in Bend; visually I'd say it seems even worse than in Seattle a few weeks ago. Given that and my minor hamstring injury I wasn't sure how to approach this, so I started out slow to see how it went, and with positive feedback gradually picked up the pace. Could definitely feel a little discomfort toward the end, but it didn't seem to slow me down, and I also didn't notice any problems from the smoke (to illustrate the situation re: smoke - Bonesaw orienteered with a bandana covering his face, outlaw-style).
Surprisingly, I got Eric by 1min, though we agreed that <40min would be the race-effort expectation under normal circumstances. I felt sluggish and was often sloppy with my compass, especially on the last few controls, but mainly it was just nice to be orienteering in some great terrain, especially since I didn't even know if my hammy would let me run at all!

Did some dope late afternoon mountain biking. I badgered my mom into dropping me off up at Tumalo Falls and worked my way back down to Bend via Tumalo Creek, Skyliner, Pinedrops, and Phil's. First few miles were gently rolling, then smashed a whole lot of sweet sweet downhill all the way to the river. Brilliant stuff.
