7 AM
Other (PE117) 55:00
slept:5.78 shoes: New Balance 608v4
Mil Move again, a high 0 on the handstand and IOCT, and 2 pts on the grapevine climb which is more exhausting than I thought.
4 PM
Other 55:00
shoes: Asics GT-3000 5
Quality orienteering team workout, a mix between upper and lower body.

Event: DVOA Hickory Run Sand Spring
10 AM
Orienteering race 37:10 *** 3.01 mi (12:21 / mi) +115m 11:02 / mi
spiked:12/12c slept:7.4 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
It was rainy and everything was wet. I wasn't the best at the runner's splits (controls 8 to the finish), but I made up for it on the technical. Why wasn't I under the 10:00/km? A small mistake going into 4 led me to be overly cautious on the technical legs up to 8. Read the split analysis for more detail.
I hand calculated about 6:15 of loss.
They're not letting me move up into red because I didn't run under 10:00/km which is valid, it just means I'm gonna push that much harder on the next orange course I get because I know I am completely capable.

Event: DVOA Hickory Run Sand Spring
11 AM
Orienteering 57:25 *** 1.4 mi (41:01 / mi) +51m 36:51 / mi
spiked:7/7c slept:8.28 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Contour-only map with some notable exceptions (rootstock primarily). For the first 2 controls we were just following our instructor who made an unfortunate mistake on his way to one (misread the north lines). The rest we were instructed to walk, so we did. Minimal drama outside of 4, where we ended slightly SW of our goal and corrected.
1 PM
Orienteering 37:50 *** 1.58 mi (23:57 / mi) +52m 21:43 / mi
spiked:7/7c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Just a practice course to get used to the terrain and running around with a compass mostly. Brisk walk for the most part, saved a lot for the night course that actually counted. No errors. Good run.
10 PM
Orienteering race 1:05:50 **** 2.82 mi (23:21 / mi) +150m 20:02 / mi
spiked:13/13c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
I was foolish and didn't record GPS data. Read splits for more detailed analysis. Summary: I did alright but my glasses kept fogging up early on. Then I crossed a river and lost them on the bank because some brush stole them, took a couple minutes on my hands and knees until I gave up and ran controls 10 to the finish without glasses, which was a unique form of orienteering that required extreme caution. After it was all said and done, we went back to the bank and thankfully found them.

Note
We're about ready to take off for Pennsylvania now. My left knee is whacked up from probably Mil Move, but it should be ok by tomorrow. We can hope.
7 AM
Other (PE117) 50:00
slept:6.93 shoes: New Balance 608v4
Horizontal Bar #1 - did not test (not required).
Vaulting #2 (Squat Vault) - did not test (ran out of time). Expected 4 pts.
IOCT - 3:38. 0 pts, but a huge (1:30) improvement from what I've been doing, especially on the shelf. My next step is to tackle the bars. I feel great, especially seeing my extra work pay off.

Upper Body 10:00
slept:4.7 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Our planned orange course got rained out so we did random upper body workouts in Hayes. By the end I was sweating so much that I was slipping on the floor while doing push-ups.

Other (PE117) 50:00
slept:9.47 shoes: New Balance 608v4
Practiced the shelf about 20 or so times, I'm successful about half of the time and couldn't do it after I did it that many times so I stopped then moved on to the rest of the IOCT. Frustrating, but I learned that I need someone there who knows what they're doing so I can get better quicker.
4 PM
Run warm up/down 8:45 [3] 1.03 mi (8:30 / mi) +55m 7:17 / mi
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Orienteering 1:03:50 ** 2.17 mi (29:25 / mi) +132m 24:45 / mi
spiked:6/10c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Practice on the same map but different(ish) course than yesterday. The dotted purple we had to run to before moving on to the next control. Same deal with the camouflaged green tape.
Control 1 was apparently missing and it appears that control 6 was placed on the wrong rock. Overall, the first 5 controls made for some decent training at a decent pace. You can see the mistake I made when running to 4; I got distracted by a different rock. Ran out of time before moving onto 7 (which we evidently didn't miss by far) then ran back.
Better than yesterday? Yes. Was it still frustrating? Yes.

Other (PE117) 55:00
slept:5.78 shoes: New Balance 608v4
Horizontal rope climb 25ft feet-first (5 pts), headstand and forearm stand (0 pts), IOCT 5:00 (0 points).
I spent about a minute waiting for a girl to get up the shelf and 30 seconds myself trying to, so chop off about 1:30 on that event alone and I'm within scoring range.
Will try to go to Arvin today (not looking good time-wise) but for sure tomorrow.

ahr:167 max:199 spiked:10/10c shoes: Asics GT-3000 5
GPS accidentally paused between 4 and 6.
First day of orienteering practice could have gone better. I trailed a guy for controls 1 and 2, then took over for 3 and 4, then trailed for 5 and 6, etc etc. This means I couldn't run as fast because I had to annotate what I was doing. This also means that half of the controls I was just following for (notice the odd routes).
But that's not an excuse for the early entry at control 3 and the slow down at 7 and 8. By that point we were in the thick of the woods so the reading was much finer. Turns out I was literally on top of 7, but I didn't see it until my buddy pointed it out to me (thanks Charles) about 2 feet away from me. Needless to say the unusual marking system made me much more deliberate (and slower) on my way to 8, so I started looking everywhere for the skinny green tape.
The route is disgusting for all the above reasons, and I can't wait to get a good rep out rather than the one today that I essentially wasted because of stupid decisions.

A little dip in the (probably zika-infested) pond immediately after running.
