Running (50/50 off-trail/road) 30:00 [3]
ahr:156 max:173 shoes: Nike Goretex
It started raining as soon as I got home, but Kristoffer MADE me (not really, I wanted to go, really..) go running. We took off into the woods not more than 10m from our front door and ran hither and thither through the woods, sometimes on random trails, other times just through the brush (there was a lot of debris on the forest floor). Made it out back to the road, maybe a mile or so down from our place and ran that back.
My legs felt pretty tired and I felt like I was pushing to stay up with the boy, but I'm glad I got out, felt much better afterwards.

Orienteering race (West Point, Day 2) 1:33:41 [4] **** 8.68 km (10:48 / km) +390m 8:49 / km
ahr:163 max:182
Felt tired from yesterday and lack of concentration from all the people running here and there, (more people than yesterday) Most of the controls went pretty well, but freakin' number 7. I had taken a route choice that I hadn't intented on taking, but I knew where I was the whole time, until I bombed over the hill and down the slope towards a boulder that I thought for sure was mine, ran around the whole thing and no flag. Then I knew I was screwed. I lost probably 12-15 mins on that lack of immediate relocation. The rest of the way I had a few bobbles here and there but felt good physically.

Event: West Point
Orienteering race (West Point Day 1) 1:24:02 [4] 7.55 km (11:08 / km) +360m 8:59 / km
A rainy wet and real foggy day. Nice to run in except for the inability to see flags and people (though not seeing people probably helped my concentration a bit).
Felt quite hesitant on most controls, missing them by a few meters. Mostly, I felt really lucky. like there was someone sitting on my shoulder telling me to stop running and start looking for a flag, or telling me to change the direction I was running in a bit. It was strange, this happened on nearly every control. I would go bombing towards a control, something would tell me to stop, so I would and I'd look around and lo and behold, there's a flag! Whoa. A lot of my decent result was due to this luck. I don't like it, I shoul dhave been concentrating more on the map rather than thinking I'd just luck out and run right into it.
On the other hand, I felt really strong physically, could climb well and felt confident on the rough ground.
