Orienteering race (Fox Chaser Day 1) 1:07:07 [3] *** 5.2 km (12:54 / km) +230m 10:34 / km
shoes: Ice Bugs - Red Storm
Fair Hill - early start. Lost about 3-4 minutes from 1-2 with a poor directional execution, and not sorting out where I was sooner. Disappointed not to break 60 mintues. Knew it was doable, but I tired across some of the fields near the end. I was happy with my effort. Third on F45 behind a smokin' Heidi O who was 3.5 minutes ahead of Eileen - sixth on the Green Y course.
Beautiful day out. Epunching went very well with Mary & Mark Frank, and HVO's Jeff and Alan as today's apprentices.

This morning's weight was 3 pounds lighter - just had to keep up with Tim - at least temporarily.
Yard work after work, so had to pass on a dreamed about bike ride. Lots of digging holes.
Did 5 pushups too.

Running (W&OD) 55:30 [3] 5.5 mi (10:05 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 2
This just seemed really hard today. I probably should have taken another easy day, but with temps at ~ 80 F, it just seemed like a good day to run.
I struggled breathing going outbound into a stiff wind. Then I got further out then I should have, so I felt pressured to get back in time for dinner. It isn't polite to keep the cook waiting without prior notice.
So, my breathing seemed even worse coming back as I struggled to get a deep breath even though the pace didn't seem that hard. I made it home with 5 minutes to spare.
The good news is that my calf feels 100 %, and my shoulder is stiff but not too painful unless I rotate my arm.

Walking (Four Mile Run Trail) 16:30 [1] 1.0 mi (16:30 / mi)
shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 2
The last mile I walked, including the hill behind the house. I am going to have to name that hill one day. Today, I stopped and looked up towards the house, and the house seemed so tiny and far away. It isn't even like it is a huge hill, but when I am all tuckered out, it is. It is the one coming up to the USGS symbol on the left side of the map.

Misc (The DVD) 40:00 [2]
A stiff right shoulder/arm says I fell hard yesterday despite the soft leafy landing.

Event: QOC: Little Bennett
Trail Run (Little Bennett) 1:40:00 [3] 8.25 mi (12:07 / mi)
shoes: Ice Bugs - Red Storm
Met Sarah for a run at Little Bennett before the O meet. I was unsure whether I was going to be able to go out on a course today or not, so a run was good. Mostly wide trail with about 2 miles on the road.
Comfortable temps at 8:30 am.

Running 8:00 [3] 0.8 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Ice Bugs - Red Storm
Had met Sarah in the parking lot outside the park, and then left my keys with the meet personnel as I ran by in case additional controls were needed.
After finishing with Sarah, I ran from the parking lot back to the meet site to get my keys (an a ride back to my car.)

Orienteering race (Little Bennett Green) 1:17:52 [4] *** 5.6 km (13:54 / km) +180m 11:59 / km
shoes: Ice Bugs - Red Storm
After everyone had started, I left the download in Graham's capable hands and went out on a course. It was now much warmer at 2:30 then it was at 8:30.
A good run except for not listening to myself going into #8. I always have problem in this area, and I even pulled back right away to sort myself out, but not enough and ended up with ~7 minutes in error here.
Took a spectacular fall just before #11 - downhill, rolling, wood, leaves, swearing. Calf is very stiff. Will see what tomorrow brings before I worry too much.
Thanks to Graham for manning download, and Sandy for assisting after he had to leave.
