10 AM
Pilates class 55:00 [1]
Using elastic bands. I like how she always changes things up so we never know what to expect.
11 AM
Walking (indoor track) 22:02 [3] 1.5 mi (14:41 / mi)
shoes: Sauc.Shad.6000#7-2012H
Wanted to do something, but not get too sore for this evening. The soft surface is better for my joints than walking outside.
Also, pulldowns (7@68.75#) and adductors (12@75# and 12@70#)

Orienteering race (corn maze classic) 28:04 [4] ***** 2.47 km (11:21 / km) +1m 11:19 / km
spiked:11/12c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Corn maze race novice, so made typical novice mistakes to start, as in taking too long to get used to the scale!
I was most of the way across the maze (west) before I realized where I was and was able to navigate to #1, which was SSW of the start/maze entrance. Much better after that, though the route I took from 2 to 3 left me scratching my head as to where I as; I found number 4 first, and was able to find my way from there to 3 (and back again, of course).
Punch box at 7 fell off the stand as Steve (just ahead) punched before me (and maybe even before we got there), but we picked it up. I guess the rubber band system that was supposed to hold it on failed earlier in the race.
Connecting lines ended at 12 and I was a bit bemused about what to do next, but decided the best course of action was to head to the finish, and that was the right thing to do! Fun times.

Orienteering race (corn maze sprint) 6:51 [5] ***** 0.66 km (10:22 / km) +1m 10:17 / km
spiked:5/5c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Fast and furious, but I had a better idea of what to do, and executed pretty well. Had to stop after 3 and really look at the map to plan route to 4, which was a tricky leg with the opportunity to get stuck in a dead end, much more so than any other.
Orienteering race (corn maze relay) 5:13 [5] ***** 0.56 km (9:19 / km) +1m 9:14 / km
spiked:5/6c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Out on leg 1 of the 2-person relay, teamed up with Dave Yee. I actually managed to make it back to tag off my team mate before the mass start (2 minutes after the fastest leg 1 runner finished).
5:07 + 11:22 = 16:29 for our team, though with the leg 2 mass start that didn't really matter.
Dinner/party at Bub's BBQ followed.
