Orienteering race 2:02:30 [4] *** 7.8 km (15:43 / km) +245m 13:35 / km
spiked:10/13c slept:6.5 shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Green course at HVO-Westmoreland Sanctuary in Mt Kisko. Temp around 50 and overcast. Nominally 6 km / 235m
I hate making errors on the first control, but that's what I did here, doubting myself and the map, and relocating from near the trail 5 contours up from where I was supposed to be. I think I was almost to it but the hill seemed to me to be curving away (re-entrant-ing) much more than mapped. D'oh.
Then good for the next three, but overshot number 5 because there was more rock out there than mapped and I went by it. I eventually decided I'd gone too far and returned. Glen passed me on the rocky, leaf-covered downhill leaving the control as I carefully picked my way down.
Fine on most of the rest, with a nice trail interlude on the long leg 7-8. I hooked around the hill to 10 instead of going between it and the next one so I'm counting it as a non-spike.
Lots of trails and stone walls on this map make relocating easy at least. New map from lidar and undergoing refinements but in pretty good shape. Nice course and a good workout. I was in last place on green when we left....

Pilates class (ball) 55:00 [1]
slept:7.5
Large bouncy balls, meaning we started with a standing warmup (yay! I woke with an even stuffier nose today than it has been lately [allergies] and wasn't relishing the thought of focused breathing while lying on my back as we often do to start this class. I'd rather just get right into movement). Includes roll-ups with legs extended/feet on the ball.
During the hip stretch (sitting cross legged, bend forward) I could not bend forward more than a few degrees because hips were still right from the weekend. Typically I'm loose enough to rest my forearms on the floor.

Exerc. Class 50:00 [1]
Hips sore going in but loosened up. Stretching surely helped. Arms/shoulders tired/sore.

Pilates class (weights) 50:00 [1]
slept:7.5
Sunday evening I could barely move, Monday was a bit better though sore in the morning. Today almost back to normal.
While most were doing weighted leg curls from hands and knees I did them standing, or at least until hamstrings threatened to cramp (standing leg, more so the left than the right). Otherwise no difficulties other than the normal ones.

Balloon-loop walk in MB with Glen, trying to get the kinks out.
Forgot to mention it was a balmy 60 degrees F out. Nice.

Note
Prize for Lowlander finishers
The Hudson Highlander finishers receive a permanent prize (T-shirt this year with an awesome logo), and all Lowlander finishers this year received a pastry item (first time anyone other than top man/woman got anything). I think an edible prize for Lowlanders is a great tradition and hope it continues. ;-)
