Orienteering (Ansonia Green) 58:35*** 5.96 km (9:50 / km) +104m9:03 / km ahr:131 max:154 spiked:15/15c weight:173lbs shoes: ORoc 290 Ultra 2021
Humid so definitely not always fast, but moving well, and cleanly into all controls. Comments in splits. 10 of 15 fastest splits, behind Tony M by as much as a minute at #4, but gained two minutes on the long leg to #6 and increased the lead to almost 9 minutes by the end. A very satisfying run.

Some slow spots, but only real error was leaving 10, skirted open field to L as it was a roped off archery course (not marked OOB) and didn't want to get shot. Then failed to accurately get back on line and stayed L of line through camping areas which weren't too distinct. Hit big trail 100m off and quickly corrected, but inefficient route. About 3min ehind Tori On green but first M60+. Field probably not deep enough to effect rankings though.

Up to truck for change & drink, grab camera, back to finish for photo duties.
Walking (Lawrence) 1:20:00 [1] 4.0 km (20:00 / km) shoes: RocliteG 290v2 2020
Walk around Mill district in Lawrence with El, then another with Anna. Up checking out potential employment. She's been offered a position, but needs to decide if relocating there is what she wants to do. Not a fan of urban environments. Time & distance a total wag.
Last week I 'paused' the half-marathon training plan (no particular race goal - just to provide structure to my weekday runs) Now that Tuesday hills are back in the mix, rather than trying to force the planned workouts to match my schedule, I think I'm just going to call it quits on the structured plan. I think the workouts are good, and they are somewhat regular - so I'll continue doing a mix of the workouts - just not exactly as prescribed or on the particular days they appear in the program.
So my likely weekday routine will be: Mon - Recovery - ride or easy run Tue - Hills Wed - Long Easy - 75-80 minutes Thu - Rest (or easy ride) Fri - 45 minute progression run if racing Sat, or Intervals if not Sat/Sun - typically orienteering of some sort both days.
*This note primarily for my reference, most won't care...

Restless sleeping night. Knee doesn't feel too bad, but going to play it safe and just ride this AM.

Brisk ride. 50ish, sunny & breezy. Knee felt fine riding. Good non impact workout.

Note
Mowed some lawn. Looks like someone leveled the lettuces and most of the Kale over the weekend, even though they are caged in. Chard & onions survived.
Woodchuck has figured out he can lift the cages and scurry under. Watched him do it. Damn... put some landscape staples, but I don't think that will slow him. Pretty easy to pull out. Will consider alternatives
