Did a short red course at Valley Forge. My legs felt sore climbing up hills and I felt tired overall (perhaps from sitting in a car while traveling to Pennsylvania). I made some sizable mistakes, especially on 4 and 16. I personally discovered thorns, spiky bushes, stingy plants, and many spider webs. But I liked the course anyway :)

Did a white course with Boris as cool-down. Tried to read ahead and succeeded somewhat. Was tired.

Red - Splits

Orienteering at French Creek East with Boris, Clem, Dasha, and Aleksey. I was quite happy with the weather - so much better than New York!

5 minutes of crunches

Warm-up, cool-down, and the slow jogging in between intervals.

Did 12 hill repeats in Forest Park with Boris. We put maps at the bottom and top of the hill and would memorize the location of a control, run up the hill, draw the control on the map up there, then jog slowly down the hill. It was fun and definitely helped take my mind off the humidity at least somewhat. I wasn't very exact in taking splits, but the last few intervals went something like this; 40 seconds to go up the hill, 15 to hunker down next to the map and draw the control, another 40 to jog slowly down the hill. I was definitely not pushing myself as hard as I could because I felt dehydrated and did not want to drop down and die on the way home...My body doesn't take humidity very well.

10 minutes of crunches and some weight-lifting.

10 minute of crunches.

Walked/Jogged around at South Mountain following an old orange course. It was extremely humid and hot. I miss Canada...

I was around planes and airports for seventeen hours today. I'm tired.
