orienteering race 1:02:14 [3] *** 5.5 km (11:19 / km) +200m 9:34 / km
spiked:8/14c shoes: New Balance 767
Rocks slowed me down at the beginning, then there was more open space for running.
Wore running shoes since my soccer shoes are in bad shape, and becausee my knees felt like they might be starting to get sore. They feel fine now.
I think I'll put my comments up with my splits.

cycling 18:53 [2]
Borrowed Rudy's bike and took the campground road to Happy Jack Trail, to Tie City Campground. This includes the whole ride there, but I didn't count most of the ride back since there was so much coasting downhill.
running (Happy Jack map) 29:08 [3] *** 3.24 mi (9:00 / mi)
shoes: New Balance 767
Started at the corner of the Happy Jack map. Ran the trail out to get used to it a little and read the contours looking through the woods. When I got near these 2 rock features, I stopped my watch while I walked around and picked out each black triangle and bare rock area. The most important things I learned:
1-Bare rock on contours is as noticable as boulders on the ground, although it's not as eye-catching on the map.
2-Single boulders aren't very useful.
3-The contours are the most helpful when things get confusing.
4-Rocky areas are hard to run through.
Then I took a rough bearing through the woods to a wide saddle. The light green was hard to run through, with sticks down and stuff. I ended up where I wanted, in the open field. The contours were a lot more subtle than they appeared to me on the map, and I was confused for a second.
I was running down a broad spur then, reading the vegetation. At first it was tough because I didn't make the distinction between rough open and open w/ scattered trees. I got more confident when I figured that out and then was able to pick out the individual areas of white.

running 50:45 [3] 5.34 mi (9:30 / mi)
shoes: New Balance 767
Slow run with John, my first since getting up to this altitude. At first my legs felt fine but I was breathing really hard, but then my legs started to feel it, too. I'm not sure if it was the altitude or the hills. Probably a combination of both. Anyway, I'm not sure of the pace since I wasn't feeling like normal. For sure slower than 9 min/mile.
