orienteering race (sprint) 25:54 [3] * 2.6 km (9:58 / km)
spiked:10/15c shoes: INOV8 OROC 340
Finally catching up on the log. Triple demotivation: disappointment with my whole weekend of performance, lack of competency operating my GPS/watch so no graphs to examine, a bit of a let-down not having any Outside (of AK) races scheduled for my future.
Nominal 2.3 km. I was a little concerned race time that my mind wasn't quite in the game since i haven't run or O'ed for a week while doing yard work. I was discombobulated for the first control, ran by the trail then stood around totally disoriented looking for the control. Stayed disoriented to #2, knew where 3 was, then got all confused again on #4. Took a totally conservative route to #4 and got into the groove from there. Disappointed by my confusion for the first 10 minutes. Beautiful day, nice course and venue. Nice to see folks.

strength (shoveling/hucking rock) 2:30:00 [1]
slept:7.5
Mixed bagged topsoil into the crummy sandy clay stuff out mom's front door. My shoulders are unhappy. Then, decided to fix the slates that she says are getting low relative to her porch (step keeps getting taller). So, pried, lifted, hucked, filled, smoothed, leveled, lifted, slid, tested, lifted, repeat all. Then planted a shrub to hide her front porch and impatiens and violas. Then went to CVS for Alleve. Hoping my back doesn't go into spasm.

Hucking brush. Lots of lopping. Trying to avoid the poison ivy... 1/2 of my shoulder exercises; need to get back on those.

Event: WCOC Pond Mt
12 PM
orienteering race (WCOC Pond Mtn) 1:40:52 ** 3.87 mi (26:04 / mi) +1226ft 20:03 / mi
ahr:116 max:145 spiked:7/13c slept:8.5 shoes: INOV8 OROC 340
Nominal 5.5km. Lost focus on 8 and 9, and blew 9 (17 min of walking around). Maybe carrying water would help me stave off brain fade. Crept along very slowly on some routes so as to not lose touch. Except for #9, I'm pretty happy with my ability to relocate when I got a little off track. Very nice course and woods and mountaintop.

Bernie mapped me a lovely course that was some fun navigation. It's the first time all week I've been able to stay out as long as I wanted. Lots of nice countryside and interesting features and fun navigation. I think I didn't find control location 2, but am pretty sure I found all the others.
I'm not quite skilled enough to edit my garmin download to cut off the part in the car on the ride home.
