Orienteering race 1:07:13 [4] *** 3.1 km (21:41 / km) +109m 18:26 / km
ahr:126 max:153 shoes: INOV-8 X-Talon 212

Today was the Middle Distance on a new map, Granite Planite. Mostly pretty good navigation. Made one costly mistake at 9, but the rest were negligible. I mostly just walked, and I'm slow, but not too disappointed in the results, except for the one brain lapse.

Today was the one-cowboy relay. There were five loops. I only did three, and had a bit of trouble with some of the navigation. Several of the controls were visited more than once. Another altitude adjustment day.

Today was altitude adjustment in Laramie at the Lights of Cheyenne. I drove into Laramie this afternoon, then went for the mass start event. The whole thing was 15 controls, and 7.7 km. There was a two-hour time limit, so I did the first five controls, skipped to 12 and finished the course. I was sloppy on 4 and had to relocate, otherwise ok navigation-wise, but really out of breath. Lots of fun.

Good to have a workout before a long drive.

This could hardly be considered practice. Elray is on drugs, so I took it very easy and let her sniff as much as she wanted.

9Round 32:00 [4]
ahr:110 max:132 shoes: INOV-8 Alltrain 215

I always eat breakfast first thing, but not this morning. Bob had an early morning doctor appointment, and we are meeting for breakfast afterward. I had never gone to 9Round without eating first, and I know why. Serious low blood sugar about round 7. The CHOW was a sit up, stand up, and two hooks. That was one. I did 28, but it was hard.

Watkins Mill. We walked to the swimming beach, which was 2 km, then turned back. It poured rain this morning and the air was really heavy and hard to breath. Not too bad a time which includes stopping for four drinks, four tables, two poops, and innumerable markings.

Fort Leavenworth. I felt pretty good, despite not sleeping well last night, and even did some running. It was all good until the hill going to control 18. After that there were a couple more hills, but I was kind of beat. My pace slowed way down, and I even had a couple of 30-second stops. The only problem was that I dropped the map and by the time I realized it, it took about two minutes to retrieve and get back on course. Lots of fun.
