| easy riding to sylvan springs crit to help out. had a flat on way back, went thru two tubes, finally got it to where i could pump it up, ride another 200 yards, pump it again. guess i need to work on my tire changing skilz! not counting the walk/ride/pump portion. |

| running 15:30 [4] | |
| |
| went to Meramec Bottoms park before my meeting nearby, ran the trail loop, was supposed to be 20 min. so I think I added the trail distances wrong, counting one section of trail that was not really included in the official park distances given... Ran on aerial photo. |
| orienteering 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| jogged around in same park, off trail, and marked features on aerial photo as they came up. lots of swamp, pretty devoid of potential control features, so probably not a worthwhile map to develop farther. But it was fun...realizing that in an afternoon one could quite possibly gather enough information to make a halfway decent map for training. |
| biking 1:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| misc. biking to nursing home, bus, park etc. South county area near park was quite hilly. Did bike 'o' in south county area - back streets are complicated and require constant attention to map - fun. |

| 'intervals' @ forest park woodsy area. trying to hit 1000m intervals @ 7 min. per Eric's blog, w/ 3 min. rest between. Ist one worked like a charm, second one was a little too long, started to wrong 3rd control (had all the courses on one map) and on the last 2 controls navigation was fuzzy in the 'attackpoint' zone. Third was just a terrain run back to my bike. Fourth one was just about right, except sloppy navigating on pit north of road near highway, when I corrected I saw that area was totally blanketed w/ deadfall so I went on. And 5 min jog back to bike.

| My friends eyes lit up when I said I was discouraged by my orienteering. 'Now you can join my walking club', she said. Oh oh. |

| to marks house from bus |
| orienteering 3:00:00 [3] | |

| green course at cuivre river meet, parallel error on 3 made all other minor errors pale in comparison. not a good day mentally. then went out again to do red, was like a zombie towards the end, missed a control even though it was right in line, brain had stopped functioning pretty much, just wanted to get back so that people would not be waiting for me. |
| Note | |
| |
| I've put a good effort in O training. if things dont show improvement soon, I'm thinking of blowing off the A meet in may at the least. It would be awful to travel hundreds of miles, have hundreds of dollars expenses, and have a day like today. I can have a day like today right 'here' :) |
