Swimming (Indoor) 40:00 [3] 1.0 mi (40:01 / mi)
slept:9.5 weight:57.6kg

Went to a swim clinic with the JFT group at Wright State. Paul M., the assistant swim coach at WSU, did an underwater taping, and also showed us some drills and instructions. It was definitely informative, and a good way to loosen up some sore muscles from yesterday's run.

warm up - ~400yds
drills
finish up with 20x50yds @1:00. I started out in 46, then had a bunch of 48-49s, before tiring and slowing down to 50-51s in the last few reps.

Orienteering (Vetting) 2:44:22 [2] *** 7.99 mi (20:34 / mi) +500m 17:13 / mi
ahr:119 max:176 shoes: Icebug MR BUGrip

Low 40s, mostly cloudy - After dim sums with parents, I went over to EF for some vetting. Did the big loop, last few legs of White, plus checking several other areas. I faired much better with navigation compared to 2 years ago here, but the flats can still be confusing if I try to go fast.

All the snow from last week has melted, which means the ground is saturated. The shoreline, some of the high flats, as well as the horse trails are a bit soft and muddy, but the slopes aren't as bad as I had expected. Except for the really steep stuff, footing is good on most climbs (with studded shoes). But if it rains more in the next couple weeks, ...... There are some truly steep sections though, which are scary to go down and slow to get up, but the lake views on some of these ridge tops are spectacular! The green doesn't seem to be as bad either.

Saw lots of deers. Got back to the car just as darkness fell. Very tired by the end. Was out for a total of 4hr+. Time discounted for standing around (HR<110).
