ahr:123 max:140

Easy spin on the trainer. Way more appealing than going outside in the single digit weather. Calves are sore from this weekend, but other than that my legs feel good. Stretched for a while after.

18c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua

GNC Day 3 - Classic - 7.0 km (65 m)

Today's terrain was much flatter than yesterday. The woods were also more open. Made for a very fast course. Went quite well overall. I only had a couple of minor mistakes.

1 - Too much hesitation for how easy this leg was.
2 - Cut through the woods to get to a different trail. Might have been faster to just take the trail around?
6 - Got pushed a little west by some bushes as I was exiting the road. Landed in a group of ditches just west of the one that I wanted. I had a hard time seeing them under the line, so took a bit to figure it out.
14 - Very slightly overran the control.

I caught Greg G. at 15 and we were back and forth through the rest of the course. Fun to have someone to race. Very happy with the pace I was able to hold through this course. Nice to see my training paying off!

14c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua

GNC Day 2 - Classic - 6.8 km (210 m)

Unique terrain for the course today. I enjoyed the combination of rocky ground and open forest. It was more physical than I was expecting. Started out well and then had a few bobbles toward the end.

2 - Minor detour to an unmapped knoll. I should have known it wasn't the correct one as it was too high on the hill.
10 - Ended up contouring around the hill instead of climbing. Corrected when I hit the ride.
11 - Went to the nearby rocky spur instead of the rocky reentrant.
13 - Saw a flag and ran toward it without looking at my compass. It wasn't my flag.

I didn't have any trouble adjusting to the 1:15 scale. Should have eaten a Gu at some point. May have helped prevent my errors later in the race. Another fun day in the woods!

shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua

1 PM

Orienteering race 36:27 [4] 3.08 mi (11:50 / mi) +110m 10:39 / mi
14c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua

GNC Day 1 - Middle - 4.2 km (115 m)

Pretty happy with my run today. Had a few minor mistakes/inefficiencies, but I think the threshold speed at which I start to make mistakes is increasing.

1 - Took the trail around. Poor choice upon comparison of splits.
8 - Hit the road farther E than I planned. Ran to a control that wasn't mine. Corrected, but a lot of hesitation to the flag.
10 - Planned to contour around the hill, but ended up way too low. Should have just gone straight.
14 - Took the trail. Again, should have gone straight.

Fun course and very nice weather.
