5 PM

Running 55:01 [2] 9.51 km (5:47 / km) +90m 5:31 / km
ahr:130 max:152 shoes: on Cloudflow Blue/Orange

Home to Jericho, then around the nice soft trails in the Jericho forest area.

My knees weren't feeling great (inside of left knee, and outside of right knee) and running on the road was a little painful. The softer stuff in the forest was much nicer. Inside hip flexors were also sore.

"Recovery from the weekend status": not at all recovered.
6 PM

Orienteering 52:40 [1] 2.87 km (18:21 / km) +94m 15:46 / km
ahr:124 max:164

I took my colleague Danika to her first orienteering event! She claimed to have the navigational ability of a 4-year-old, which is a bit younger than I'm used to coaching...

We did the beginner course together, which was fortunately not totally trivial, and allowed me to introduce route choice concepts. She decided it would be more fun to go straight for a couple of controls rather than sticking to the trails, which was encouraging. By the end she was orientating her map properly without prompting, and did an excellent re-location after overshooting an indistinct trail.

Maybe she'll be back? We'll see!
