Event: West Point A-meet
 

West Point A Meet Green-X Middle course. I made major errors on 2 controls then totally blew by the very last control hidden by a cabin 120 meters from the finish to get a DQ. I was so focused on getting out of the woods and to the finish that I overlooked the last control. This was the start of a very bad weekend of orienteering at West Point.

West Point A Meet O/Br/Green Sprint. Found the 1st 3 controls quickly and easily. Control 2 was knocked over and there was another guy nearby looking for it so I took the time to stick it back into the ground. Problems with 4 where I went up on the rocks but it was down below. Ran past 6 and had to double back. Confused on 11 I think because the big building that's in the parking lot had the control number over it on the map so it was not jumping out of map to me. At least I finished this race.

Sprint O/Br/G - Splits

P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout with Luisa followed by Ab Ripper-X. This workout is always tough.

Pedal to work today. Finally the weather is feeling like spring. Temps in the 80s with a stiff breeze. I was hoping to test myself on the way in and attempt 20MPH average but there was a headwind most of the way plus I hit most of the red lights. Usually with green lights and no headwind I average in 19MPH range but today could only do 17.6MPH because of the wind. I've been trying to hit that 20MPH average for a while. Riding home was not much better because of course the wind shifted.

Evening run doing the 5.75 mile course in reverse. It might be harder this way. Actually it's pretty hard both ways with all the hills.

Bike the Tridelphia loop with Mike. Lots of triathlon trainees were out to chase down and pass.
