Running with weights 13:33 [1] 1.9 km (7:08 / km)
To the office, 4 am.
Easy running 6:39 [2] 1.2 km (5:32 / km)
From light rail end at M. View down Castro to El Camino to catch the #22. Took light rail -> VTA 22 -> SamTrans KX -> Golden Gate 80 -> Santa Rosa 8W to the event. About 6 hours total. 99 miles.
Orienteering 44:16 [2] 4.4 km (10:04 / km)
Leprechaun-O at Spring Lake. Spent about 15 minutes looking for the key control at the place it was actually shown. I thought that was the leprechaun challenge, to get through 10-foot boulders in a swamp overgrown with wild rose; the little green people can do it, so why can't you? Alas, the green people played a trick. The bag was safely out of the swamp, rose, and boulders, and everyone but me got it.
Orienteering 23:23 [3] 3.1 km (7:33 / km)
Shamrock-O at Green Lake. I had to hurry more than I wanted to, in order to finish before the official, permanent, and non-negotiable BAOC start time cutoff, to be able to do the third challenge. The tendon was holding up OK.
Orienteering 48:27 [2] 5.3 km (9:08 / km)
Blarney-O at Spring Lake. As I was approaching the second control, I saw a dark shadow rise from the rocks. It was so huge, so awesome, it made the sunlight fade. It was a dragon; its wings spread wide, it rose from the nest it made among the boulders. And as I looked in its face, I realized it was Sean Connery! The Scotsman himself! Must have been really lost. And in the creature's fiery breath lie the ashes of the bag, number 2.
