| Orienteering 26:43 [4]*** 5 km (5:21 / km) | |
| I "beta-tested' the Kansas Champs course this afternoon. I don't know how long it was (maybe 5 km?). I ran it at a pretty good clip, I think. I only made one significant mistake, though I made a bobble once. Looking back at my route choices, I think I could have made several better decisions out there. However, with my campus knowledge, running a second or third-best choice would have been faster than had I run the best leg with zero campus knowledge, if that makes any sense.
I'd write more, but I don't want to give anyone any inside information. That being said, I seriously doubt anyone who's competing will even read this entry. | ||

| Orienteering race 1:11:13 [4]*** 7.5 km (9:30 / km) | |

| PTOC O-meet at Fleming Park, Red Course
Splits here: http://attackpoint.org/racesplits.jsp?raceid=2331 I ran a really solid race except for a 6-7 minute stretch. I got pulled over by two unmapped rootstocks at #9, losing 3 minutes. And when I did punch #9, I arrived from the north, instead of from the east, so I was 90 degrees off. Anyway, instead of exiting to the north like I was supposed to, I headed down the hill to the west, and well, I lost another 3 minutes or so. If I wouldn't have made the first mistake, I wouldn't have made the second. Another interesting note with this stretch of the race is that I passed Mary 3 times. Once leaving #8, again right before #9, as she caught up to me when I was looking for the correct rootstock, and then again on the way to #10, after I made my second mistake. Other legs of note: I nailed the first leg, something which I rarely do. I had a sub-6 min/km here! After hearing what everyone else did from #3 to #4, I took an interesting approach... I followed the powerline instead of the road. It was shorter but had more climb. I chose ths route because I figured that there'd be a trail or something under the powerline (there was) and because it set me up better to #4 through white forest instead of green forest. However, looking at the splits, my route was not the smartest one. I took a major spill on the tral between #11 and #12, I tripped over a rock or something. My right hand has a gash and is pretty sore, and my right knee, too. This was very reminiscent of the spill I took at Anza-Borrego, and I was pretty worried when I was laying on the ground. Luckily, after I dusted myself off, it wasn't as bad, and I could still run. Mike beat me by a whopping 17 minutes. I was hoping I could have come a little closer. I did beat Gene by 2 seconds, and some other guy by 17 seconds, so that was nice. My goals were to run sub-10 min/km and to finish 2nd. I finished 3rd (a team of guys finished 2nd) with a pace of 9.50 min/km, so I wasn't too far off. | ||

| Running 4:00 [2]0.5 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| Lamest AP entry possible: I jogged out to my car after work last night. It's a long walk out there (2/3 mile) because we've got so many people working here. Anyway, I was listening to a rockin' tune on the iPod, and it was really raining out there and I didn't have a raincoat, so I jogged the last half mile of the daily walk. | ||
