750 points, macro-wise, probably the most efficient way to get 750 points.
Added an unnecessary 700m exiting Ravenna Park, as I couldn't tell 100% from the map that you could exit the park due east from #21. My fault.
The Nerds had, macro-wise, probably the most efficient way to get 790 points which was 90% the same as ours, just 1.4 km longer (not including the Ravenna mistake).
Basically, had we executed the Ravenna exit properly, doing the Nerds route would have only added 700m (with 65m more climb) more than what we actually did. We finished with 4 minutes to spare, and our actual pace was 7.4 min/km, which means that we could have scored 790 (the Nerds route) in 3 hours and 1 minute. Knowing that we were up against the clock, we could have finished in just under 3 hours. 790 was possible with our physical condition had we planned for it (and not made any mistakes). |

| I just bought a new GPS toy. They aren't even on shelves yet... I checked at REI yesterday, but I should have one in my hands by the end of the week! |

| Ran Course #2 that my course-setting classmates designed at Magnuson Park. I forgot to bring my ankle brace, but I took it fairly easy and it wasn't a problem. I was moving well, but I had one big tactical error that cost me 30 seconds (definitely the result of a well-designed leg to force me to that mistake). Also, the super long leg was really interesting. I enjoyed that one. |

| slept:14.0 (sick) |
| I think all of the early morning wake-ups + red-eye flight back to Seattle caught up to me. I woke up this morning feeling all stuffy and fatigued... so I called in sick and went back to bed. Didn't wake up again until 1pm. |

| Volleyball 2:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| My third week back playing volleyball. I was a bit rusty since I missed last last week. My jump serves were killer again, but I had some accuracy issues. My setting was decent, passing ok. I had some really good hits, but I also screwed up several perfect sets, I think because my timing/footwork is still rusty since the injury.
Matt's spikes were back to awesome again... until he re-injured his shoulder and went back to lefty. Kyle is improving a lot. He's pretty much how I was playing volleyball two years ago.... that's great to see. Sam is solid on everything except her serves, which are still rusty.
We won 1 and lost 5. We're getting more competitive against the two good teams, and if we really focus, we should beat the other team more than 50% of the time. |

| Hiking 3:00:00 [1]6.0 mi (29:59 / mi) | |

| Flew back to Honolulu late the night before, and we slept in, and then walked around Honolulu. First heading east, past the zoo and out to between Diamond Head and the water, walking along the coast at several times. Then we headed back into town over to Waikiki, where we just walked up and down a few times, and eventually settled for the afternoon. Gina went body boarding, but I was just content to lounge under a palm tree and relax. |
