Saturday Apr 13 #
Orienteering race 1:27:07 [5] 8.6 km (10:08 / km)
Oh boy. What a race. I was just so tired even on the first map so I knew this was going to be interesting. There was a decent amount of walking because I wasn't really in the mood to completely kill myself (I had a piano recital a few hours later). The weather was nice and there were people racing boats in the lake so that was super cool to see. Overall, taking a week off after a long, hard weekend of racing and then running 9k probably wasn't the best idea but, I'm excited to get back into the water on Monday.
Tuesday Apr 9 #
Note
(rest day)
Our swim club group is taking the week off as a break between seasons (short course and long course). It's important to take time away from the pool to rest and let you have a life outside of swimming. Later this week, I'm hoping to maybe go for a run or two or do some jump roping just to stay active before starting up again next week.

Orienteering 1:04:13 [3] 5.3 km (12:07 / km)
I think I had the same problem as Saturday, I need to focus on the smaller decisions in route choice.
Ran past 1.
Running along the river might have been faster to 3 but I had a great attack point from the trail and hit the control very well.
On the way to 4 was when the tiredness really hit me. I decided to take the off trail portions of the next few controls more methodical so I didn't outrun my navigation.
Heading to 5, I crossed the water at the wrong crossing and decided it wasn't worth it to run back so I stayed on the trail and cut over to minimize time lost.
I had a fun time sliding down the mud slide by the river on the way to 6.
Tried to take a direct bearing to 7, wasn't that far off.
Halfway to 8, I saw the first person I had run into since control 1! Also hit this control pretty well.
Oh 9, lovely 9. I ran along the trail and decided to run north at the junction, running in the river to cut towards the power lines. It was impassable, so I ran further north and then back south before cutting off trail. Definitely should have taken the safer route of heading slightly south at the junction and crossing the white/light green towards the power lines.
I don't know why I didn't think of taking the road. Silly me.
I did like the downhill boost I got before reaching the go control.
