 | Orienteering race 1:31:02 [3]4.9 km (18:35 / km) | |

| Boulder Dash, A-meet, at Beaver Brook. Green course. Steady rain. Piss-poor orienteering on my part. It was a challenging course (set by Alar), with lots of very technical legs. I couldn't read the map very well (no glasses, magnifier blurry, couldn't tell a depression from a knoll, etc.). But instead of being MORE careful, I let myself lose map contact on two short legs (4 and 5), hoping I'd figure it out when I got in the area. Bad strategy on any map, but especially bad on this map, on these two legs. Paid with about 20 minute lost. Also lost about 8-10 minutes on other legs that I can't blame at all on poor vision. |

| Smith track, after lifting. Cool, overcast, breezy. Modest pace, but hard enough for now. Felt the hip strain the whole way, so definitely no intervals this fall. But doing tempo runs at the track helps me to keep focused, checking splits every 200 m. 7:12 (141), 7:11 (153), 7:04 (156). |

| Orienteering 1:35:00 [2]7 km (13:34 / km) | |

| Mt. Tom. Wasn't motivated to move very fast, but at least I got some woods running. After the heavy rain yesterday, the trails were streams and the marshes were full. (And Rt. 5 is flooded between Mt Tom and Northampton.) |
