 | Orienteering race 1:16:03 [4]*** 4.8 km (15:51 / km) | |
| spiked:7/11c |
| Surebridge challenge, Green, Day 2. Took a 20+ minute break on the way to #7. Worst result for a two day meet ever (and I've had some clunkers). |

| Event: HVO A-Meet |
 | Orienteering race 1:31:31 [4]*** 5.2 km (17:36 / km) | |
| spiked:8/14c |
| Surebridge Challenge, green, day 1. Beautiful terrain, great map, gorgeous warm and sunny spring day. Ugly splits. Numerous lapses in concentration lead to losing map contact twice, and other smaller errors. Seemed like the hot sun beating down on my bald pate cooked my brain. |

Thursday Apr 19 |
 | Orienteering 49:54 [3] 3 km (16:38 / km) | |
| |
| Finally, a nice day. Circled 13 features in the NE kingdom of the Mt Tom map and navigated cleanly, but very slowly and with some hesitations, to them all. (Spent 2 minutes once checking that it was the right dot knoll; it was.) I didn't have much energy for running over the rocky ground, or up the long, steep hills. Can I be this accurate and move 50% faster at Surebridge, or West Point? We'll see over the next two weekends. |

| With Adam. Get pretty beat up crashing into the walls. |
Tuesday Apr 17 |
 | Road Run (hills) 49:51 [4] 5.7 mi (8:44 / mi) | |
| max:155 |
| Four Amity hills, in a cold, but light, rain. I thought I was working pretty hard by the last hill repeat, but my HR only got up to 155. I suspect my maximum HR has dropped another tick or two, maybe around 160 now. How am I supposed to compete with these old geezers who can still get their HR well up into the 170's? 3:48, 3:40, 3:35, 3:32. |
Monday Apr 16 |
 | Trail Run 43:48 [2] 5.0 mi (8:46 / mi) | |
| |
| XC course from Smith after lifting. Really tired legs. Trails will need some reconstruction: some have 8 inch channels running down the center carved by rainwater. Came home on the road to avoid the ankle deep slop by the river which I trudged through on the way out. |
