| Event: US Team Trials
|
 | Orienteering race 17:07 [4]*** 2.98 km (5:45 / km) +13m 5:37 / km | |
| spiked:13/13c shoes: VJ Falcons #1 |
| Team Trials sprint, Haven Hill. A good race, pretty close to perfect, and I managed to overtake several people and not get caught by anyone, I believe. Time loss was due entirely to things like going not going the optimal way around a rootstock. Beyond this, it's all just running speed. |
| Push-ups 45 [5] | |
| |
| |
| Sit-ups 1:30 [5] | |
| |
| |
| Note | |
| |
| No pull-ups today. I looked around the hotel, but didn't see anything that looked like a particularly suitable chinning bar. Plus I was beat from the early morning to catch the plane. |

| Unicycling 36:46 [3]5.92 km (6:13 / km) | |
| |
| To ComComm meeting at Brooks House via Highland (23:29), and back via Turkey Hill (13:17, In The Dim). Making an effort to ride quite fast in both directions. |
| Push-ups 45 [5] | |
| |
| It's entirely possible that as I do more of these, they're also getting sloppier. Next move will be to go to 2x25 instead of one set of 50, I think. |

| I think I spotted another ab, which would mean that I'm up to two. |

| Orienteering race 23:32 [4]*** 2.7 km (8:43 / km) | |
| spiked:14/14c |
| Pine Banks sprint, head to head with Alexei, Pia, Dean, and Dan Westerburg. Made a better route choice to the first control and got there ahead of everybody, though Alexei wasn't far behind. He slowly pulled away on the next two legs, and I lost sight of him in the green on top of the hill. Never saw anybody else, other than crossing paths with Alexei when he was on #9 and I was on #7. |
| Course setting 26:25 [1]*** 1.7 km (15:32 / km) | |

Monday Apr 30 |
| Pull-ups 14 [5] | |
| |
| End of the month trials. During the day, I feel all stoked and figure I can surely do 20 or more, but then when the time comes to head out to the garage, I don't feel quite so confident. Almost made 15 — after having relaxed my shoulders, I managed to get started upwards again, but before I quite got my chin over the bar, I stalled, and no amount of kicking my legs could do anything about it. |

| spiked:18/20c |
| West Point Blue. A much nicer and more enjoyable course. Same number of misses as yesterday, but they were much smaller, just overrunning to the next boulder a couple of times, maybe three minutes total time lost. But I also ran low on energy with a couple of km to go, so I wasn't moving very fast for the last four controls. Stiil, nice to have such a clean run in a sweet area on a day that was really quite nice for orienteering. |
| Note | |
| |
| Stopped at UConn on the way home and checked out Clint's big flower bud. This one has serious potential, and I'm hoping it turns out spectacularly for him. |

| West Point Blue. A pretty uninspired course, and I managed to be pretty much perfect on the boring parts. A few of the legs were actually quite fine, and I managed to screw two of those up, one by about 4 minutes by poor route execution and a bit of misreading the terrain, the other by not being careful enough entering a very detailed area, and having no idea which feature to look on, even though i passed through the circle had to back up and relocate, losing probably a bit over 5 minutes. |
| Orienteering race 16:15 [4]*** 2.2 km (7:23 / km) | |
| spiked:20/22c |
| Sprint set by PG. Off to the right a bit on #2, and left #7 at about a 90 degree angle (in retrospect, I might have been looking at the contour line heading NW from the circle) and went between two of the barracks before correcting. Total errors about 40 seconds, I guess, which amounts to a couple of places. But my time in the chute wasn't too embarrassing, at least. |
