One last run of my winter course. This was tough to get out the door, because we had dinner with friends last night, which meant too much food and wine and too little sleep. Plus it was 75 degrees today, and the woods are starting to green up. But I managed to hit 4 cleanly (finally!) and to knock a minute or so off my best time. I manually adjusted the HR zones, because my HR strap slipped down and was recording way too low for most of the course.route

Mike set a training course at Rockhaven. I wanted to practice contouring, and up and over to a feature. Used this as a practice session, with lots of slow walking and careful map reading. Should have been more confident at 7; I was in the right place the first time, but then I continued up the stream.

Hot and but overcast. Leaves are starting to come out, so it was tough to move through some sections of woods. Other sections were nice and open. Always nice to explore a new area.route

I love being able to jump on the bike trail for a leisurely little ride on a warm spring evening. Also helps that I had a tail wind to push me up Kasold :)

As I expected, now that the champs are over, Randall (my trainer) showed no mercy. Arms are already a bit sore.

Had every intention of going for a bike ride after work, to enjoy the beautiful weather. But I haven't slept well for a few nights (was up for several hours last night after midnight) and I can barely keep my eyes open now. Best to just go to bed early tonight.

I can also celebrate my one year accomplishment: I have orienteered at least once a week, every week, since last March 12. (My streak actually could go back to July 2010, but last March 12, when I coulda, shoulda, woulda gone orienteering, for some reason, I just didn't.)

Updated my logs from the weekend with my GPS data and quickroutes. Can also find the QR maps here for
Saturday and Sunday.
