orienteer race 1:23:43 6.7 km (12:30 / km) +148m 11:15 / km
ahr:155 max:176 14c
Laramie, day two. I was tired today, so my brain was having problems, especially in the beginning. Spent too much time wandering at 2, and did not take the safe route through the yellow from 7 to 8. Made the mistake of trying to run faster when a train of folks passed me around 9 and 10, and promptly made another mistake on 11. Ah well, it was good practice.
Nice event, great weather and Jenny won F21. Smooth travels through DIA and home to Lawrence. Nice to sleep in my own bed again.

Day 1 in Laramie. Definitely a good idea to come here, to get used to orienteering again. Head was not into the map for the first few controls. Actually mispunched 2 (I thought the code was correct) but noticed things were not right, as soon as I left the marker. Took a minute to figure it out.
Small mistakes the rest of the course, but nothing drastic. Must remember to look up more tomorrow.
Really pleased with physical effort today; fitness is much improved.
Lots of folks here from all over, so many good conversations before and after the race. Looking forward to more at dinner tonight.
Ooops, almost forgot: Jenny,Malte and I made the requisite visit to the Ames Monument this afternoon.
Edit: added FR track and route

run/walk 21:20 1.98 mi (10:46 / mi) +43m 10:06 / mi
ahr:137 max:167
I hadn't run in more than a week, so it was definitely time to get out there and remind my body what it felt like. Especially before I race this weekend.
But I had to wait when I got home, until the temp dropped below 100. Psychologically, I couldn't go out before then. Plus, it felt like it was getting "cooler" while I was running :)
Just a short jog, with three hill repeats thrown in.
Now to do a bit of packing, and then a one hour phone call with our event consultant.
See everyone in Laramie tomorrow!

cycle 40:00
Rode the usual loop, by myself this time. Some thoughts than wandered through my head: the unexpected ending of my last book; which weeds thrive in a drought and which don't; did we miss a new "Inspector Lewis" episode last night; the benefits of sun tunnels; how weird it is to see the leaves turning color in August; remember to email Corey; and I gotta fix the downstairs toilet. Tonight.
