Started the morning with a meet planning meeting with Spike, Mean Gene, Mike S, Dick and Paul. Then spent a n hour or so checking controls. A beautiful sunny day, temps in the upper 40s. Exactly what it should be like a month or so from now :)

Mike arranged some training tonight in Burcham Park. I planned to run, but then I wimped out in the end. Just joined Mike, F-Torti, jennybengtsson and Ulrik for dinner.

Note
Well, this doesn't seem fair. Last week was bitterly cold, and it was my long (6 hour week) so I was outside a lot..
Today is my first day off (and the start of my light week), and it was 75 (!!!!) degrees outside. Not fair.
Also not fair, but helps explain, partly, yesterday's disaster: I have another bladder infection. I used to get these all the time, then they stopped for two years. This is my second one in a month. Definitely not fair.

orienteer race 52:40 4.47 km (11:47 / km) +98m 10:37 / km
ahr:146 max:173
Nice warm day in January, perfect for being outside. Jenny, Ulrik, Mike and I headed to PTOC's local race at Blue and Gray.
Unfortunately, I was not motivated to orienteer today. This was my ninth training day in a row, and I was mentally and physically shot. Mike suggested that maybe I could use it as a training exercise, to push myself through a hard day. So I went out on green.
The map is old, so the trails are outdated, which took me a while to figure out, on my way to 1. Did OK to 2. Then disaster on the way to 3. Totally lost track of where I was, spent time exploring a parallel stream system, kept telling myself I had relocated correctly. Reminded me of the good old days when I was out of shape. I think people underestimate the impact of low fitness/energy on map reading ability. I was just wandering around, practicing bad habits instead of good ones.
Decided to head back in after that. Salvaged a bit of the day by turning it into a trail run to the finish. Looking back, I might have decided to deal with a bad day by starting out REALLY slowly, reading everything on the map, and stopping as soon as things didn't make sense. Lesson learned for next time. Also, note to self: distance judgement is bad when you are tired.
