Rec center. Played OK, not great. Games I were in were OK.

Running race 55:44 [4] 6.24 mi (8:56 / mi) +122ft 8:46 / mi
shoes: Hoka Mafate Speed

Race with Grace 10K. Not great weather, mid-30's and a light rain, but at least it wasn't windy. Second year in a row running this race. Last year my time was 56:55, so I was a bit more than a minute faster this year. Anytime I can run faster now than when I was a year younger, I can't really complain.

My time and distance are from when I crossed the starting line. Official time will be 10-15 seconds or so longer.

Once again my GPS came out a little long for the total distance, even though most of the mile markers came out almost right on (with the exception of the 4-mile mark, which my GPS was 4.03 miles; but the 5 mile mark was again very close, less than 0.01 miles off).

Official time was 55:59. Finished 343 overall out of 798. 13th in my age group out of 24. I looked up the results from last year, and I finished 9th out of 21 then, with a slower time.

Running 17:40 [2] 1.85 mi (9:32 / mi) +46ft 9:19 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 5

Mini run on HJ trail. Hadn't run in 6 days due mainly to have a pretty bad cold at the end of last week and the weekend. Race with Grace 10K coming up in 2 days, so I thought I should remind my body what running is like.

Running ("Long") 54:07 [3] 5.76 mi (9:24 / mi) +140ft 9:11 / mi
shoes: Hoka Mafate Speed

Urban run, after doing some work on the Marion St house in preparation for a C of O inspection tomorrow. This is a "Long" run only by my current fairly lame standards. Not too many years ago, 5 mile would be a normal run and a long run would be 10 miles or longer. But times have changed, and I'm glad to be running at all, so no complaints!

Pickleball 1:15:00 [3]

Ladder league for 55 minutes (did OK, not great, didn't move up, didn't move down), then was asked to fill in with a threesome on the open play side, to make it a foursome, for one game.

Event: ROC - Ellison Park Night-O

5 PM

Orienteering 57:11 [2] 3.19 mi (17:56 / mi) +304ft 16:26 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Kahana 7

Night-O at Ellison. Made a couple of strategic mistakes, mainly going for two controls in very hilly terrain (kind of scary descent in on place, taking lots of time) when I could have gotten four controls in flatter areas. 17 controls total, out of 26. Finished about a third of the way back, last time I checked.

Update: Finished 12th out of 48 starters. Would have been only 2 spots higher if I had used better strategy.

Running hills 43:53 [3] 4.01 mi (10:57 / mi) +106ft 10:41 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 5

Whiting Rd, with trailsnail. Goal was to do two of the "outer loops" but I bailed on the plan after one loop, much to her disappointment. Too many roots on the trails covered with several inches of leaves ... So we did another, different and more mellow, trail loop.

Greenwood Park. Good group, 10 people max, with 2 courts.

7 PM

Pickleball 1:30:00 [3]

Ladder league for just under an hour. Played OK -- won two games, lost the third 11-6 so I took 28 points for the night. Two guys on my court tied with 29 points, so one of them moves up to court 1. The 4th guy was a sub, generally a very good player but he didn't win any tonight, and took 20 points.

Then I was asked to play on the open play side, because they only had 11 people and needed a 12th to fill out the 3rd court. Played 2 games.

Walking (Dog walk) 1:55:19 [1] 6.1 mi (18:54 / mi) +603ft 17:17 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 5

Walked the Mendon 10K course with Hanna. A few people had reported that the course seemed shorter than 10K -- one said his GPS gave 9.7K. My GPS also said it was a bit short, although not by quite that much. Converting the miles into km gives 9.83 km. My GPS is usually pretty accurate in terms of agreeing with course distances on certified road races. Obviously accuracy in the woods tends not to be as good as on roads.

Tracing the course on the O map of Mendon in OCAD and measuring the resulting line gives 10.07 km for what that's worth.

Today I also used an iPhone app, Runkeeper, to measure the distance, and that gave 6.19 miles, very close to 10K. However, I have no real experience with that app to know how good it normally is.
