Orienteering (Green) 1:07:57 [4] 4.36 mi (15:35 / mi) +728ft 13:28 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011
Powder Mills Park Green course. Finished around the middle of the pack.
A few relatively minor bobbles or sub-optimum route choices, plus a couple of places of other lost time (making a stop for water, which probably cost me 1.5-2 minutes, and running into my son and grandson who were doing Yellow, which delayed me for 1-2 minutes).
Mostly, what prevented a better time was lack of endurance from not doing much running lately.

Front yard only.

Pickleball 1:15:00 [1]
Pickleball at Webster Park. I played mostly right-handed -- probably 50 minutes right handed, 25 minutes left handed. My elbow felt fine while playing, but of course, the key is whether it feels OK later today and tomorrow.

Walk/run (Dog walk) 44:01 [3] 4.05 mi (10:52 / mi) +40ft 10:46 / mi
shoes: Saucony Cohesion
Run on (mostly) Hojack Trail, with Homer. I backed off to 1 min running/1 min walking but increased the duration to 44 minutes which was almost exactly 4 miles.
New GPS arrived today and was successfully initiated on this run/walk.
Once again, the calculated climb was way high, at 190 feet. I put in an estimate of 40 feet.

Walk/run (Dog walk) 32:00 [3] 3.12 mi (10:15 / mi) +176ft 9:44 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3
Walk/run on the Hojack trail. This time I actually did more running than walking -- 1:15 of running followed by 0:45 of walking.
Ailing GPS update: Today, I was able to use the "up" scroll button so I could navigate to the screen I wanted, which shows distance, lap pace, and elapsed time. Much more useful than time of day and elevation, like I was stuck with last time.
I ordered a new one last week, and it should be here around mid week. When my old one worked a bit better today, I started thinking that maybe it really wasn't necessary to order a new one. But when I hooked it up to my computer just now, the computer wouldn't recognize it, even after multiple attempts. So I do think a new one is in order, due to the flakiness of my current one.
Update: The latest problem, of failure to communicate with my computer, seems to be caused by a cable that failed, rather than the GPS itself. I was able to download with no problem when I used a new cable.
