hiking 40:00 [3]
Early morning hike in a very light rain that stopped halfway through. Pretty sore - as I expected - but nothing was really painful. Knees are still both a bit swollen but the icing and ibuprofen is working it's usual magic.
Did my good deed for the day. As I was leaving for work I noticed a cute little dog in my yard. Had tags with an address and I convinced it to follow me around the block and back home where the owner was just getting ready to go looking - the dog had gotten out of a gate left open accidentally.

orienteering race 1:05:05 [4]
Brown course at Governor Dick.
This was a bit bizarre - there was a control inside a deer enclosure, a very large one with only a few gates. It was really, really, really hard to find the gates on the map and I eventually just resorted to running along the fence hoping I was going in the shortest direction to a gate. Not sure I picked the optimal routes. Also a tad pissed that someone climbed the fence even though we were told at the start not to and told that the gates were tough to see on the map but that we had to use them.
This could all have been avoided by having a map at the start with the gates clearly marked.
Anyway, a physically tough course with lots of climb and lots of rocky ground. My knees were not happy. I am not in very good shape. But I ended up with one of the better times on the course.

orienteering 16:16 [3]
And then I decided to run the relay. Istvan and Andras agreed to run with me - we made a 6 point team. I hobbled around as fast as I could but lots of little kids totally smoked me. But it was enough for the win in the 6 point category. And would have been 2nd in the 3 point! Istvan and Andras had good runs. :)
Knees really not happy with this one.

Went out searching for a very overtime person. She came in while I was out but Vadim called to let me know; I was already heading back.
Can barely walk this evening.

walk/jog 46:28 [3]
TNT - on my own while Nick and Karl ran Karl's workout. (So cool to see him stick to his training plan and be so prepared for the JFK 50. Can't wait to see how he does.) I was a little nervous running on my own but took my pepper spray. It's rare that I look forward to getting out to run so I didn't want to not go.
Walked down to the drive and ran two miles (10:54, 10:51) then walked back up. Iced my knees after I got back.
Great soup again by Karl.
