orienteering 50:00 [3] 5.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Did the first 3 sections of an orienteering training provided by Boris ( I think originating from Jagge) I wanted to do the whole set, but it's not a good week for me to show up 15 minutes late to work so I'll do the D-map sometime soon.
A exercise was a bearing exercise where the challenge was to run on straight line across the whole map without using the map or compass to alter direction. I did a good job of not looking at the map, but I kept looking at my compass as that's a hard habit to break and I had forgotten that it was strictly forbidden, but I did a pretty good job with keeping my eyes up and moving, I think, straight in the terrain. Need to download the Garmin to tell for sure.
B exercise were some contouring challenges. Staying on a contour in a blanked out section of that map (I think I did this one well) on another trickier greener section of the map ( I got down too low on a different contour) and then following a long contour all the way across the map ( went okay).
C exercise was trail running, speed was key. Then jumping off the trail to get a control. This I did very well, and it was a nice way to end the session.

To Lori's after work, for CSU training/planning meeting.
orienteering 45:00 [3]
Harvard Circuit-O. Lori designed a course around the Harvard campus. At each control, we had a couple of exercises/form drills to perform. lots of core work and toe raises and butt kicks, lunges etc. It was fun, though chilly.
Afterward it was back to Lori's for a productive session of CSU planning!
