Note
Lots of college friends in town for the wedding, so I spent the day driving to the airport, then sharing time and meals with everyone.
I, like Sam, also went shopping in the evening. If CSU Bowling section adopts these as part of the uniform...
then put me in coach, I'm ready to play.

Road run 1:10:28 [2] 7.39 mi (9:32 / mi) +109m 9:07 / mi
Left Ari sleeping on the futon, very much dead to the world. Sam and I ran around Newton and surrounds. Sam wanted to go longer but I was already stressed about scheduling things in relation to the wedding so I talked her down. Well I did say that she could add on, but she stuck with me.
orienteering 18:41 [5] 2.02 mi (9:15 / mi) +64m 8:25 / mi
Short little Green course at Hammond Pond. Very fun and good course that made use of the best areas. A lot of controls were very close to the night-o from Thursday. The Hughes/Williams family did a great job. Wish I could have stayed longer and run the other courses and helped out some.
I know the area very well so it's hard to have a large mistake. Lost some time on 6, when I got a little right off my line. I recognized where I was too easily and could correct okay. I would have liked to push a little harder, but not a bad effort I think.
also, thanks Alex for finding my SI card.

Back home, well to the grocery store to pick up burrito fixings. Then home to cook a little before meeting the crew for CSU training.
on a sidenote, my ex-roommate Emily went running at Hammond Pond that night and saw a lady with a map and said " are you orienteering". Yes, we have taught her well. She had run into Kelley and Jakob who were getting an early start.
Also Ed, Alexei, Katia, Giovanni, Giacomo came along for training and Dean arrived in time for at least some dinner and lively course discussions.
I meant to go get a run in, but ran out of time. Oh well, I'll run it once more when I pick up the controls sometime next week.

biking 17:54 [2] 3.54 mi (5:03 / mi) +70m 4:46 / mi
home. And then I sat down, and designed a course at Hammond Pond, dug out the reflective controls, repaired a few strings, printed a map (thanks again mom and dad for the printer) and set out across the street to hang controls.
8 PM
orienteering 1:12:12 [3] 2.91 mi (24:49 / mi) +87m 22:42 / mi
Takes a long time to set flags at night. Was happy to be wearing shoes with spikes. My new Ice Bugs are making me very happy. I guess I hung one of the controls on the wrong (and unmapped) cliff. The danger of hanging controls in a different direction than the course runs is that you don't get to experience the legs the way the runners will be coming.

To Danehy track to meet the CSU running section for a track workout.
Track 3:39 [2] 0.53 mi (6:53 / mi)
I showed up in time for a few drills and then strides (run the straights, jog the curves for 800).
Track 31:01 4.54 mi (6:50 / mi)
1600@5-8k pace, 5x800@ 3-5k pace, 400 rest after the 1600, and 200 after the other pieces.
A beautiful night and a good workout. Mark wasn't there tonight, so I was the quickest in the group. I did a better job with pacing tonight and was pleased with my times especially considering how exceptionally windy it was. I had decided to aim for 5:08, and 2:32 and was a bit faster.

Biking home. I'm always pretty tired as soon as I sit down at home on Tuesday evenings. Running hard takes a lot out of me I guess.
