walk dog 50:27 [1] 2.56 mi (19:42 / mi)
shoes: Defyance 3 #1 (bike)
Orienteering 44:11 [3] 3.12 mi (14:10 / mi)
spiked:5/11c shoes: Merrill Barefoot Trail
Rusty - first meet of the season.
Home course - cocky. Should have stayed on paths. Of course, most of the loss was in the section of the park where I just don't have a good mental image of.
--
Bad planning (ok, lack of any planning) to get from point A to B. And over, and over and over again. When I put down 5 spikes, it means I had 6 really bad controls. -- confirmed by the splits - 5 reds with lost time, for a total of 10:38 of 44:12. Yowza.
--
Don't try to 'cut across' the vine-y stuff. Best part was that I was not paying attention to my compass, so when I hit a path, it was a N-S one, and not the E-W that I was aiming for. So then I started running full tilt - in the absolute wrong direction. ... Duh.
--
Raining, muddy.
--
I never have shoelaces coming untied, but I had to tie them up (triple-tie) three separate times, but those darn grabber-vines somehow manage to pull pull pull until they are undone. I could not believe it.
--
By the time I was to run down Corderoy, I had no energy in the legs. That's where I could have made good time.

Orienteering 1:30:04 [3] 5.62 mi (16:02 / mi)
spiked:8/20c weight:161.8lbs shoes: Merrill Barefoot Trail
Glasses fogged up. And I had nothing to wipe them with - my shirt just put wet bug spray all over them. Luckily, my running shorts were able to clear them off somewhat. I almost took a DNF before that, as I could not see anything. I need new glass to run in. I attribute some of my problems to an inability to see the map clearly.
Biggest error was not doubling back after getting #7 - I kept going north across the whole west side, where there were no controls to be had.

J really wanted to go to the west side - it seems to be his favorite area in MPP. However, it had been a while since we had done the east side, so I insisted. The path was pretty beat up from one of the storms over the last two weeks. There were also a couple trees down across some of the wider paths.
I had put on bug spray, but 1/2 mile in, I had to get out another wipe to put more on my neck, and put some on J's neck, head and ears. That did the trick of chasing the FDF's away.

Note
TMI - 50 years old. Have signed up for a colonoscopy. The 16 hours before the procedure sounds dreadful.
And eating no vegetables for 4 days before that? No oatmeal? aaargh.
Sounds like it's bacon and eggs time. What happens if I start loving that diet?

-- Then J sneaks in later to somehow get his mouth onto the table to finish it off. He comes trotting out of the back room with a big smile, and cat-food breath.

---
Upper shins tired (strange) - assume that it was from yesterday's rowing rather than the new shoes.
---
Lots of women out running this morning (some who I've seen before, some not). It was like I stumbled across a running camp.
---
Did double-take at home - we had a ceramic rabbit in our front garden. Today, a real rabbit was sitting in the exact same spot. .... Gee, I don't remember the rabbit being so realistic before!
