Walking 1:00:00 [1] 5.0 km (12:00 / km)

Walked to the model event and back with Kris (and Sandy on the way back). The walk to included a detour on the road to the parking area close to the start for day 1. Really spooked the event organizers when we showed up there.

Orienteering (Model Event) 1:10:00 [2] *** 2.4 km (29:10 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Did the model event with Kris H. She had me do some pace counting. Took turns doing legs.

Orienteering race (Relay Leg 2) 22:30 [2] *** 2.3 km (9:47 / km) +60m 8:39 / km
slept:3.0 shoes: Silva K80

Ran the White/Yellow leg of the relay - one stupid route choice, especially since I didn't have gaiters on. Should have stuck to the trail. Well, my bloody legs got me all kinds of attention - I love attention! ;)

Orienteering race (COCC Sprint) 18:24 [4] *** 2.19 km (8:24 / km) +60m 7:23 / km

Started one minute behind Eileen B. Kept her in sight through 3 controls and finished less than 2 minutes behind. Good hard effort with only a little bobble at the end.

Orienteering race (Arnold Ice Cave) 1:11:04 [4] *** 4.09 km (17:23 / km) +70m 16:00 / km
shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Actual distance covered was 6.1 km. Well, it doesn't replace Beuna Vista in terms of sheer misery only becasue I wasn't out there 3+ hours...but a tough event in terms of conditions for me. It was so dusty/sandy!! And when it wasn't sandy underfoot, it was scrubby and rocky. Started 2 minutes behind Eileen B and caught her at 1. Found 2 first with a couple minute error and we were close at 3 & 4. May have found 5 first, and then into butterfly loops. Whew, the pressure was off and I ended up finishing about 13 minutes behind Eileen thanks in part to a 6 minute error on 14.
My throat was parched at the end - full of sand!! Our only water stop was about a third of the way through the course.

Misc warm up/down 8:00 [1] 0.5 mi (16:00 / mi)
weight:184lbs

Jog down to the track and back to meet Nancy for a run. Scale says there was too much sitting around and eating pizza and brownies at the race yesterday.

Running/Walking (BC Long Run in reverse) 51:00 [2] 4.2 mi (12:09 / mi)

Legs fresh after two days "off", so I ran Nancy a little faster than she would have liked. But she hung in there just fine. A few walking breaks, though less than Friday. Breathing excellent.

Misc (Mini Boot Camp) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi

40 s/u, p/u, & L/L

Mowing/Yard (Mowed lawn) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi

Event: 2005 PNWOF and 2005 USA Champs

None 0.0 mi

Well, I am not on the west coast until Tuesday evening. Spent today getting some decluttering done. Foisted gobs of stuff off on my mother, and hid lots of boxes in the closet.

Running/Walking (Neighborhood) 51:00 [1] 4.1 mi (12:26 / mi)
slept:6.0

Met Nancy (from last month's Boot Camp) at 6 AM for a run. A little slower than if I were alone, but faster than what I can run in my bed.
Walked to start, then ran some and walked some as needed. Ran all the way up the hill at the end. Felt comfortable. Knees aching when I got up so Advil was part of breakfast.
Two pairs of socks and tying tighter seems to be working - sensitive spots on heels aren't getting irritated.

Misc (Mini BC) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi

(30 p/u 30 s/u 30 Leg lifts) x 2
Prerun weight 181, post run 179 - I know this is not real, but it sure was nice to see.
