Orienteering 1:53:03 [3] *** 6.21 km (18:12 / km) +176m 15:56 / km
ahr:122 max:149 spiked:7/10c slept:6.0 shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
SW part of the Partridge Run map in West Berne. Green course, SL 4.9 km, no climb given
Started at the top of the hill so I knew I'd have to come back up at the end (trudge).
Course by Phil HT seemed more long-orange than advanced difficulty but I still had minor problems inside the circle on three points. One was a "dot knoll" which was almost invisible in the terrain and the flag was tucked down behind the 0.5m side of the rock bit that was sticking out of the ground (invisible from the other direction). Another was tucked into a crevice near the top of a cliff which I was approaching from below so I didn't see the flag until I circled around it. And one was due to tiredness and me seeing a distinct pine tree and not noticing that the circle for the one I wanted covered the first tree I found and the other was just a few meters away. Started after and finished before Sue, so I'm happy with that.
I should also clarify that even though I "spiked" number 4, the round-about route shown is because I thought I was headed to 5 after 3 before realizing I had to climb up another hill.
Fun crossing higher than mapped creeks and beaver-created wetlands (I didn't trust the beaver dams with high water on one side, so waded to my knees at one point). :-) Temp about 33F, sunny but breezy. My feet have thawed out now.

Pilates class 52:00 [1]
slept:7.0
A class with no external tools, meaning body weight would come into play. Not too much of a problem (with modified push-ups).

Testing out new Saucony shoes. Will need to try them again before making a decision. Happy with my mile times.

Note
Arrived home this evening to find the most snow of the season in our driveway...about 5-6".

Orienteering race 1:00:49 [4] *** 4.25 km (14:19 / km) +119m 12:33 / km
ahr:146 max:176 spiked:8/11c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Flying Pig day 2 brown, 3.3 km 170m nominal stats. Either they counted wrong or I avoided a lot of potential climb (or the watch/AP algorithm is wrong).
I thought it might be a good idea to take my hiking pole with me today, and I used it a bit on the way to the start and then collapsed it while waiting for my start time. So on the way to 1 I was fiddling with it to get it lengthened again, and couldn't get the stops to lock. I wasn't paying close attention to what I was doing but didn't drift too far; ended up near the depressions south of the control, not very far away, just slow getting there. By the time I left headed for 2, two of my competitors who had started later caught up to me...frustrating! But what I deserved. I managed to jog some on trails or roads, and dropped my ineffective pole near the finish area on the way from 4 to 5.
Bit of a long way around to 4 once I left the road to supposedly avoid some climb; and slightly off to the left approaching 5 but I think I recovered faster than some of those just behind me. 6 could have been tricky but I had no trouble. The rest was just slogging up hills just to go back down again, or at least that's how it seemed. An uphill finish at the end...
18th on the course and 3rd in F60. Not sure how they calculated places for the weekend (I was 4th Saturday and 3rd today), because we didn't hang around for awards and full results aren't posted yet. Nice job by OCIN, as always. My *only* quibble was that it looks to me as though the 1:10000 maps have 1:15000-size symbols; I could see them with my magnifier but just barely sometimes.
--------
Knee seems to be doing slightly better with the NSAID regimen but I still need a pillow at night between my knees. At least it doesn't hurt as much as when I competed in Georgia in January. So I'll keep at it (both the NSAIDs and the orienteering) and try to add in some different exercise routines if I can.
