Event: Boggs Mountain A-Meet
trail run warm up/down 10:00 [3]
orienteering race 1:33:54 [4] 10.0 km (9:23 / km) +500m 7:31 / km
20c
Boggs Mtn Long
2 minute mistake on 5, a couple of hesitations, couple of dodgy route choices, mostly good, but not enough power for the second half of the course, where most of the climb was. Four consecutive fastest splits coming up to halfway put me in the lead, but not for long. Happy with second.
The orienteering reminded of Czech style, not stuff I have any particular problem with, but one has to be diligent (and I wasn't at 5).
Funny the randoms that turn up - Clem, Celine (with a Trinity O-top!), Kat, Dean, Lou, Sharon...
It was nice having oxygen to breathe.

trail run 45:00 [3]
Trail and off-trail run around the top of Tahoe-Donner.
Beautiful out, good terrain, great views.
Poor Caol Ila 12yo. In glasses like that. My oh my.

Note
Rest day. Did an hour of 'mapping', teaching myself Ghettocad out in the woods. It's pretty cool. And mapping is tough.
Trying to decide whether to fly back east or to drive. Driving would be via Arizona, Albuquerque, Bentonville, Memphis, Nashville, maybe DC...
Seems like 8 days would be theoretically possible, so 10 should be doable.
Still have to head west though, got some proper route-choices on Saturday!

Boreal East. Fun area, body would appear to be tired. Can't think why.
Out for 1h15, walked some.

running 54:00 [3]
Hill intervals with Greg and Jonas. 10*42s + 2*32s... downhill recovery.
Breathing is tough, even down at a lowly 6,000 ft, throat wanted to implode at the top of each lap.
You'd think all the training I did at 8-10,000 ft would have counted for something.

Woo, a comfy couch and internet. Started uploading photos and filling out recent ap entries.
Edit: Haha, done!! Time to go training again.

bike 30 [3]
Borrowed Greg's MTB, which was big enough for me, and headed out for a quick spin to loosen up. Necessary after not yesterday's run/deydrate/walk/lake/no-stretch combo.
Fun.
Fun.
orienteering 1:00:00 [3]
Burton Creek, Tahoe
Fun woods, found the map a bit tough to read. It didn't get easier when I worked out the non-ISOM features, as by then it was getting well dark. It was also a little disconcerting being chased by a gorilla.

trail run 2:00:00 [3] 16.0 km (7:30 / km) +400m 6:40 / km
Yosemite, Tenaya Lake to Sunrise High Sierra Camp and back.
This was the human equivalent of trying to drive across Nevada without enough gas.
The return was slow, walked the uphills. It was a sub-optimal choice of route anyway, should have run off-trail on rock and in the woods, for a shorter distance. Oh well. Pretty anyhow.
Swam in the beautiful Tenaya Lake afterwards.
And then attained my next major goal:
Will do some log-padding tomorrow (words, not training)!
