I wasn't sure what I'd have in my legs, but I decided to give it a shot and see. If I had to jog, I'd jog.
I definitely felt tired, but still good enough for 2nd behind Ben Robinson (Hoka-sponsored athlete). So I guess it is true that we have much more in us than we think.
Wanted to bike over, but since Rob and Brenda were coming through town I didn't have enough time for the return trip. I'm going to start my car-lite summer experiment today.

My friend Steve rocked it and I came in 2nd ten minutes after him. But he's been doing efforts like this all spring. This is my first hard 2-hour run. Looking forward to more races like this over the summer to continue to build fitness.

It's amazing how a long day of cycling like this feels so much easier than 40 minutes of orienteering in Harriman. Coasting the downhills helps with that.

Again, I tried to memorize each leg before running them. Worked pretty well and easier to maintain direction in the green and vague areas with my compass : )

Technically this course went well. But physically it was just tough to fight through so much leafed-out blueberry. I did have a few hesitations here and there though. They probably added up to close to a minute.

Circuit Training 15:00 [3]
I'm joining Kevin and Sydney for a short camp in Harriman over the next few days.
But I also spoke with the ESC to say that I'd prefer not to be selected for WOC if a spot became available. I don't like rushing to specifically prepare for a race a few weeks out, especially when it is a significant investment of time, effort, and money.
I am planning on racing at the Italian World Cup in September when international travel is (hopefully) significantly less complicated. And since there are no team trials I can focus specifically on preparing for that event and putting all the pieces in place.
I'm planning on taking a few bike tours over the summer also. So I'm quite excited for that.

Forgot my compass at the campsite so I decided to practice basing my navigation only the terrain since that's possible here.
Also from 9 to finish I only looked at the map for 10 seconds at the start of each leg. The rest of each leg was on memory. It's always surprising how much faster I can run that way.

Checking out some new terrain. I did very little work on the map because I usually try to decide if the terrain is worth the effort before putting more work into it. This definitely merits more work. Very technical forest. Hickory Run-style beech forest, but generally more open with rocky ground in the lower, swampy bits and a few large boulders here and there.
Ben and Danny joined me but bailed before 11. We decided to shorten the course to 11 after a collapsed bridge made our warmup significantly longer.
The georeferencing was off by about 30m. I believe it's because the whole map is large enough (160km2) that some distortion is starting to take effect. I'll have to test again with a smaller map.
This map is also a bikeable distance from my house. That's fun.
