Jogging warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.62 km (6:10 / km)
Before o course
Walking 26:00 [1] 2.4 km (10:50 / km)
Keeping the home troops happy.
10 AM
Orienteering 1:00:48 7.56 km (8:03 / km) +175m 7:13 / km
Decided I better do some O familiarization before March - so first run of 2012 was a rerun of 2011 Fall Festival Long at the Fells. Last run was hampered by jet lag/fatigue and errors on 2 legs = 64:25. Even at less than race pace managed to better that time. Focused on route choice, attack point and compass.
Some notable differences;
Route to 1 went left trail
6-7 more direct trail and cut across green (for green in general visibility better but runnability about the same underfoot).
10-11 was only real error again getting confused by trail system. Planned to aim off to get to right trail but got pulled left on compass through the choppy stuff.
11-12 executed better
The rest pretty similar and still not an easy map to pick up detail from because of the green screen.

XC ski (skate) 1:00:55 16.0 km (3:48 / km) +45m 3:45 / km
Beautiful day, great conditions at Weston, skiing on freshly groomed corduroy. Threw in some faster 2k ints at 3.30 pace interspersed with some technique work. Decent glide today - may invest in some HF wax to be a bit more dirt resistant.
Coulda skied all day, but places to go (Macy's apparently), people to see etc.
