| Millers Falls, Northfield, Turners Falls. Modest effort going out, working harder on the way back as the wind (in my face) was picking up.
Still aggravated about my orienteering on the weekend. But it also has me thinking of ways to remedy things. |

Thursday May 20 |
| trail running 2:39:40 [3] | |
| |
| With Ken Walker, from BM 461.4 NNE over Putney and Windmill Mts and a bit more. No big hills but lots of ups and downs. Nice day, nice trail (not too rocky), though I did a face plant in the first ten minutes that my ribs did not appreciate. |
Wednesday May 19 |
| orienteering 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Training with George at Mt. Tom, lots of stops to talk about technique. Good fun but not too strenuous, just what I needed. |
Tuesday May 18 |
| trail running 48:12 [3] | |
| ahr:142 max:168 |
| Jeep trail up Wantastiquet Mt. just east of Brattleboro, about 1,000' climb, plus a little bit on a meandering trail around the top. Ran the whole way, barely. Sore quads from yesterday, also feeling tired, took some will power to do (was on my way home after 18 holes with Mike Fritz, first round of the season, 89, could have been a lot worse....). |

| I've added my routes and comments from last weekend's A meet at Sebago. |

| Seven Sisters course from the Notch west to sister "C" (hill 855) and back. About 2,500' climb. Good effort. Got to do some good training in the next five weeks after missing a couple of weeks because of the rogaine. |
Sunday May 16 |
| orienteering 49:07 [4] 4.65 km (10:34 / km) +240m 8:24 / km | |
| ahr:152 max:171 |
| Day 2. Got off to a bad start, just not paying any attention and went running way past where I meant to turn in for the first one. When I did go back I got caught in some real thick stuff. At one point as I was about to climb over a fallen log in the laurel, I noticed at the last moment that there was a good-sized black snake draped all over it. "Shoo," I said, and sort of waved for it to get out of my way, but it held its ground -- it was there first -- and I decided going around the log was a better choice. Mistakes, jungles, snakes, all in the first five minutes and I hadn't even found #1 yet.
The rest of the way -- mostly in the green it seemed -- was hard work but reasonably uneventful. Overall, a good workout. |

| HVO A meet at Sebago. Entered Green course figuring I wouldn't feel so good after the rogaine. Actually felt ok, but not so good that I felt like switching to Red at the last moment. Decent effort, no mistakes at controls but a couple of routes were questionable. |

| Ribs still killing me. Take that back, they're not bad as long as I don't move. Off to Arizona tomorrow for the rogaine, could be a long 24 hours. Bought a new bottle of advil just in case.
On the positive side, I will be well rested! |
