orienteering 2:28:55 [2] 12.5 km (11:55 / km)
weight:134lbs shoes: integrators 2006
Well, I got talked into going to the Billygoat by a couple of postings on AP and a phone call from Phil, and I'm glad I went. Weather turned out perfect, rain on the drive out and drive back but sunshine during the event. And I made it around the course without wrenching the hamstring again. Which is good, because I have a rogaine starting in 6 days.
Plan was to walk everything in the woods or rough open and run slowly on roads/trails if it felt comfortable. And not to do anything dumb -- even when walking it would be easy to slip and take a tumble, especially on the steep rocky areas. So my mantra for the day was "Careful."
Right at the tail end of the crowd on the way to 1. I guess I passed a few people thereafter, but there was never a sense of doing that (you don't walk away from someone). I suppose I just got by a few folks when they made mistakes.
Course was relatively friendly and very nice. Great job by Bill Jameson (head goat) and Glen Tryson (course setter).
I'd been to the previous 28 versions of the BG in one role or another, and it felt good to be there for the 29th.

Note
Well, seems like I'm going to the Billygoat after all. Phil needs someone to drive him home.

run/hike 47:33 [3]
weight:134lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06
Same as Monday, but quicker, breathing hard on the way up even though I was walking, and working a bit harder on the way down too. 9:57 to start of climb, 15:18 up, 22:18 run back on the jeep trail.
Otherwise getting lots of non-logged rogaine practice.
Skipping the Billygoat. If I showed up I would probably try to walk/jog it, and there's no sense in hurting the hamstring again with a rogaine next weekend.

Same as last Wednesday, brisk walk from the gate to the start of the PLPC (10:03), then up the PLPC to the top (15:59), then run back slowly down the jeep trail (24:31). Felt ok while doing it, but will see how things feel tomorrow.
Plus 20 pushups. Alternating these with pull-ups, 8 of them yesterday.
