Run (River road) 45:00 [3] 4.0 mi (11:15 / mi)
shoes: Asics2
Terrible run today, my lungs felt as if their capacity was cut in half. A bit of an upset stomach, not sure what's going on but nothing felt right. Robin and Alice joined me so it was still a fun run, lots of girl talk.

Orienteer 59:20 [3] 4.0 mi (14:50 / mi)
shoes: Icebug Spirit-L olx
MNOC Family Day-- I still can't convince my kids that orienteering is a great idea, but the rest of my family, in town from various parts of the globe... had no choice but to come along. Orienteering was the planned activity of the day.
Robin (sis) and I teamed up for the 60 minute Score-O. We were slowed down considerably due to the fact that her pants were not full length- stopped just below the knee.... and WOB may be the scratchiest terrain we have.
We hit the easier controls near the start, stopped to look at Julia's Baby Bird Exhibit, went along to the hill near the railroad track...
then debated (purely hypothetically) whether a tunnel underneath a railroad track might be considered "crossing" a railroad track. Robin is a journalist, so I trust her definition of "crossing" meaning it had to go OVER. Result: lots of itch weed which I had to trample down in front of Robin creating a somewhat passable path.
All in all we navigated okay, were fast enough on trail but very slow off trail and got 7 controls (though maybe not the best ones); and I was eying an eighth when our president said "You only have 13 minutes to get back". I looked at my map, figured he wasn't just messing w me, and we ran back with 40 seconds to spare.
My parents enjoyed watching and meeting people, Ty liked running around from control to control (he didn't even really need the map or compass...) and Robin was mad at me for letting her run through nettles without long pants - but she will do it again. I'm trying to get her to move back to MN.
Thanks for such a great event, it was so much fun to have more time to do multiple events, hang around. Tom... nice job and thanks to Kelly too. And Andrei. and?

Orienteer (Sprint WOB) 16:53 [3] 1.81 km (9:20 / km)
shoes: Icebug Spirit-L olx
I probably should have had some carbs between the two events. I could barely make it to the first control, maxed out on breathing, legs, at a slowish pace. I felt this way for almost every control, no "joy" feelings, kept pushing through and probably a good training exercise to orienteer hard on an easy route while exhausted.

Note
No camping....
Wish we would have been able to stay for camping at WOB. Once my parents were settled back at my house, the energy had gone from Ty/Robin and I still "kind of" wanted to go, but not enough to energize the rest of the crew. I guess that's kind of what I expected; sorry to have missed the fun!

Roller Blade (Lakeland bike trail) 20:00 [3] 4.0 mi (5:00 / mi)
My daughter Taylor coaxed me into roller blading with her, it's been so long for me that she had to be very patient; but it slowly came back, some of the caution went away, was good fun.
Not too strenuous because I get afraid at a much slower pace then I get tired. We're planning Lake Elmo next week. A bit smoother I think.

Run (Coulee and W ASP) 1:14:24 [4] 7.64 mi (9:44 / mi) +274m 8:46 / mi
shoes: Asics2
Left Sheboygan before 7 AM so I could meet my parents at the airport in Minneapolis shortly after 1 PM. I only found out on Friday that they were coming... shortened the Kettle Morain experience a bit, but I expect I'll be back in a few weeks so it wasn't too horrible to have to leave.
(maprunner and disorienteer... I'm sure you got my note...but again, good fun and thanks for all the training help.)
It was nice to be on the road early with my coffee; and I love driving through Wisconsin. It may be the most beautiful area in the US that has more than country music on the radio stations.
Now I'm back at my busy house, with parents, kids and my nephew, and me there to cater to all of them (In all fairness, my kids are old enough now that they are a great help, although it's given a bit begrudgingly. I have a feeling I'll pay. Literally!)
SO.. after dinner I went for a run to get away. (Hey, I lasted over six hours with family!) I also felt I needed a run. This weekend was great, but no real strenuous exercises...... a few sore spots, some twists and strains... continuous exercise but slow and steady.
Today's run was hot and tiring and just what I needed today.... stopped a number of times "for Alice".
