Orienteering race 43:05 [4] *** 3.85 km (11:12 / km) +36m 10:42 / km
shoes: Nike Trail (Blue)
Yellow course at Hueston Woods, set by Jon Rauschenbach.
Rainy, and not too cold---I ran in short sleeves and was comfortable.
I was having a bad day running the SportIdent download. I tried getting a file online about 9am (at home), but windows hadn't been connected since about April, and it downloaded 18 or 19 windows updates. I waited as long as I could, but when I got the backup computer packed and in the car, 4 of those updates had installed.
Then, I remembered that my good inverter had a problem out at East Fork about a month ago, and that I really needed to buy a new one. Fortunately, I had a small 80 or 100W one in my car. Unfortunately, it simply wouldn't run my computer. So I got out the old one and tried it---It was working, but I was scared it would fail the entire time. It was actually intermittent, and I kept having to disconnect and reconnect the battery clips to reset it. I did smell burning electronics a few times, but it held out until Bill Donnelly finished (that's a joke---he was the last one, but not by much).
Being short on time, I decided to run Yellow. Aidan had some trouble with it, and I wanted to check it out. (It was a bit hard in a few places.)
Jon set a really nice course---it really kept me on my toes. And it was nice to run in the rain.
{edit} Oh---another sportident "issue": When I plugged the USB Master into my backup computer, I needed to install the driver---apparently, each USB Master we own or use needs to be set-up separately on each computer. I need to label the masters and verify they each work on all the computers.

Cycling 20:00 [3]
AMT or Elliptical Trainer 10:00 [3]
Walking 7:00 [1]
Cut the cooldown short---About halfway through the ellipical my heel popped and felt like it was swelling right in the middle of the heel pad. Limped away and back to the house. Feels better now.
Spent most of my day on Facebook setting up OCIN's Page.
Topo Adventure added a bunch of races to the Attackpoint event calendar---Check out my maybe events below (those with a "?"). I also added some other stuff under 400 miles away.

Swimming 10:00 [2]
A few laps at the pool mixed in with about 20 minutes of the first 2 (mostly floating) exercises from Total Immersion Swimming by Terry Laughlin. I didn't do so well on the exercises---I should have taken the book and re-read the instructions beforehand. I did the first one pretty well, I think, but the second---Oh man bad.
Met with Orunner and Mike Minium to discuss the TROL training camp that we're teaching in about 10 days.
Also, this is pretty cool: GPS Bear tracking---They swim long distances! Also, *four hour* data points! It hurts to look at the tracks! I wonder how much memory those trackers have and how long they record?
