 | Trail Run 40:00 [3] 7 km (5:43 / km) | |
| shoes: Montrail Vitesse II (2006, gra |
| Warmup (25 min) and cooldown (15 min looking for my hat) at Lake Elmo. Trails had about 2 in of snow, and earlier in the morning at least, a lot of ski tracks. However, it wasn't a good day to use your new pair of skis. |
| Orienteering 33:48 [4] * 4.6 km (7:21 / km) | |
| spiked:11/11c shoes: Montrail Vitesse II (2006, gra |
| New best time on the long POC. More importantly, this was my first real off trail run since the ankle injury - with good results. I'm going to be conservative and wrap it for PT next weekend, though.
While I was out between 10:30 -11:30 I saw three separate groups of parent + kid(s) doing the POCs - 2 on the beginner and 1 on the intermediate. It seems to be pretty popular. |
Thursday Nov 24 |
| Machine Workout 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| 1/2 hour on the cardio-glide before T-Day dinner. Too cold and windy to run (wind chills near 0). Of course, I'll be enjoying such temperatures a couple months from now, once there's snow on the ground. |

| It seems the first blast of winter has arrived! Time to get the skis out of storage. (The first couple of snows will probably melt to mush, though - the ground is too warm.) |
Sunday Nov 13 |

| Paddling (kayak) 3:00:00 [2] 6.0 mi (29:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Paddled up the Miss from downtown Champlin, up the Rum River. Got to play in a little fast water (not white tho!) just below the Rum River Dam, then portaged around it and paddled up past the sanitarium through sunset. Turned around and had a fast downstream paddle back. Took some more PQ video. |

Sunday Nov 6 |
| Note | |
| |
| Hyland O-meet (Minnegoat) |
| Ropes 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Well, I can pretty much walk as long as the ankle is wrapped up, but it's a little lopsided. Went out to do some rappel and ascending work at Taylors Falls. Dan and Rebecca joined Mark and I and we shot some video and still photos to edit into our PQ team tape.

Friday Nov 4 |
| Orienteering race 20:00 [4] *** 2.9 km (6:54 / km) | |
| spiked:9/9c (injured) shoes: Denver Salomons |
| 4th and last Wirth Park adventure run - Night-O. From the 9th to 10th control, I was leading by 2:00 over Graham when I stepped in a bad rut and sprained my right ankle. Unable to put weight on it, and I had to DNF. However, it seems like the injury isn't is bad as the one in 2004 at SLOC's spring A-meet. Unfoturnately, I'm out for the Minnegoat on Sunday :( but might be racing again in 2-3 weeks.
