Orienteer 30:00 [3]
shoes: ORoc 12
CAOC meet at Willow Springs. Hot and very green (tons of barberry & rose). Was doing fine until a route choice put me into impenetrable wall of green and I bounced against it for some time and bailed to far trail for another attack. Two controls later, flag was misplaced. I lost tons of time looking in the area of the boulder (which I found) until I finally decided to skip it and head to next control. Surprise!! There's the flag on the other side of the spur on small unmapped stone. Others had trouble but courses never get thrown out here.
Calf was stiffening-up and not looking forward to the hilly area so I just headed back. Good thing because it got much worse on the walk and now has me a bit worried about being healthy for next weekend.

Bike (mtn.) 2:50:00 [3] 32.0 mi (5:19 / mi)
Family ride to Highland Park for lunch at Walker Brothers. Kinda hot so the only thing that looked appealing was a Caesar salad. Can't remember the last time (if ever) I ordered a salad entree.
Legs kinda tired after yesterday. Good to get out though.

Bike 1:45:00 [3] 20.0 mi (5:15 / mi)
DRT ride to 22 & back with Katie. Got her some SPD shoes & pedals for her hybrid bike. This made a ton of difference for her and we were mostly riding the same pace. Very fun.

Run 45:00 [3] 4.3 mi (10:28 / mi)
shoes: Mizuno WR 12
OO run with Peek. Tried to get out before the path filled with the weekenders but not really successful. Dogs (off leashes), couples and even a few horses which I'm not sure Peek had ever seen. Se was very interested in them; too interested.

Gorgeous day. Finally got in a ride that is as much fun as I remember. Biked to Kenosha & back; great destination. Roads a bit more trafficked than I prefer but it was a weekday.

Orienteer (long) 2:17:59 [4] ***** 8.7 km (15:52 / km) +305m 13:30 / km
shoes: ORoc 12
Oooffff. This was a physical slog; if not over rocks then through blueberry bushes. Found the course quite good and I enjoyed the navigational challenge. Did miss a few to varying degrees and sure would like to know what I did on 5; must have walked right by it initially.
The weekend reaffirmed my confidence in my navigation. Just need to put the whole package back together.

Event: 33rd West Point A Meet
10 AM
Orienteer (middle) 52:57 [5] ***** 3.8 km (13:56 / km) +165m 11:27 / km
shoes: ORoc 12
West Point middle course - Red
Always enjoyably challenged by Harriman / WP terrain and this was no different. Stayed in good touch with map. Although there were some areas of inconsistent mapping, this did not affect me as much as my own doings. My three main misses were 8, 9 & 10 and all for different reasons. 14 seemed like some serious map screwiness and I will know when I get my quickroute together. More then.
A very enjoyable race. So glad I went. Love it.

West Point Sprint - Red
Everyone seemed to go left to 1 but I looked quickly and right was better but bobbled ending and gave up any advantage. Will leave detail analysis for later, if ever. Generally missed more than I ought and was quite pooped-out for the later half. Blah.

Bike (road) 1:30:00 [3] 20.0 mi (4:30 / mi)
Morning was warm & sunny so I expected warmer & sunnier for the afternoon and didn't look at weather. Was colder, windier & rainier and my mindset was inexplicably crappy, like the weather.
