| MNOC--Tamarck Night-O |
| Mtn Biking 2:00:00 [3]*** 10 km (12:00 / km) | |
| spiked:32/32c |
| Setting and retrieving controls at Battle Creek. Very fast to do it by mtn bike. |
| Orienteering race (Night) 49:55 [4]*** 5 km (9:59 / km) | |
| spiked:11/14c shoes: Vasque Blur 2 |
| Clean and fast run minus 2 substantial mistakes. 1 was a 6 min. doozie causedy thinking I was leaving a different control than I actually was, then not readin terrain properly. 2nd was maybe 2 minutes caused by missing a spur and looking around a depression.
Lowlight of the night was running past a group of three people on the trail, all of them moving back and forth in front of me, and one of them sticking his leg out, acting like he was going to trip me. All I said was "That's not funny," as he and his friends were laughing it up.
Lots of wildlife 3 deer, 4 raccoons--one I thought was a skunk--and a ssmall bird that I jumped and chased down the trail. |

| spiked:10/12c shoes: Vasque Blur 2 |
| Setting out punches at O event at the Arboretum. Made a couple of silly mistakes, mostly a scale issue. |
| Orienteering 20:00 [5]*** 2.5 km (8:00 / km) | |
| spiked:12/12c shoes: Vasque Blur 2 |
| Retreiving controls. I realized as the program was getting over that I had to pick the kids up in S. mpls in about an hour and I was in Chaska. More motivation than nearly any competition I've been in in some time. |

| (rest day) |
| I am spent. Had difficulty getting enough energy last night to get the kids to bed and then get off the couch to go to bed myself. Muscles aren't as sore as I expected, but there's still time for DOMS. I will enter workout and splits tonight or tomorrow. |
