Orienteering 1:00:00 [1] *** 2.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
4c

Three groups of beginners:

* The opening 10 person group, which is more than I have command presence for
* The most successful group, an enthusiast pair studying up for their AR debut at Luddington
* A very nice mom learning a lot about orienteering for her son's merit badge while he wandered aimlessly well behind us learning nothing and yet being quite proud of his ignorance

I think deleting white and offering a lesson is a valid setup. Maybe should have host do the 500 m sampler course design and hang for it, keeps me from learning too much.
1 PM

Orienteering 1:21:03 intensity: (2:23 @1) + (30:04 @2) + (38:01 @3) + (10:13 @4) + (22 @5) 5.67 mi (14:18 / mi) +162m 13:08 / mi
ahr:155 max:222 spiked:24/26c slept:9.0 shoes: Roclites 295 2

Felt fine until #7, lost a couple minutes doing an AR-style increasing radius, finally spotted on other spur. Then 8-9 in the field I started to redline, which I wasn't expecting, ye argh.

Half went red on one other hill, but the biggest mojo wrecker was the stolen #15 - I swept every reentrant on the ridge, checked the flag on the stream, went to #16 and came back just in case.... Unfortunate. How does one feel entitled to steal a flag?

That zapped some snap from my finishing run, so coupled with my extended time at #15 I don't feel my finishing place reflected my status.

I like this format for post hiatus rust busting, and I still think it's good middle/sprint prep for Pig.

Orienteering 33:10 intensity: (19:32 @1) + (10:44 @2) + (2:14 @3) + (28 @4) + (12 @5) 1.8 mi (18:25 / mi) +30m 17:32 / mi
ahr:135 max:178 12c shoes: Roclites 295 2

Flag pickup of southern controls with Barbara.

Returned to find out....BNM and I were taking the stuff back. I don't recall when this was established. Everyone but BNM and me sounded pretty certain about it. Cramped my plans to get home at a sensible time to watch Terminator 2 with a buddy and dear daughter, so instead the movie ran a little late. Ye argh.

Doesn't include the distance for the final three I just ran out and grabbed so I could go home during March.

I shouldn't complain, Igor was there longer, just being delicate.

Useless trivia: My new-to-me bike rack, from brother's loot pile, will arrive having traveled through Warrendale, PA, which is just a few miles from Raccoon Creek State Park.

Further useless TMI trivia in comment.

Weights 30:00 [3]

5 mins elliptical

20x deep squats snap crackle pop

approximately 10x per side lunges with 2x10 lb dumbbells (I can't count)
10x kneeling overhead press, 30 lb dumbbells - that 6 lb per dumbbell difference is YUGE!
9x per side curls, 30 lb dumbbells (doing them slower made them harder)

You start to second-guess your communication/language skills when you are asked if you are born outside the US for yet another time.

(For the record, Burlington, Wisconsin.)

Weights 30:00 [3]
shoes: Barefoot

Daughter and I went to work in the basement.

5 mins elliptical

3 rounds of:
20x36lb dumbbell deadlift
20x pushups

She did some chest fly / military press type work, and asked a disconcerting amount of questions about reducing belly fat, of which she has none.

Today's weather is just in time! I got the studs off my winter bike.

My brother bought, for under $200, in one package:

Specialized Sirrus bike w/ Brooks Saddle
Cycle Ops Fluid trainer w/ riser block
Topeak rear rack

He is the deal master.
