 | Orienteering race 16:28 [3] | |
| |
| quick easy O section with Dan navigating...took it easy...no big hurry...after doing a few of these you realize that you dont get much advantage at all by going out in a frenzy.... |
| Mt Bike 31:08 [3] | |
| |
| pick up a couple CP's while biking on roads to Lake Ann kayak put in....I navigated and we caught lots of teams with a steady no stop approach....many teams stopped at intersections scratching their heads while we eased by... |
| Paddling 40:47 [3] | |
| |
| ...I navigated the Kayak portion and made a good decision to not take a portage....put us in 2nd behind WEDALI...the next CP required getting the color of a house...not sure how many teams actually got close enought to identify the house but we were beat off the lake by teams that did not come anywhere close to the CP and were solidly behind us by 100 meters before then... (not sure if they got the right house or color)... |
| Paddling race 12:56 [3] | |
| |
| putting kayak away in transition... |
| Orienteering 1:03:54 [3] ** | |
| |
| Dan navigated the USGS O portion of the race....trails were not marked on the map and we made 15 minutes of errors on a couple CP's...we relocated both times and prevented a major mistake....seemed to put us in the back in the top 25% of teams?? |
| Mt Bike 1:45:49 [3] | |
| |
| Mt bike with O trekking points for the last section of the Advenuture Race....no mistakes in my navigation but it was slow and halting which cost us time....my head wasnt in the map but knew we were going the right general direction...hit all O points without a bobble but the Team was also moving fairly slow on the deep sand....I think alot of newbie teams had some difficult moments on this section....it did not look that hard on the map but it was tougher in reality....more than one team was saying "now I know why they call in SAND Dunes..."
total time: 4:30:59 .....I think we finished in the top 3rd of the field or so..........fun racing with Dan and Rebecca....their cautious and limit mistake approach works with Kari and I.... |

| |
| Adventure Race Tune Up....Suicide Hotline...please hold meets Mandatory Gear....although we were officially a 2 person coed Kari and I teamed with Dan and Rebecca.....a good time was had by all.... |
| Note | |
| |
| ...and on further review I chose the tougher route from CP 18 to 19 on the bike....probably cost us 10 minutes.....I figure we had 25 minutes of mistakes in our 4:30 finishing time....we could have easily finished around 4:05 if we had made better choices but that is the beauty of O and AR..... |
Friday Apr 20 |
| trail running 37:45 [3] | |
| |

| Mt Bike 56:45 [3] | |
| |
| 2 loops of Wirth and the small loop also....19:10 and18:23 on lap times....the next goal will be to beat our record lap time of 17:14 and go sub 17.... |

| Swimming 35:42 [4] | |
| |
| 10x100's in 1:26 on 2:00.....(felt sluggish...one of the first times I did not get faster at this workout.....looks like my speed may be plateauing) 5x10 in :41 on 1:00.... |
Tuesday Apr 17 |
| Mt Bike 56:30 [3] | |
| |
| Wirth Mt bike trails open!...first single track of the season.....Kari and I did the first loop in 20:29 and did the 2nd lap in 19:05 (North loop)...I thought that was respectable for our first outing.....we will have to set a time goal to meet for this season....I like the idea of inviting all the O/AR people out for an informal Time Trial of the North loop with one person and pairs....might be fun to do that and then head back to the apartment for some beer and conversation... |

| Mt Bike 1:02:33 [3] | |
| |
| on the bike trails with Kari..heading around the back of Wirth to Regents Hospital and North up to Victory blvd and back...beautiful day...planned to ride easy but pushed just a bit...rumors have it that the mt bike trails at Wirth could open next week...that will be nice to add another option...still need to get on my tri bike to do some speed work...hopefully I will do that soon.... |
