(rest day)
Hey, what's this feeling in my legs? Oh wait, now I remember what it's like to have a decent workout again. Ha.
It's been a while since I've had a higher-than-1500cal burned workout.

Event: Lacamas Park
Note
I was feeling sad and depressed this morning after what happened in Orlando last night, which wasn't helped by NPR being all about what happened (though their reporting, I thought, was quite good). But then I got a beautiful view of Mt. Hood on the way to the meet, the weather was perfect, and even though I did badly, the course designer put one control in the shade at the base of a waterfall. And there were a couple other controls perfectly situated to give great views of the woods. And I got to run through excellent specimens of poison oak and blackberry brambles. Err...
I'm taking today as a learning experience. If I end up in the top half of the results I'll be amazed. I know one guy was at least half an hour faster than me, I think I saw him going into control 5 - he caught up to me after my wander going to control 2. I need to get better at judging distances and calibrating my brain to different map scales. I've been working on pace counting but I still need work.

Orienteering 1:57:53 ***** 7.23 km (16:18 / km) +272m 13:44 / km

In the history of massive wanders on an orienteering course, this will go down as one of the best...I had a 24 minute wander on one control and got massively lost, and went 15 minutes on two other controls. It's definitely the hardest course I've done. I felt like I got back into a groove halfway through, but I must have lost at least 40 minutes being lost. Gotta happen some time right...
They said this was one of the hardest courses technically that they do, at least it will give me more practice for Laramie.

Cycling 1:04:20 16.35 km (3:56 / km) +207m 3:42 / km

Why is cycling so much harder than I remember it? Oh wait yeah not riding much in a couple years. For some reason it feels harder than running these days. I attacked a couple steep hills too which didn't help. My heart rate isn't responding like I would expect it to - it seems way lower while riding than I would expect, but I think part of that is not doing steady efforts.

Orienteering 27:53 *** 3.84 km (7:16 / km) +82m 6:34 / km

Sellwood Park training - first time around I did just the odd numbered controls. Only whiffed it at one control, but technically I felt solid. Surveying flags for control markers.
Orienteering 21:11 ** 2.67 km (7:55 / km) +61m 7:07 / km
ahr:162 max:191 9c shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 300
Second time around, this time on the even numbered controls. The course was a good bit shorter this way, but it still gets from one end of the park to the other. I'm glad I did two loops of the course with how quickly it went!

Date night with Terra, did part of the permanent course around Tabor. I only got hit in the face with blackberry brambles once. Terra had lots of fun.

I convinced Terra that an excellent date night idea would be to run the permanent course around Mount Tabor. Ha!

Still pretty tired out from the last couple weeks. And I had a mandatory stop to pet neighborhood cats.
