Running 2:10:00 23.17 km (5:37 / km) +693m 4:53 / km
ahr:140 max:157
Stuck to the trails for this. I felt surprisingly strong. Maybe switching to a ten-day training cycle would be better to allow for recovery between long runs?

Cycling 1:31:25 38.58 km (25.3 kph) +80m
ahr:130 max:143
I normally don't like driving to cycle somewhere. But Steve wanted to go for an easy ride with me. So I figured the Lehigh Gorge would be a good spot for it.
It had rained before and cleared out most of the other trail users, which was good because we were moving pretty fast for this trail and probably would have bothered pedestrians.

Super fun orienteering at Richard Lake with Kseniya and Co. Lots of snakes!

Made a video. It's processing. It'll be available in a day or two.
In this video I tried to say my entire mental process out loud. There were times when I was breathing too hard or forgot to speak loudly/clearly. But it's pretty good for the most part.
Also the blueberry is much rougher than it looks in the video. But it's still fun ; )

I didn't really feel the oomph to go skiking or biking. But I did want to do exercise. So I figured a 30 minute sunset run around the lake would be cool. Sooooooo beautiful.
I also went out to the rocks today to try mapping them a bit. I used OOM on my phone. Initially it was overwhelming and I wasn't sure how anyone could keep track of where they were and what they were mapping.
Once I turned the GPS on in the app it went really fast. It was even fun to map it. I'm surprised at how accurate I was able to get the rocks from home. I was even able to accurately draw a few 1m gaps between the rocks from home. Once I got there most of the work was taking out rocks that didn't exist, which were mostly depressions between other rocks, and joining rocks together when the gaps just didn't seem passable. Perhaps passable by an extremely motivated skinny person.

30min tempo around the lake. The legs still felt heavy and slow from the weekend. Also the hills are rough.
Also, I've got a tendon behind my left knee that keeps twinging. It's felt like that on and off for years, but it never seemed to be a problem. I bet it's associated with the problems in my left Achilles.

Note
I was thinking of heading over to Hickory Run to do some compass testing today. But with the current state of panic over gas shortages, I'm going to avoid driving until this thing is resolved.

It's always fun to climb out of spring and then drop back down into it.

Note
It looks like for the second time in my life I will have tried and failed to qualify for the world orienteering champs.
Am I angry I won't get to go? A bit, less so given the current situation with international travel.
Am I frustrated with myself? Absolutely, because I know I can perform at a much higher level. I have done it many times before and know I can again.
But I am not upset with the "sacrifices" I've made because they weren't sacrifices. I love pushing my body and mind in training in competition. I love being able to train 10-15hrs a week.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
So as it goes in life, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. But I am not done.

Nay Aug Sprints with Ben.
It would be fun to do a sprint relay here. Where are the juniors when you need them?
