Event: West Point A-Meet
Orienteering race 1:01:00 [3] **** 3.8 km (16:03 / km) +155m 13:20 / km
West Point Middle. Green Y. I have to say I wasn't too worried about this weekend until people started expressing how difficult this terrain is, and that I should be careful, and that was very slippery out there with lots of rocks...thanks! Now I was getting nervous. But it ended up okay. I felt fine going around the course; just took it super slow and careful down the rocky hillsides. My navigation was also pretty good, except for a boom at #2. I had run right by it, but thought I further to go, so ended up doing a big fat circle until I relocated on a control on a stone wall. Rats!
The worst part for my knee was after the run. It stiffened up pretty quickly and was quite swollen. A few icings, though, and an Aleve helped. It must not have been too bad because it certainly didn't keep me awake. I was camping on the parade field and ended up falling asleep at 8:30 pm. I woke up a few times in the night because of the thunderous rain, but basically slept through until 6:30. Ten hours of sleep! Unheard of.

Running 15:00 [3]
This was the run to the start...except for the steepest parts of the hill.
Walking 15:00 [1]
Walk back to the finish. A most unkind end to the day.

Strength Training 40:00 [1]
I had planned on orienteering at the Rosaryville meet today (new map!), but I woke up this morning with a very painful knee. I'm not sure what happened except that I didn't ice it yesterday right after my run, but I did ice it that evening. So, between a painful, swollen knee and yuckyish weather and several unfinished chores from yesterday, I decided to stay home. I spent the entire day moving furniture, dumping trash, hauling yard debris up the hill, and carrying heavy loads, so this definitely felt like strength training.
All of this moving was a result of the realization that Tanner is probably never moving back home, so it was time to pack up his room and move Graham in to it. It was definitely a sad time when I was looking at all of this "stuff" from his life. All of the different things he had been in to at one time or another...Legos, drawing cartoons, baseball cards, etc. But, life goes on, as they say.
I also had to pack for this coming week. I am leaving Tuesday for two work days in NYC, then two work days in Basking Ridge, NJ, and then camping at West Point. So, I have to pack for a gala dinner in the city, three days of business meetings and a weekend of orienteering and camping! I will have one jam packed car.
