Note
SMOC is now America's most likable orienteering club!

Event: SMOC Corn Maze O
12 PM
Running 7:41 0.74 mi (10:23 / mi) +12m 9:53 / mi
ahr:147 max:159
warming up, because corn mazes are serious business. As much as Coop wants the night owl, I want a corn maze win.
Orienteering 40:19 3.59 mi (11:14 / mi) +6m 11:10 / mi
ahr:169 max:222 15c
I had a good, mostly clean run. A few inevitable bobbles, and perhaps one or two less efficient routes.
If you want to win and are at my level, I think you'd be best off to measure and mentally mark off a set of halfway points, so you know whether to go cw or ccw on the tricky legs.
Got pretty winded at 2.5 miles, took a leisurely break to pass a family and catch my breath. Otherwise okay.
Super fun event, and great weather

Orienteering 13:39 1.49 mi (9:10 / mi) +6m 9:03 / mi
ahr:165 max:178
Corn maze sprint! I tried to drop the hammer, but didn't have the top end on the straights. Two minor mistakes, and a couple less efficient routes, on the whole okay I think.
6 PM
Walking 53:20 3.29 mi (16:14 / mi) +2m 16:12 / mi
ahr:108 max:158
Wife hoped for another Turtle prep jog, so we took the dogs around the block and then 1600 m easy, 400 rest, 800 easy, 400 rest. I will ice later as a precaution.

Walking 1:29:30 3.6 mi (24:52 / mi) +173m 21:37 / mi
ahr:92 max:138
Escape went from "occasionally stalling" to "stalling with great frequency". Barbara was super patient, and kindly cheered on the illegal spark plug replacement I did behind Autozone. That didn't quite fix it, but it sort of limped back to Novi better, then we went back up to White Lake in BNM's Subie and fixed up White (and the red start), both of which are complicated by trails disappearing after the stables emptied. Otherwise the stable start looks nice. There are a lot of outlets, although I didn't have a way to check for power. Pit toilets are decent enough by metro D rec area standards, parking loops ample. HR seemed more in check, although we didn't do anything too cray cray and climbs were modest on the white route. We didn't quite get to two new red spots after the stable-driven reroute, but I think BNM can cover them Tuesday and they are both more or less white and should not be too different than when the map was last updated.
1 PM
Orienteering 2:43:06 [3] 3.4 mi (47:58 / mi) +312m 37:20 / mi
I think the zoo could work for sprint.

Biking 2:01:19 19.94 mi (9.9 mph) +415m
ahr:173 max:224 shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
from my house to Maybury and back. I should do this more often - bit of fitness, decent bit of bike handling (it's very twisty), not terribly unsafe roads.

Walking 1:06:59 4.02 mi (16:41 / mi) +2m 16:39 / mi
ahr:120 max:200 shoes: Brooks Ghost Blue
Hard to feel bad about missing yesterday - out the door by 7:30, not home, other than to exchange chairs, until 8:30.
Please tell me 180 bpm to hobby jog at 12:00/mile will go away in time.

Biking 1:07:39 15.86 mi (14.1 mph) +12m
ahr:122 max:140 slept:8.0 weight:216lbs shoes: Long Haul Trucker
Leisurely, as I see the need for some ground up aerobic rebuiliding.
One day I will get ready efficiently or, better yet, the night before.
I did have one person gesture at me. Not a middle finger...not a sarcastic thumbs up, but a thumb-on-nose-finger-wiggle...
...It was a friend at work (occasionally referred to as "Wheel Guy", he does wheels and jacks and used to cycle a lot until he got buzzed by a truck mirror)

Leisurely back home.
So my problem seems to be:
I can simmer as much as I want. This is a light, crappy, slow simmer, but enough to not be embarrassed if I don't go to a champs.
If I try to get any kind of boil, even light, hr spikes up, power collapses.
Hoping general fitness clears it up. Old teammate Jeff had similar, except I do recover a bit, whereas he popped up and stayed up. He fixed it with long slow distance.
In reviewing Peach Mountain, most errors were preceded by egregious hr spikes - perhaps they are wrecking my brain. Second lap, only one spike, and nearly spot on. Not a coincidence, and I think not a coincidence just because I was generally slow - it was easy mode.
