Event: Hudson Highlander
Orienteering long 5:10:32 [3] 21.0 mi (14:47 / mi)
AH, the Hudson Highlander. I had fun the whole way through.
The rain at the beginning made it a bad morning, and morale was low. After getting the first two points in, I felt warmed up and ready to go.
Got stung by a bee going to point 3... Ouch.
Well, I followed to quite a few points, shamefully... oh, I mean, people happened to have the exact same route choices as me. However, at point 13 is pretty much when I broke off from the pack I was in, and narrowed it down to just USMA guys (I've made at least 30 typos so far from how tired this race has made me). Trail run was a nice run, but I didn't recover much because I was trying to keep up with Nick. Last map was nice because it was the last, but boy did those long legs cause quite a tease. Made I pretty big mistake going to point 26.. Instead of cutting though (which I just assumed wasn't going to be possible) I went to a trail that didnt exist, so I freaked out and went that way some more, turned back and went A LONG way around. lost about 15 minutes on that control. Otherwise, my body was poopin out on me near the end, and i just wanted to walk, but I was too close to really not to.
Over all the course gave me that great feeling of satisfaction, I guess thats really the only reason I do this one. Fun times.
2 down, ? to go.

Weight Lifting 30:00 [3]
After i discovered that I failed BOTH SAMI AND IN RANKS INSPECTION I was very very angry, so I went to lift and do pushups and situps to relieve the stress... (I definitely shouldn't have failed, but my PL doesnt like me for some reason)

Running 34:45 [3]
Easy recovery trail run. Didn't want to over do it b/c of the highlander coming on up.

Weight Lifting 20:00 [3]
Dunno what to call it really. While everyone was running the course I made, I did some more plyro's on the rocks and stuff (I thought it was clever) and did some intense 1 legged hops down the road. Afterwards I found an awesome 25 lb rock and did some single joint exercises with it. Bicep curl, tricep extensions, etc. pretty clever too. Ohyeha, I also did about 110 pushups before all that. Good times.
