Dnf

9 AM

orienteering race 59:17 [3] *** 3.4 km (17:26 / km)
8c shoes: Icebug Ardor OLX

DQ - day 2 - worse mistake - parallel error from 5-6.
First 4 legs were fine and in control. #5 I overshot, lost time, but managed to recover (took 10:41 for a 500m leg - beeline). So put off by the mess up running around for 6, I gave up and headed back. Got to the road near #5 and tried to find the trail system that could have led to #6, but had a bad start point and went into a green area and never found the trail. So headed back to finish and picked up 9, 10 and 11. Humbling.

Day 1 I was willing to put the bad leg aside and run the rest of the course for training. Day 2, was too depressed at the 2nd mess up. And I wanted to get back to the motel and not be too late to shower and check out.

14c shoes: Icebug Ardor OLX

3.1km Brown course: M65+ - Flying Pig - Miami Whitewater, Day 1.
Big error from 3 to 4 (14:57 compared to others doing it in 6 min). Lucky going to the first 3 controls and sensed I wasn't sharp reading the details. 3 to 4, saw Mike Shifman going over the 1st trail we would cross and then forgot I had a 2nd one to cross & turn to the control. Just running around and hoping - basic bad boom! Rest of legs were OK.

SPL exercise bike - after spin classes this winter, learned to up the resistance on the bike to get a variety of effort and help break the monotony. Hadn't run or biked much the passed few days so wanted some sort of aerobic exercises before the 3 days of races this weekend.
