Note
I must have landed on my arm a bit harder than I realized when I fell on Friday as my shoulder is stiff and sore. I was thinking of going to a class at the gym this morning but I think I better give it another day or two.

walk/jog 45:16 2.5 mi (18:06 / mi) +83m 16:25 / mi
ahr:119 max:161
Really didn't want to get out and do anything today. I finally convinced myself that if I went down to the drive and did some jogging for a mile that wouldn't be so bad, so that's what I did. Funny how that seemed like it would be easier than just hiking the meadow loop.
My lower calves are really, really tight. I haven't done the heel drops/raises for about two weeks what with traveling and all. Not sure if they're helping with anything else but they do give a good stretch so I will start doing those again.

Very slow meadow loop. The trail was surprisingly icy in several spots and I took one major spill before realizing it. Mud caked everywhere in my knee brace, sleeves, front of my jacket and so on. Looked like just mud so I was truckin' along, but there was some ice underneath and down I went. Was a little more careful after that and found lots more icy patches. Didn't think I would need my spikes - it's mid-fifties and sunny out!

Class at the gym. Was thinking this was going to be really hard but there was a sub and she did not really do a lot with legs so I survived reasonably well.

WG stuff
It was cold!! Looking for every chance to be in the sun. So different from last summer when I was looking for every chance to be in the shade.

orienteering 1:25:01 [3]
BrownX. Sloppy first two controls but then settled down. Felt like a real slog for the second half - just really tired. Tried to jog in a few places but it just wasn't happening. Another nice day in the woods.
Overall a pretty fun weekend. Nice woods and nice courses.

BrownX. Latish start; nice enough day as the predicted rain held off. Again, no real problems just sloppy in a few places and way off in one; corrected quickly but lost a good bit of time. Legs really tired making the downhills and ditch/gully/stream crossings hard.

Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2020
Note
Managed to lock the keys to the rental car in the trunk of the car with all the doors locked. As soon as I closed the trunk I knew what I had done but it was too late. And of course my phone and my wallet and everything else was in there too. Some very nice meet workers helped me call for assistance and AAA showed up a while later and got the front door unlocked where there was a trunk release lever and I found the keys exactly where I expected them to be. The AAA guy was really nice and took about 5 minutes to do his magic and it seemed he was happy for the call; perhaps he only gets paid when he does something. The meet workers were still cleaning up so I didn't hold anyone up but I felt bad for being such a numskull. It all worked out reasonably well but that sinking feeling when I realized what I'd done was not fun.
orienteering 52:36 [3]
Very late start on the brown course. Took me 4 hours to get there (major accident on the interstate) from where I was staying in Birmingham and with the hour time difference I was lucky I made it in time. Decent effort but was somewhat sloppy. Didn't read a gully at one point (looked liked an index contour) and so I got confused when I hit it thinking I had reached a second one and then confused myself as to whether I was going to to #5 or #6. Took a few minutes to sort out. Then towards the end just totally lost focus and ran out of steam. But it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed myself. Even jogged a few bits in the middle.

Class at the gym.
Had another one of those ocular migraine thingies. Why do I only get these when I go to the gym?? This time the black spot was small but I still had that very weird sensation of all my energy being sapped. I tried to ignore it but the first 15 minutes of class were a real struggle. Luckily it eased up after that and I was fine for the rest.

Class at the gym plus some of the walk home until I remembered to turn off my watch. Substitute today, which can be problematic, but she was really good. My arms will be sore tomorrow. And probably my abs as well.

QOC green course.
Interesting outing. #1 and #2 were fine and I was thinking what great woods. I went around on the road (did not want to wade across the creek) to #3 and then stayed high to #4 and it was all great woods. I wasn't particularly fast but I was moving right along. The woods to 5 started getting a little trashy right out of 4 with a lot of deadfall and then after crossing the road and trail the deadfall got a lot worse. But I eventually climbed over everything and made it to #5. I decided to go high to #6 - big mistake. Lots of deadfall. On my way to #7 I started thinking, if I had done Brown I'd be finishing about now. Should have realized that meant I wasn't paying enough attention. Went high again and went right by #7 - not by much but there was some deadfall between me and the control so I didn't see it - and took way too long to sort it out and go back. Luckily the mishung #8 control had been rehung correctly by the time I got to that one but I was pretty beat by then and so it was just a slog. Same to #9 and the finish. Really annoyed by the error at #7 and really, really annoyed I didn't know what to do right away.
It was still good to get out and orienteer.
The best part though was dinner with Valerie and Roger the night before and several sessions of peppering.
