Orienteering 1:09:00 [4] 10.0 km (6:54 / km) +160m 6:23 / km
A mass start event at Ansonia. Gorgeous woods, fun format, excellent organization. Wasn't planning on racing but couldn't hold myself once we headed into the woods. Kept catching or was getting caught by Ross and Jordan for the most of the first half. Then Jordan got himself lost and I haven't seen Ross for a while until we came back up the hill towards the end and had a few common bags. On the way to the last control, a bush took my e-punch off my finger, so I spent a minute or so looking for it on the ground. Luckily I found it.
This definitely was a race effort for me, navigationally a bit sloppy, but not terribly so. I expected to feel a lot worse physically, but was happy with my effort. Thanks Boris, Maire, Becky, and others who put this awesome event on.

Orienteering 1:20:00 [3]
Running parts of green course and picking bags at Tenafly. Woods were considerably greener than I remember them from a while back, tore up my tights pretty bad. Pretty cold out, 33F, want normal temps already.

Running 1:00:00 [3] 11.0 km (5:27 / km)
Testing the hills at Lewis Morris. Nice weather, trails pretty dry too. Felt pretty good. Didn't push hard and tried to pace myself evenly. New cushion sneakers worked really well in rocky parts, and my feet mostly didn't bother me. Passed scores of novice bikers on the uphills, who later zoomed by me on the downhills.

Orienteering 48:09 [4] 8.6 km (5:36 / km) +80m 5:21 / km
DVOA - Colliers Mills - Red. Still my most favored place to O in NE. As Greg said "This place makes you feel good about yourself". After being down and out for almost two months prior to the past Sunday with various injuries/ailments it was nice to finally get out of the house and move my legs in the woods. Warm weather was a big plus and it was surprisingly dry after the washout just a few days before. Everything felt rusty, and my technique was far from perfect, but I managed to keep my focus till the very end. Hoping that things will start going uphill for me from here, though I will be taking it easy for a while.
