Event: ROC - Overlook NRE
Orienteering 44:03 [3] *** 3.5 km (12:35 / km) +110m 10:53 / km
11c shoes: Brooks Running 26
Green at Harriet Hollister! Woo! Super fun! I'm not actually sure when the last time I did a standard orienteering race with controls was. I think I did a sprint down in Raleigh after my sister's wedding. And then before that? Just before the pandemic started?
Anyway, I had no real expectations for this and was mainly interested in having a fun weekend hanging out in the woods with friends, especially after yesterday's 13h workday and more generally a semester of 70h work weeks. In this vein, I spent too much time chatting and almost missed my start. Oops. This seemed like a positive, though because I just sort of ran through all the start lines, got my map, and set off for the first control, which I spiked. Then also the second control. Excellent.
The rest of the course was a bit sloppier - more careful contour work and less point and shoot compass work, but aside from 7 where I lost a minute and a half checking out some other lumps and bumps, no big blow ups. Anyway, awesome course and a great day to be out in the woods!

Running 33:00 [3] 3.6 mi (9:10 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Running 26
Running with Sam and Presto after lab! Woo! Made it out before it was completely dark! That's pretty much all that I recollect from this run. It seemed like my life would get significantly less busy once my grant was turned in (and to some extent that's true), but I am still quite busy. I am crossing my fingers that I will have some more time once grades are submitted!

Running with Margaret! Nice run in the middle of the day around the Botanic Gardens and the Park Park. Good to chat and get out during the daylight for a really nice temperature run!

Biking 1:45:00 [3] 17.3 mi (6:04 / mi) +460m 5:36 / mi
Biking up Mt. Pleasant! Another gorgeous spring day! Today was slightly warmer, and my right foot was feeling funny, so I decided to go for a bike ride instead of a run. I switched from walking to work to biking to work at the beginning of April, but that is apparently not enough to be back in biking shape because I definitely am not. My legs were tired, my butt was sore, and my wrists were exceedingly grumpy by the end of the ride. That said, the ride was delightful and a really great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I got to say hi to my various ruminant friends from last summer and saw a rabbit, so a good day all around. Fun, fun!
