Orienteering race 49:32 4.75 km (10:26 / km) +86m 9:34 / km

Brown race at Pelican Bay. Best day physically by far, although certainly not able to run with the big dogs. Glen went by me very quickly on the way to #3, and out of sight almost immediately. A little bobble at 4, maybe 39 seconds, and then disaster struck at 5. Back and forth along the spur and not finding it, until suddenly I did. Bag a little faded? I dunno. Then low energy going to 6, bounced back the rest of the way and did ok the last several legs. So lost about 10 minutes at 5, otherwise just fine.

Middle distance at Granite Planite map. First half was awesome, following compass, good straight routes. Then a bunch of trouble. Somehow thought it would be a good idea to go right around the big rocks. Left would have been straighter and better and when I got around I couldn’t relocate and spent 8 minutes wandering. Then left 9 in the wrong direction, so a bit of a roundabout route, and misread the clue sheet (6 meter boulder) as .6 meter boulder, so a bit slow to approach the control. Then 11 was just horrible. I had been there once, as it was also number 4, but crossed just below it and then spent 10 minutes searching along the hillside. 12,13,14 were fine, but then I was pretty dead. Went by 15 and lost another couple of minutes, staggered in, pretty spent.

One cowboy relay at Rattlesnake Hill, or at least some of it. Woke up this morning with the knot in the left glute almost gone, so much jollier. This was a motala with four loops on one side of the road and a fifth longer one on the other side. I got pretty tired on loop 4, though, and number 5 wasn’t going to happen. Generally not too bad. The loops were pretty repetitive, and a good intro for the races to come. Just had to go home, shower and lay down for a while.

Very difficult back day. I have had some pretty debilitating right side spasms since Saturday, but today I had it on the left, which is always worse. A lot of rolling, stretching, hot tub, vitamin I and by late afternoon well enough to take the dog swimming. Throwing sticks was not as jolly, however. Better tomorrow?

Gym 40:00 [3]
Part of Rhonda's morning class. First time she has gone in quite a while, and certainly my first time in quite a while. Trying to nurse my sore back.

ahr:79 max:104
Had to pick up the kayaks anyway today, because we are busy tomorrow and Stanclift will be closed by the time we get back from Wyoming.
PG had observed quite reasonably that the mergansers I had been seeing were most likely common mergansers and not the red-breasted ones I remembered from my years on the Vineyard. I brought the binoculars along to verify, but alas the mergansers were nowhere to be seen. Maybe too warm out today? Maybe just exploring someplace else.

With R&S. We did a bit of investigating in the area past the logging barrier. They took a lot of trees, but it looks beautiful. The trees are still stacked up, waiting to be carried away. Pretty giant piles.

This was a bit difficult, as it is not a good back day. Now I’m just trying to calm it down before we head to WY.
Saw the merganser family again, but only 9 of them this time. I suppose something is picking them off? There were 19 last Sunday, 14 a few days ago. Also, the water is down about 2 feet in the last week, so a lot of stuff exposed, and some places that are now too shallow for the kayaks.
