Pilates class 55:00 [1]
At the Y. A few new students today, so instructor limited exercises to body weight which seemed plenty tough to me (e.g., side leg lifts [outer-thigh/hip] one-legged bridge, push-ups, as well as the more typical roll-ups and pilates 100).
Running (treadmill) 32:22 3.0 mi (10:47 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
Warm up, 0.5 mi at 5.3 mph, then 2.5 mi at 5.6 or 5.7.
Walked to cool down, 8 min (1/2 mi).

Exerc. Class 55:00 [1]
In Chatham. More movement than Monday so a good session.
Note
Glen had the day off and I had an afternoon appt. in Albany, so we went out to dinner afterwards. We went to a favorite local Italian place and had items off the Specials menu -- nice (I had butternut squash/cheese/spinach stuffed fresh manicotti w/bechamel sauce). Our favorite thing about this restaurant, though, is the still-warm freshly baked bread they bring after you order -- heaven!

Stroll in Chatham...

Exerc. Class 55:00 [1]
In Chatham. Good to move around. Stepping felt harder (more tiring) than usual, but was only 5 minutes at a time so tolerable. Good stretching.
Walking 1:00:19 [2] 3.55 mi (16:59 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #4-Y
Perfect weather for a walk, sunny and upper 60s. Didn't push the pace because I'm still tired from yesterday's extreme climbing. :-)
Decided to check out where a ranch house used to be south of us; it was gone last week, with just a foundation there.
A new house is now on the foundation. I suspect they are/were both manufactured/modular homes. Not sure what the problem was with the old one, but the new one is now in place. Workers are probably connecting/reconnecting plumbing and electricity.

Event: WCOC Pond Mountain
Orienteering race 1:47:56 [3] **** 6.5 km (16:36 / km) +320m 13:20 / km
spiked:17/17c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
[Note: edited total time. We had to copy maps on the clock and I deducted the 7:22 I spent doing that (17 controls on a very detailed map!).]
WCOC local meet at Pond Mountain, Kent, CT; courses set by Peter Grollman. The advertised choice was "green, 4.3 km, 210m climb" or "red, 6.8 km, 290 km climb." I wasn't sure I was up for almost 7km, so I chose green, which turned out to be a wise choice! (I counted 320 m on the green course on the route I took, which added 35 more than necessary; Glen counted over 400 on the red.)
It turned out Peter mis-measured the courses (using OCAD) so they were 50% longer than advertised. And no water on the courses, which was probably an issue for a few folks who didn't carry their own as it turned out to be quite a nice warm day (low 60's and sunny).
As for me, I found them all where I expected to find them. Yay, a clean race! Of course, I was going SLOW because of all the rocky ground and climb (in places) -- I just couldn't run in most places. The climbs to 10 and 12 were brutal, but good HTFU training. Red shared many of the same legs, so I saw people out there occasionally, most notably the group of 3 guys who passed me on the climb up to green 10.
My FR lost signal between 9 and 12 so I have a straight line there (not very useful), so I'll just post the map. Maybe I'll add my course to it later for my own info.
