Walk/Jog warm up/down (to start) 12:00 [2] 1.0 km (12:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Around field and through the woods to start, much closer to the arena/parking today.
Orienteering race (Course 5) 40:20 [5] *** 3.62 km (11:08 / km) +22m 10:48 / km
spiked:7/7c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
NOTE: Track includes some extra 10 minutes after I finished, hanging out around the arena. I've adjusted the total time and distance.
SL 2.9, 65m climb ... Really? I figured the woods would be atrocious if they expected a 45-50 minute winning time on a 2.9 km course. But they weren't bad, and there were a lot of trail running routes to take, and Natalia won F55 in under 35 minutes. Course setting fail; guess they were too focused on the elite courses. I was prepared for about a 60 minute run, so it could probably have been closer to 4.2 km or so.
Missed a turn on the way from 1-2 and stood puzzled for a bit on top of a bare rock hill with a cliff on the side (and a flag), but quickly figured out where I needed to go, through the lovely white woods. On the long leg I went back out toward the marshy stream crossing and found trails near the leg line that took me very close to 5.
I caught Nancy (who had started 2 minutes ahead) at #2 and couldn't shake her the rest of the way (and there weren't really any distinct routes choice options that might have separated us), so she kept me running as much as I could. Thanks, Nancy! ;-)
6th F55 of 30+

Walking warm up/down (to start) 25:00 [1] 2.0 km (12:30 / km)
shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
With Judy K. (Time is an estimate.) Picked up a warmup map and checked out a few of the controls near the start.
12 PM
Orienteering race (NAOC middle) 36:47 [4] **** 2.95 km (12:27 / km)
spiked:11/11c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
SL 2.3 km, 35m climb on Carp Ridge North map
Except for the fact that I could've taken a better route from 2-3, I was very happy with this run. Saw Sandy here and there from 2-6 and got past her when I left the trail just a bit sooner to 6 and spiked the control. Lots of fast runners in our class; I was happy to be in the top 10 which was my goal for the weekend (I managed 9th today).
Took a slightly longer but ultimately safer route, I think, to 9, taking the big trail past the marshy area and attacking from between the spur and the dot knoll...came back out the same way to head to 10.
Now why couldn't I have put it all together like this last weekend at the US Champs?

Orienteering 37:15 [2] **** 2.28 km (16:19 / km) +12m 15:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-A 2013-08
Model map at Carp Ecowellness Centre. 48F and partly sunny.
Dry in the woods and hard to see the contours under the leaves (2.5m...really hard to see the form line wiggles on this map!). Also visited a couple of locations that gave me trouble during the April training weekend here.
Much care will be needed the next two days.

Walking 1:00:00 [0]
shoes: Sauc.Shad.6000#7-2012H
Traveled through the Adirondacks on the way to the Norh Americans, staying over in NY before crossing the border this morning.
We stopped at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake on a cold, raw, damp day (mid 40s, no rain while we were there but rain had passed through). Probably walked around more than logged but since it's intensity 0 it doesn't really count anyway.
I'd been here once before when they exhibited over 100 quilts from their collection, but Glen hadn't. Nice exhibits. They had a sample 1%er's rail car that we could walk through, similar to the kind the rich traveled in from the City to the mountains over a hundred years ago.
Impressed/disturbed by the coat and gun racks made from deer *hooves*.

Exerc. Class 55:00 [1]
slept:7.5
Legs felt better than Monday; right upper arm getting better but triceps fatigued early. Should be back to normal by the weekend. :-)
2 PM
Walk/Jog 46:11 [3] 3.02 mi (15:17 / mi) +97m 13:54 / mi
shoes: Sauc.Shad.6000#7-2012H
This is the walk I didn't do yesterday (legs still tired) with some jogging bits thrown in.

Pilates class 55:00 [2]
slept:6.5
Ouch. Right upper arm still sore from a fall on Saturday and today's upper body/plank/push-up workouts didn't help the situation much. Makes you stronger though, right?
Only adductors (70#) and extra stretching after. A walk later, perhaps?

Exerc. Class 50:00 [1]
slept:8.0
Good shake-out class and hip stretches were really needed.
Note
I had a nice chat and drink (Brown's new batch of Pumkin Ale) with a few of the redheads at this event last Wednesday.
I'm not sociable enough to talk to everyone, but did chat with a few ladies (including the tall one with the yellow/gold scarf, Molly). Fun times. (I did leave after the toast and photos, to have dinner elsewhere.) Gingers rule!
