Event: 33rd West Point A Meet

Walking warm up/down 12 [1] 1.6 km (7 / km) +200m 5 / km

Up to start

Orienteering (Green middle) 40:00 [3] 4.0 km (10:00 / km)

Gave up at #9. No energy, brain not engaged, residual JL and early drive down all conspired to create problems from the get go. Got bogged in swamp on way to #1, lost time relocating. Problems on 6, 7 and 8 and by 9 I wasn't feeling it for the course. Walked in and enjoyed afternoon/ social engagements :-)

Orienteering race (WP sprint) 16:21 [3] *** 2.05 km (7:59 / km) +65m 6:53 / km
spiked:13/15c

My favorite discipline and sadly not much better than am. Legs not responsive and tried to push. About 2:15 of errors most on #4- saw the flag and went to punch saw code 138 and said no I'm looking for 144!! Went to 5 before realizing error -almost 2 mins right there. Afraid of being caught by tp 2 mins behind, tried to up pace and made 20 sec error on 8 lured to another control. Oh well......tomorrow is another day.

Event: CSU Park-O 3: Boston Common

Walking 21:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:30 / km)

Fresh but damp.

Jogging (trail) 24:19 [3] 5.0 km (4:52 / km) +40m 4:41 / km

Too much to do, brain dead and couldn't face drive into Boston for park O so went for a run in GBF instead. Kept stride short and cadence high, but will need to do some strides tomorrow.

Note
(rest day)

Travel day.
Came across some interesting history (not hard to do in the UK) related to WWII and the art / science of photo reconnaisance - earliest days of stereoscopic aerial photos, rendered into target maps (BW with magenta so could be read by night-time bomber crews wearing orange tinted goggles.) Anyhow, stayed at a "stately home" hotel that was RAF Medmenham where the photos were interpreted before being sent to Hughenden house (summer home of Disreali) for mapping. Not dissimilar to Bletchley Park, another mansion requisitioned for the war effort. As an aside, an aura of siege and stoicism still pervades Britain today. Glad we didn't have to wait hours to gain entry at Border control.
On another note will be heading to the Mini apple later this month- new job and relocation- another journey!

C • Mini apple? 3

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.5 km (10:48 / km)

Home again! Greeted by an absence of rain. Quick outing for fresh air.
