Orienteering race 56:47 [4] *** 5.27 km (10:46 / km) +190m 9:08 / km
spiked:13/17c shoes: Falcon spikes 2007
Red Course at Beaver Brook. Felt good in the woods, was pushing the pace pretty much the whole way.
Was very lucky a few times, could easily have had to bail out and lost a lot of time in a few areas.
FRWD GPS distance was 6.165 km with about 190 m climb.

Orienteering 1:03:00 [2] *** 2.57 km (24:29 / km) +45m 22:31 / km
7c shoes: Falcon spikes 2007
White course with sister Elaine, and Allison and Ethan (kids of my baby sister Carolyn) who came with Elaine. Had an absolutely wonderful time. Ethan can keep up a running commentary and Allie was great too. She can be prickly in a 8-year-old-girl-way occasionally.
Distance is from arm-mounted GPS unit. Don't remember advertised distance.

Rowing 6:00 [2]
Hadn't tried this before, but had a bit left after the elliptical machine (well with only 20 minutes on it, I'd hope so!), and there was a rowing machine I'd been looking at the whole time, and there was no one else around so if I made a fool of myself, I'd be the only one to know, so I tried it.
Not too bad, if I focused on keeping my back straight (as the screen in front of me reminded me twice each minute) it felt OK, not too much effort on my legs, but adding in some arm work, which has been sorely lacking, given that ski season is coming up.
Really need to make one of those XC poling sliders in the basement to work on poling strength and endurance....

Run hills (trails) 26:00 [4] 3.0 km (8:40 / km)
shoes: Gray Nike XCR
Up and over Cobble Mtn - 9:00 to the top from the car, +123m in 910 m. Should have warmed up a bit more.
Dropped of the tree clippers at the W end of the new trail.
From the multi-intersection, back up the right diagonal (another good hill +31m in 355 m) and approached the W end of the new section from above.

Upper Body (trail maintenance) 30:00 [1]
Cutting brush out of the new high section of trail - GNA has flagged it, but it hasn't been logged, etc. Assuming they are deferring it until next year.
Thought if I could clear it out a bit, suitable for snowshoeing, that it might be a possible route choice if I put a control up higher this winter.
