Event: Canceled: NEOC: High Rock
 

so, i was feeling like my orienteering was improving until i lost the plot at boojum. i was picking through my results that're listed on the log-overview page, and a nerd-must-graph-numbers moment. date on the bottom, ap rank on the left. lo:


nothing too interesting. figured it'd be more entertaining to graph someone with more races under their belt, so here be ian:


and along those lines, the ken:



and for chuckles, all three on one


by my math, i ought to be whuppin' them both in 20 years.

Event: NEOC: Nobscot Night-O
 

my brother's iphone game got mentioned in sports illustrated!

...
as a sign of the apocalypse

any press is good press, though, right?

finally out from under things at work. took advantage of being well rested and went long. goal was 7 miles. well, the actual goal was whatever ended at fromaggio's saturday bbq). felt good towards the end and added an eighth. avg hr is way higher than i expected/felt

pretty sure i might've run 8 miles once or twice in high school, but this was certainly the only time since then.

satisfyingly dense trail network near the south end of whatever park that is on the east bank of the chaz. just sayin'.

to work and halfway back. flatted the front on a nasty groove near havard yahd. took the bike for a walk the rest of the way. i hate walking in cleats. skritch. skritch. skrtich, etc.

coping with eyeballing the business end of a second stupidly late night in the shop:
adventure race sleep deprivation training!

in that vein, i'm loving reading about the AR World Champs, thanks to the kickass reporting of Bash et al.

only time for one lap with a little embellishment

one of two good things about boojum - it was cool (and novel) to still have legs under me 8k and hour-plus into the affair.

the second was having a 20 second lead coming out of CP3 (promptly squandered) combined with getting the finish split. just need to figure out the middle 15 controls.
