Biking (Trainer) 42:00 [3] 9.78 mi (14.0 mph)
shoes: Long Haul Trucker

The weekly FTP updater (4*2 w/ 4 mins easy in between) on the default plan, now a scorching 141 W. It had fallen to 121 W last week when I didn't understand how to run it (casually aimed for target instead of trying to hit at the hardest sustainable pace for the up part).

Cadence a sluggish 60 rpm.

Fun 28 c extreme o. Was really clean...except when I tried to cut the corner on the satellite and what I thought was an east west trail was an old power line that we blazed through without noticing. Unknowingly missed the corner and went off map, recovered by panicking and relocating off the private property but has to be approaching 15 min wasted. Weeping emoji. Clean again after, tried to shake it off and move.

Moved the same Mal three times despite starting first! Speedy cadets!!

Orienteering 42:55 intensity: (10:41 @0) + (21:07 @1) + (2:58 @2) + (4:43 @3) + (3:26 @4) 2.03 mi (21:08 / mi)

Pickup first five long extreme o c along the Chattahoochee much slower than in competition. Apparently there was an assistive rope at 4 we didn’t notice during battle.

ahr:185 max:215 18c

Ran too fast too #1, eyes watered, I thought I could wing it, missed my turn.

Then missed #3 left, hit trail unsure of where on trail, but guessed correctly and caught it out of the corner of my eye.

Otherwise slow by enjoyable the rest of the way. Caught Steve at 10, thought he had a minute or two earlier start, so I could sit with him, but was able to break away by 12 although he had me worried. Tried to haul through the rest but did not have the fitness, and got lucky on 14 (was too far west but spotted it, I suck at bearings) then slipped en route to #18 and my attempted super heave back up took too much out and I overrevved but hopefully finish 18-F okay.

Flag pickup. I learned that the blue dot stream was, in some places, crotch deep. Refreshing!

Model course. Black rock wasn't bad, but gray rock...ooof. Still don't know how to read the area near #7, so decided to be cautious for any of those. Really want to count the +5 extra flags we found!!

Orienteering 1:40:23 intensity: (21:10 @1) + (45:53 @2) + (23:33 @3) + (6:45 @4) + (3:02 @5) 5.53 mi (18:09 / mi) +290m 15:36 / mi

Yeeeargh

Okay 1-5, just not fast (and one parallel error exiting #3, but not a big deal since it still got me to the right trail), then I lost my beloved nitrogaine hat en route to #6, which was demoralizing, tried to peek for it en route to #7.

Then stuffed up #7. The bulk of my error was using the blue line as a creek, when it would later turn out to be a north line, so I ended up far down a slope and was not letting all of the extra reentrants convince me of my whereabouts, finally decided to bail to power line, figured it out, went to 7 via 8, then was okay for awhile.

Tweaked my route to #12 to look for the hat a little, but at least it wasn't raining so I could still see. Then, then it started raining hard, and I couldn't see, so I pocketed my glasses. I'd been through #12 to #6, so I found that fine, but the vague approach to #13 was more than my nearsighted self could manage. I missed the right, dunno when I crossed it, and wandered about before finally decided I must be south of the ride, went north and found it.

Yeeargh!

Good news, some kind soul picked up my hat and carried it in. Reunited and it feels so good

Went perfectly, except #6, where I could not convince myself to go far enough north. I kept seeing a marsh, but it was not the marsh but the gully closer than the marsh. Taken off fifteen minutes and I’m in the mix on m40 crying emoji
