Running warm up/down 5:48 * 0.4 mi (14:30 / mi) +3m 14:10 / mi
ahr:155 max:170 slept:6.0 shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
had a hard time sleeping last night, first because my legs were uncomfortable from scratches, then because it was too hot on the top bunk and I had worn a long-sleeve shirt, wrongly thinking it would be cooler than friday night, but was actually hotter. I think I had fallen asleep but woke up again at 12-something, eventually got out of bed to change shirts and take some aleve for the legs. on the bright side, I think I did a good job not stressing about being awake, and did end up with a barely acceptable amount of sleep.
5:45 wake-up for 8-ish start. still totally dark (with lots of stars!) on the way to breakfast. not much eaten, just a bagel, plenty of coffee, and then a GU during the warmup, took the bag lunch for breakfast#2. for warmup, a little bit of jogging around the sprint model.

This was not a particularly bad run, but it was by far my worst placing of the weekend. I had planned not to push too hard, considering I was on the relay a few hours later. I don't think that was much of a factor though, since the quick navigation was keeping me at a sub-maximal effort. I felt in control but not entirely smooth running through the controls. I caught almost up to Mike Smith around 5, and was chasing him through 10, when I somehow let him get away out of sight. I hesitated some on the hilltops in the middle of 11, apparently losing about 30s to him. some more hesitation and around 20 more seconds to 14, where I tried to follow the trails around instead of going straight. the rest of the course seemed fine, others were just faster.

Running warm up/down 12:15 0.5 mi (24:29 / mi) +3m 24:03 / mi
ahr:120 max:146 shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
lots of jogging in circles in the quarantine zone, occasionally wondering whether somebody else (like Giacomo, who had a great sprint) should be taking my spot. but I figured this would be more like something in between a forest sprint and middle, so I was ok for it. still, I was nervous, in some part because of the great job being done to build excitement for the relay.
Orienteering race (relay) 18:46 *** 3.41 km (5:30 / km) +116m 4:42 / km

2nd team, 2nd leg. Started with enough of a gap both ahead and behind to take some of the pressure off (though also some of the head-head excitement). It was like Joe B. yelled as I was on the run-out, "it's just you and the map!" The course was kind of like I expected, a shortened middle, at 1:4000. I was moving well, I think, and clean all the way around. Obviously I didn't know at the time, but there were two forks, I had the middle one and then the short one. I think I had the third fastest leg behind [unofficially] Ross and Will C, so I was happy about that. It was actually about the same gap to Ross as the sprint, but for some reason I feel much better about this one. A great way to end the weekend.
