Note
Nice weather today, so I got the ankle out to Province Park for a few laps around the hill loop. Three one-mile jogs, separated by 1/3-mile walks. No problems, although the ankle was a bit achy when I was done.

Orienteering race 1:07:50 [4] *** 4.0 km (16:58 / km) +185m 13:46 / km
ahr:148 max:171 11c shoes: Montrail Hurricane Ridge
Miami Whitewater - M-Brown
Note
(injured)
Today I conceded to the injury and fatigue, and changed class down to M-Brown (which I did at last year's Pig, too, although for slightly different reasons).
I had a nice time on the course, although I struggled with a few more mental errors than the previous days. But, all things considered, I was satisfied with the weekend as I walked back to the car, and felt like a new guy when I changed clothes.
With the warmer weather, some different shoes, and visits to my Southwestway Park trail/hill loop between now and May, I hope to be better prepped for Michigan. I'm just going to keep trying to stay in M40, and see if I can get back to being able to tough out an 8km course in a reasonable time (no OT).
Cool thing of the weekend: The adhesive paper that they printed the Sportident splits on! I loved being able to peel that apart and stick it on the back of the map. Very nice.
Suck thing of the weekend: The continental breakfast at the HQ hotel. I've never really noticed the varying qualities of continental breakfasts before, but this one had NONE of the items that I usually go for. They had no fruit, no juices besides orange, no oatmeal, no peanut butter. Just lots of simple, starchy crap. They did have the belgian waffle maker, which I do like, but I like to top mine with fruit and nuts, so I was out of luck.
Plus, the space allocated for the breakfast tables and chairs was woefully inadequate. Well, the space wasn't an issue on the second morning, as most of the orienteers had gotten wise to the sorry state and had taken breakfast elsewhere. Smart move.
