Run warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: New VJ Spikes
A little warmup.
Orienteering race 1:40:12 [4] **** 12.0 km (8:21 / km) +240m 7:35 / km
shoes: New VJ Spikes
NAOC classic.
Another so-so race. Started out great. Passed Ted deSC on the way to 3. Unfornately, he caught me after I flubbed 7 a bit. Then, I decide to follow him to 8. I hardly looked at my map and, of course, the natural thing happens.
Run alone for a good while, flubbing a couple minutes here and there. Then Brian catches up. I decide to hang with Brian for the rest of th race as I had lost all confidence in my own orienteering ability. Whenever I got ahead I would hesitate or do something stupid and he would be quickly ahead. So, I gave up on doing anything, other than following along on the map. Pretty lame.

Run warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.8 mi (8:20 / mi)
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Basically to the start.
Orienteering race 38:34 [4] **** 4.5 km (8:34 / km) +100m 7:43 / km
NAOC middle.
Felt good and intense. And did a lot of good orienteering. Unfortunately, I lost about 8 minutes on 4 controls.
I can orienteer but why do I stop thinking sometimes?
At least I was moving fast enough today to be decent.

Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [2] ***
shoes: Spikeless VJs
warmup before sprint.
Orienteering race 17:23 [4] **** 3.2 km (5:26 / km) +20m 5:16 / km
shoes: Spikeless VJs
NAOC sprint.
Too slow really. Not sure why. No speedwork? Didn't do much of that before and was reasonably fast. Too old? Older, but not by much.
I did feel normal running, however -- which I hadn't since before the Stumble.
Got to lose these shoes.
