SLOC relays, leg 2 (green) of unofficial 4 pt team. I was removed from our official team, partly because I was sick, mostly because Dan was on the the team in the past, he's a much better orienteer, and he's now worth 2 points :) Time and HR zones are a guess, since my strap didn't work, once again, and I accidentally stopped my watch during the race.
Clean run, but a bit slow in places. It was so vague, and my goal was "no mistakes", so sometimes the best option was to jog towards the control, then slow to a walk and keep your eyes open for the flag. Made a mistake at 7 (got off my compass line; need to work on this) but I corrected quickly. Felt pretty good physically, although I could tell it was day three and I didn't have a lot of push left in my legs.
Fun area, great spectating, glad to be on a team with Pete, Fritz and Dave. Lots of fun visiting with others, and so happy to be able to drive and be unpacked at home by 7:30 pm. So jealous of the east coasters who get to do this all the time. A fun weekend.

Middle distance at SLOC. I was tired. I made mistakes. Not a good day in the woods. Followed by a delicious gourmo lunch and epunch training. Time to rest up for the relays. EDIT: manually adjusted HR training zones

Night O champs. My goal was move cleanly and briskly. I was worried about my cold, but it was a non-issue. I walked most of the course, and did OK on the navigation. I can tell it's early in the season, because I wasn't always confident that I was on track, and I second guessed myself a few times. Most of the time, I was on track and doing fine. Managed most controls well tonight; with some problems on 5 and 9. Really slowed down on the last part of the course, because I was tired and the vegetation was just as crappy as home.
New flexible HR strap seemed to have problems. No way my HR was this low. EDIT: I manually adjusted my HR training zones
This year, my "new" sport is tennis. I had my first park and rec class tonight. All adults, for a change. Mostly women, many in their 20s. It was fun, although I wish we had a little more instruction, rather than just drills. The class is a mix of beginners and intermediates, and I guess they want to keep us moving, rather than standing around listening. The class lasted an hour, but I'm only logging 15 minutes of activity.
