Wahoo! Officially had a *blast* mountain biking with Barbara at Island Lake. Ok, it was definitely muddy. But that meant the challenge was kinda more getting through the muddy spots rather than going at speeds that freaked me out on downhills, so that's ok by me =).
And, mountain biking would appear to be a way better workout than road biking. Road biking I always have issues getting my HR high at all. I guess MBing uses more of body?
Rest of Easter was really lovely, with amazingly delicious food hanging out with Barbara and family and friends!

ahr:124 max:157
A warm up, which just happened to take me to a kame (glaically-deposited hill) on the West side of Lake Genevieve (a kettle lake). Steep little hill with a nice view of the lake from the top.
Orienteering 45:19 4.8 km (9:26 / km) +132m 8:18 / km
ahr:152 max:171 19c
And I finished my taxes, so I was allowed to go orienteering! =)
Training at Lyndon Park with some other members of the keen SMOC crowd. It's a new map Igor is working on. Parts are a bit thick, ok, really quite thick, but it's fair and not truly impenertrable. A question- will leaves out on the raspberries make them better or worse for getting through? Maybe the leaves will deflect some of the thorns from grabbing in? But the leaves also make it all just a bunch less visible, harder to aim to step right on the suckers to avoid getting caught... hm.
QuickRoute
Felt rusty to 1 and 2, which shows, didn't read the contours sensibly to #1 and then didn't compass right to #2, no reason to not go straight on the line to it. The rest went pretty well, some hesitations that I should work on working out...

Rested for a bit and grabbed some water and contemplated whether I wanted to battle the brambles again and decided that yeah, I getter get my butt back out there and rack up a smidge more training before the Pig! So did the closer set of controls backwards.

And puttered around on the trails a bit, just exploring the park. Up another little hill with another good view. Then to a dock out into the lake. A park sign explained that a peat bog is forming on the W side of the lake, acid-loving plants and all that. A cool well-documented little park!

Running 10:02 0.95 mi (10:34 / mi) +23m 9:49 / mi
ahr:130 max:149
I was super-relieved to wake up to an email that one of the running guys had turned in keys to mall security and even more relieved when I called mall security at 10am and they had them, phew!! So I charged back down to Fallen Timbers Mall, picked them up from nice security people and then swung by Fort Meigs for some hill repeats, cause Maumee's kinda on the way home...
Parking lot was full of trucks and the river was full of dudes fishing. Saw some emerging in their waders with decent-sized fish over the course of the hour.

And, hill repeats! From Maumee River to the top of the bank the hill is on. Did 5 x hill, then a loop, then continuous up and down for 6.5 minutes. Legs felt a wee bit tired on the downs.
Really nice to run entirely off road on nice spongy grass!

And fail #133 (or so) of being a responsible adult.
I scooted down to Perrysburg after work to join Dave's group run, which was great. I ran with Jeff and Amy at a good pace for 6 miles. They're both local track coaches, so some chat of that amongst other things. Then we went to the pub after and then joined up with some astros in Toledo center after that. So 11.30 before I get home and I have no house keys.... panic panic panic.
Except, fail #132 of being a responsible adult was not even locking my back door this morning, so didn't have to sleep on my officemate neighbor's couch... But I didn't sleep that well even in my own bed, too panic-ed about the keys!

First track session of the season! Time to try to get the legs up-to-speed! Did 800 hard, 200 roll-on, 600 hard, 200 roll-on x 2, with 600m recovery between the two.
Times were:
2:45, 2:00, 80
2:46, 2:03, 78
I started out meaning to do a 3rd, but this seemed like enough for today, will see how the body copes with this for starters!

Core 15. The astro boys showed up, but I'm apparently scary because they went over to the corner of the room furthest away from me.
