Bicycling (Horseshoe Acres) 1:03:00 [3] 20.0 mi (3:09 / mi)
Wanted to tackle Terrible Mtn today, but not enough time so stopped at Horshoe Acres. Good run, but legs felt heavy at first. Best time by 3 min; still targeting to get under 1 hour.

O - competition race (West Point Green) 1:12:35 [5] 5.9 km (12:18 / km)
Trouble with #4, couldn't find the right root stock; lost a couple minutes. Then end of e-punch snapped off, so I started punching the map. Blew next to last control by drifting L; had to correct with a 300m lateral run across the hillside. Fortunately, everyone else had even bigger problems: won M-55 both days.
Bicycling (West Point) 47:30 [3] 14.6 mi (3:15 / mi)
Quick ride up and down length of 293 after orienteering. Nice road with really wide shoulders and smooth surface; long rolling hills. Felt good, but not a day for a long ride.

Event: West Point A meet
O - competition race (West Point Green) 1:04:28 [5] 4.93 km (13:05 / km)
Good run until water stop in middle. Backhanded cup into trash and thumb compass went flying off my finger into woods. Had to search for it and cadet spotted where it went. Also couldn't find Go control hidden behind construction vehicle.
Bicycling (Harriman) 1:40:00 [3] 26.4 mi (3:47 / mi)
Bike ride with Bernie Bretton and Jim Mertz after o-meet. From Suffern to Sloatsburg, then up 7 Lakes Drive to Lake Welch Dr. Then across and down off plateau to 202 and back to Suffern. Good ride.

Note
Not time today for training, so dropped bike off at shop for 500 mi tuneup and to get aerobars installed.
Got home to find 3/4 of a turkey carcass in the back field -- actually just the head was missing. Looks like it got tackled by fox and the neck snapped off. They ran off with the wrong end, as what was left was at least 10#.
Get out the road kill cookbook!

Bicycling tempo (1/2 benchmark ride) 39:00 [3] 12.6 mi (3:06 / mi)
RAIN! Lousy weather, but got to train for this, too. Down in ok time (34:18), despite puddles and wet road. Blew rear tire about a mile into the return leg. Installed a new tube and that blew at the stem. So put a patch on the first tire and reinstalled it. Pumped it up, but couldn't get much pressure in it. Was about to try riding on a really soft tire, when an SUV stopped and offered help. Since I was drenched and just starting to go hypo, accepted the graciously offered ride home. Took a while under a hot shower to thaw out.
Action item: get a new pump.
