orienteering 2:09:49 [4]
Short Stumble
Had a pretty decent race with only two small errors, backtracked a bit on 5/C in the first window thinking I had come to the stream but in fact hadn't gone far enough and drifted a bit left on the way to 12 and was momentarily a bit confused. Lost maybe a minute or so on the first and 30 seconds on the second. Other than that, spiked everything and am happy with my route choices. In particular, very happy with the way I took the second window: 18, 19, 14, 15 16, 17. I had one climb from 18 to 19 and then the rest was really fast and very little up and down. I changed my mind several times on how to do that window on the long route from 10 to 11. But I used the magnifier on my compass to really understand the contours and was able to move really fast between the controls one I got there. Everything else was so wide open - both in the terrain and on the map - and the map was easy to read so the only thing to think about was route choice and I went mostly straight. It took a conscious effort to shift gears and concentrate on details and my compass in that last window.
Physically felt good and even ran some near the end when I realized I was almost done.

Note
3 hrs of yard work.
Woke with a really sore neck. Grrr....I thought that was getting better.
Need to get back to my training routines: stair repeats and weights and stuff.

walking 2:00:00 [2]
Walking along the Boulder multi-use trail before catching my ride to the airport. Lots of reminders of the flooding with some underpasses still closed. Turned around when the sign said the trail further up the canyon was closed. Checked out the Boulder Dushanbe Tea House which looked really cool but it didn't open for another hour.
