Event: WPOC Keystone Capers A-event
Orienteering race 1:15:10 [5] 10.2 km (7:22 / km) +350m 6:17 / km
WPOC Day1 - Started late after a 6 hours drive. On the way to #1 glanced at the entire course and saw that a lot of it would be on trails. Wasn't feeling particularly fast, and knee started to nag after the first downhill, but I focused on having a clean race. Was doing ok, untill #12 where I didn't take the best route by going out to the road and stayed on a curvy trail instead where I took a spectacular fall by sliding head first and muddying my map. Then had another error on #14 where I fought with the dense veg that wasn't quite shown on the map. This drained me, and I started to fade and make small errors on each subsequent controls. Overall not a bad race, but could have been cleaner. Fell a total of 5 times on the course and stepped into a hole knee deep once. Really liked the course and having plenty of routes to chose from.

Running 10:00 [3] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
A quick jog in Verona park. Was on Advil for the past 3 days to calm the knee pain down. Had a weird encounter with a she-deer near by where I do my pull-ups. As I was finishing the loop around the park, it jumped out of nowhere by my left side and was flying towards me. I didn't know whether it wanted to attack or mate with me. But then about 2 meter from me it abruptly stopped and turned back. I latter saw it attacking other joggers. I can totally see it trying to chase a car next time and that would be the end of it.

Running 40:20 [3]
Easy run on trails at Eagle Rock with a few incursions into the wood here and there. Was sad to find many gullies on my favored trail after last week's washouts. Planning to do some O-ing on Thursday if everything falls in place.

Running 46:45 [4] 11.0 km (4:15 / km) +290m 3:45 / km
Ran Vadim's trail loop at Holmdel park using map while Greg and Vadim ran it at their pace. A fairly good effort, at ~30min started to get pretty hot, and the last hill was a pretty steep one, but managed to finish the entire loop.
