Orienteering 2:23:08 [3] *** 6.2 km (23:05 / km) +345m 18:04 / km
17c shoes: Saucony Trail
Red(!!!) at Calero with Presto! I wasn't planning to run red today, but they were out of green maps by the time I got to the start, and I thought brown seemed a bit shorter than I wanted to run, so I figured I could always quit if that seemed like the smartest move and set off on red.
First of all, the good things: I ran/slid on slippery ground/trudged up super steep hills/slid down super steep hills/minced my way through evil grass for nearly 2.5 hours without any knee pain! Presto had a good time and then was all sleepy and floppy the rest of the day :-).
That being said (and the no pain thing is huge!!!), this wasn't really my best showing out there. I made a bunch of mistakes which were particularly costly with the steepness, and was just generally sort of slow and wimpy with respect to the vegetation. I also was totally convinced that I should contour around things even after like 6 controls in which I started to contour around, only to discover that I didn't actually have enough traction to stay stuck to the side of the hill and needed to go down or up and around.
Anyway, I'm super excited about successfully being out orienteering for so long without pain, even if I made the fun extra long for myself!

Running 2:02 [3] 0.5 km (4:04 / km)
shoes: Saucony Trail
Running from the finish to the cars.
Stretching 10:00 [3]
Nice long stretch at home. My knee still feels pretty good, but I think I will be generally sort of sore (in a good I-did-a-lot-today sort of way as opposed to a bad I'm-injured sort of way) tomorrow.
