Yoga 50:00 [1]
Focus on doing sun salutations properly
3 PM
Biking 1:01:04 8.98 km (6:48 / km) +43m 6:39 / km
ahr:130 max:175 shoes: Trek DS 3 hybrid
Another warm afternoon (~mid 80s) so off to Jordan Parkway again for biking. Tried a number of singletrack mtb trails, not as windy as last time so some of which were reasonable, some of which had obstacles that I had to walk my bike over/past.
Tipped over once going up a steep hill where I was planning to hop off anyway but my wheel caught something that stopped me sooner. There was a convenient bush nearby and thankfully no poison ivy ... there. I did notice some along some other trails. Had to turn around once when a trail was blocked by a downed tree...I wonder if it came down in last week's storm.
On one trail saw a bunny near the same intersection I'd seen one before. Must have a home nearby.
Fun.

6 PM
Note
AOWN note: at one point I could see I was about to ride through a very large spider web crossing the mtb trail...I tried to hit it near the side instead of head-on in the middle.... I don't think I got much on me.

Event: DVOA Mount Penn - Antietam
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:18:56 **** 5.47 km (14:25 / km) +121m 13:00 / km
ahr:129 max:167 spiked:7/10c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Green course 4.3 km, 150m climb by Bob Gross. About 78 at start with a breeze so not bad except for the humidity.
Fine through the first 5, then missed 6 and 7 off to one side or the other. Fine to 8, then exited wrong and went a short way in the wrong direction on the road before checking my compass and correcting. Found the right trails to 9, and set my compass to 10 and swore silently as it was a short leg (250m or so) up 4 contours on a boulder-strewn hillside to a big rock (I picked the wrong one) and then back down to the finish. My Halo sweatband-hat was dripping when I finished.
But I had fun (except for #10) and got to chat with the MacMullans. :-)

Ironton Rail Trail in Whitehall, Coplay, and Hokendaqua. Temp about 78 to start, 82 when we finished, mostly sunny. Nice trail with pavement on most of it and gravel on the west end.
Longest ride so far (distance); left foot started to get numb in the last few km.

Yoga 50:00 [1]
Allover workout, plus focused savasana (unless you drifted elsewhere)

8 PM
Walking 42:00 3.13 km (13:26 / km)
ahr:92 max:117
After dinner stroll in the mugginess after the rain stopped. Lovely sunset colors.
We stopped to chat with a neighbor who also goes to yoga (I didn't stop watch or delete time). She was walking her new puppy, a King Charles Spaniel.

Biking 56:14 8.91 mi (6:19 / mi) +27m 6:15 / mi
ahr:121 max:155 shoes: Trek DS 3 hybrid
Around 80F and partly cloudy.
Around neighborhoods, making wrong turns, but eventually made it safely to Starbucks at Promenade Shops. After I consume my beverage, I'll head home a more direct way (but not the fastest-by-car, which involves a dicey Rt 309 crossing... not pedestrian-friendly, either).
Some of this was on a gravel trail that was a bit soft and wet in places but I made it through. Had to lift the bike over a gate near Rt 378.

Promenade Shops to Rt 309, where my chain came off the front gear....
Walking 3:54 0.27 km (14:36 / km) +3m 13:54 / km
ahr:112 max:128
I walked it across the road, and partway down Chestnut, until I met a man on a bike who asked what was up, and was able to show me how to get the chain back on the gear...
Biking 4:15 0.99 km (4:19 / km)
ahr:128 max:157
... and I finished the ride back home.
