Orienteering race 47:01 3.32 km (14:10 / km) +27m 13:37 / km
ahr:143 max:164
Orienteering at Peffer Woods, set by David Waller. First time I've run in ten or eleven weeks. My foot did pretty well, but the run into the finish was just a slog, and I was running with heavy footfalls, and about 10m from the finish, my foot started hurting again.
I walked the second race, and didn't have much additional pain.
No idea what's wrong. Also, I was really exhausted on an early climb on the second race. I'm either really, really out-of-shape, or there is something wrong with me. I think I need to spend some time googling. If I can't figure something out by Monday or so, I think I need to talk to my doctor.

A hilly ride near my hometown. I haven't ridden much, and this was obviously too much too soon. I felt fine until about halfway through, and then I rode up a little hill and basically had nothing left. It was sort of a power limitation. I could pedal mostly fine on flats and downhills, but as soon as a hill got above a certain slope, *boom*, I just blew up. I walked three hills---just the steepest sections. (And they weren't particularly steep.)
On the first big hill (Wolf Creek Road), I passed some old riding buddies (going the other way) and we had a short visit.
It was a good ride. There was a lot of vertical development in the clouds as I started, but maybe 40 minutes in, the sky had cleared remarkably. During the ride, I had a short visit with my aunt and uncle, and I stopped by my mother's and grandmother's graves. My mom died in a car crash fourteen years ago, today. Some days, like July 14, are still pretty tough.

Quick ride with a few hills. Really, really slow on the uphills.
Watched the WOC Middle Final on SVT (online) today. That was so cool. I was surprised by the long leg. I'm conflicted over whether or not it was fair. It seemed to really take some people out of the race. I was really happy for Merja Rantanen, but I was really impressed that Minna had such a bad day and seemed to hold it together as well as she did. I'm more amazed by Simone than ever before. I gotta find some analysis of the men's and women's long leg.
