Event: SMOC Haven Hill
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:28:41 [3] **** 8.87 km (10:00 / km) +301m 8:33 / km
spiked:21/25c shoes: Luath Blue XTalon 212s
Flying Pig Red Classic MWW 7.6 km
Meet 13, course 18
Better race than yesterday for the most part. Drifted and then confused the marshes on the way to C6 and a frustratingly small miss on C14 that grew to the biggest error. Probably could have taken a better route to Cxx, but very pleased with what I executed; relatively hard but I made it work well for me. Top half finish was as a win for the weekend given the strength of the field.
Won two splits, yipee!

Orienteering race 1:41:28 **** 10.44 km (9:43 / km) +302m 8:29 / km
spiked:15/22c shoes: Luath Blue XTalon 212s
Flying Pig Red Classic MWW 8 km
Meet 13, course 17
These two classic courses are apparently not getting good write-ups as I waited too long.
Collectively, each race had 3-4 large errors but were otherwise good. My pace was pretty slow through many sections, and it was hard to get much intensity 4 other than some hill grinding. They were both very fun. I really appreciated the substantial course reviews with Igor and Ted after each race. There was a bit at the end of today (C14? to finish) and tomorrow (C16? to finish) where I bounced back and forth with Igor and Todd, respectively. These sections helped drive me; it is peaceful running alone in the woods but it is a blast having a competitor to duel with.
(For this race, the veg enroute to C5 makes me scream. Every meet, same place, same problems....driven off line too far west to hit the correct spur)

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XX
Orienteering race 19:21 ** 3.3 km (5:52 / km)
spiked:19/22c shoes: Luath Blue XTalon 212s
Flying Pig Red Sprint Miami Hamilton 2.9 km
Meet 13, course 16
Good race, confusing leg one but after that I settled in. Windy out in the open so it didn't feel very quick. I had two relatively big hesitations but overall I was happy with this!

Cycling (indoor) 11:45 [3] 5.0 km (25.5 kph)
Arrived at the Y expecting to go for a run. The approaching storm and lightning said otherwise so we opted for the sad and safe indoor workout.
Treadmill 30:00 [4] 3.99 mi (7:31 / mi) +175m 6:37 / mi
shoes: Saucony Guide 8 - 2016
Hard run on the treadmill, rolling hills. With the humidity in the building, this was a sweatfest.
Core! 2:00 [3]
planks
Stretching 13:30 [1]
