Orienteering 1:48:00 [3] 4.98 mi (21:41 / mi)
ahr:125 max:156 shoes: North Face GTX
Did the PLRA Orange with Jennifer Kilbourne. I seem to not have the map...I think I left it with Michael Li when I dropped off controls post meet. Using the Perm course map to remember stuff....
#1 Fairly Straightforward.
#2 Convinced Jennifer we should beeline as much as possible. We didn't hold the bearing well, and let a very deep swampy area fool us. We bobbled, hopped up on a ridge and kept going, got to it.
#3 Beelined and got it.
#4 Followed a bit of trail and then up to the reentranty thingy.
#5 Definitely a decision here to beeline or use trail. Wound up using trail and went up a very nice hill! Thanks Jens, Michael and Tony!
#6 Trail went to it.
#7 (Can't remember the location)
#8 Was my favorite, beautiful woods going into it. And I like pits. :)
#9 Bushwhack, bushwhack, bushwhack. :)
#10 That was tough. Bobbled A LOT. Then, took a bearing from a major feature.
Lots of fun!
I learned:
1. Practicing beelining is important.
2. Need to find a way to hold myself better to a bearing. We nicknamed ourselves Zig and Zag.
3. Need to better determine when trail or beeline is better. I think that at this stage in my learning, keeping with the beeline is better for future accomplishments, just getting used to it and practicing features.
Fun stuff!

Picked up white and yellow controls post meet. We made it interesting by bushwhacking across following the shoreline and identifying features. Fun!

Note
Backing off a little this week, so much yard work to do, and work is a little nuts. Will be at the O-meet on Saturday-can't miss that! Also, I am working on a training plan for the Fury. Let me know if you have any suggestions! Good luck everyone on the final push for the Rage! :)

Running warm up/down 4:00 [3]
ahr:138 max:179 shoes: Vibram Five Finger Bikala
Warm ups are in order! I have this thing that I have been dealing with where my heart rate spikes in the first 5-10 minutes if I don't warm up--and it seems to be specific to running?
Running 36:00 [3] 4.0 mi (9:00 / mi)
ahr:157 max:167 shoes: Vibram Five Finger Bikala
Trekking 15 [3] 1.0 mi (15 / mi)
Worked on pacing averages. On a dirt road, doing what I would call a hiking hustle, I did .02mi for 25 paces (average), then .05mi for 50 paces, and about .1 for 105 paces. Will figure out how this all translates onto a map, into km, accommodate for woods, etc.

Took my son out on the yellow course today. My son has autism and ADHD, and along with a fixation to wear his black sweatshirt. With all this, stayed on course somewhat and I feel thrilled that we got through it!
