Running race 1:29:29 20.1 km (4:27 / km) +500m 3:58 / km
ahr:180 max:192 shoes: NB MT 101
SS relay leg- details to follow
Progress reports at http://www.ar.attackpoint.org/discussionthread.jsp...
The plan was to watch my HR and run the first half a bit lower than I thought I could, to leave something for the big climbs in the second half. I felt I was well behind schedule, but didn't look at the time.
Plan worked! Made the goal time, and certainly worked hard at the end.
Not sure if I could have pushed a bit harder earlier on and still not blown up. I almost had a negative split, but the first half has more downhill.
It was great to be part of the "dream team", as I heard us called by other racers. Stellar performances laid down, especially by Hansel who had been sick all day. We took 18 min off the record!

Note
Big day for cycling records- amateur Aurelien Bonneteau just broke Olympic Gold Medalist Chris Boardman's UCI 1-hour record of 56.3 km set in '96.
He used an unfaired (no aerodynamic coverings, just a bare bike) carbon 'bent to go 56.7km, while Boardman rode an uber-TT bike in Superman position.
First time an unfaired 'bent has held this record in 78 years. Fully faired bullet-'bents have gone over 80k in an hour.

Orienteering 1:28:57 7.45 km (11:57 / km) +269m 10:07 / km
ahr:157 max:193 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite 2.0
O-fest long course.
31C and a lot of climb meant- advantage Adventure Racer with hydration pack. I won most of the splits after the 1 hr mark and felt fine at the end.
No big mistakes, no injuries, and I was able to pull off the win for a change.
