Running 3:28:51 32.19 km (6:29 / km) +1065m 5:34 / km
shoes: Hoka Mafate 2
Long run from South part of the Dingle North to the Tai Chi centre & back.
Great day to be out, and the legs were really good.
North part was very treacherous- frozen mud had 2cm on top that had thawed, as I found out when my Hokas turned into heavy toboggans, and I went flying on my front. Had to be very careful in that section after that, and actually found bushwhacking easier.
On the way back my legs were best around the 2-hour mark, and I felt like I was just flying on the flats. Running out of gas by the time I got back to the car though.
Doesn't look all that fast on the download, but over 1000M climbing will slow things down.

Old-man plod to work. Ankle is a bit sore, but a lot of icing last night helped.
Knee's also a bit touchy. Definitely feel the hard work from yesterday.
Easy run home in the dark and the snow.

Orienteering race 3:05:19 29.35 km (6:19 / km) +478m 5:50 / km
ahr:169 max:187 shoes: Salomon FellCross
Raid the Hammer Oakville on team Beowulf.
First time racing with both Gallys, and we raced really well together.
We started with a Matrix, and I had control C at the bottom of the valley. I decided to hammer it back to our meeting place around the trail rather than bush straight across but probably lost some time there (40 seconds longer than the way out according to the GPS), and came in pretty pooched after practically redlining it. Shortly after I rolled my ankle pretty well, but managed to walk it off a bit and got back in the game.
Gally's nav was really excellent, and we'd leapfrog all-male teams frequently. Ms Gally and I got the system dialed, with just a light tow between us keeping the team together and at the perfect pace for Gally to nail the nav. Some good solid climbs and slippery descents, but more flat trail/ road running than most.
We ended up getting passed by Team HermeStix at the last control in the bush, and were 4th co-ed. We were back and forth with all-male TarnLoGeddon, but they got us by 20 seconds at the end, so we ended up 10th.
Very happy with that in such a strong field, 20 min back from the overall winner.
