Curious to see how it pans out - the 10 photo slideshow for Proud Lake has a higher initial click rate than the single image ones. Thanks for the pics MI Climber

Should have started earlier, but at least got something in. More concerned about de-crapifying my habits at this point. :|

ahr:181 max:195
Orienteering 1:26:42 5.16 mi (16:48 / mi) +101m 15:50 / mi
ahr:161 max:182 16c
I feel like the bulk of my fourth place was due to fitness, however, I did stuff up #1, which is always a terrible feeling, probably 3-4 minutes wandering around to incorrect streams.
Really enjoyed the course, have to go back and run the fall I missed sometime.
Igor taunted me by catching and passing me, and then easing off the gas and staying within sight, at least every time we were both on hill tops. ~200 m? Kind of funny. Yep, not a terrible route choice, Igor's up there. Yep, right zone, Igor's up there.

ahr:126 max:182 46c
Kind of cool that I remember spending about 3h15m to not finish a red course out at Peach Mountain, and can now stroll through 46 odd checkpoints, include a half dozen tweaks, in about the same amount of time.
Had to add yet another white c because a tree blocks what would be an easy to follow trail.
One parallel error while I wondered what the engine noise was. Mower somewhere? I never did figure it out. I should have been tighter anyway.
Woods, at this moment, are insanely good in places. Curious if visibility drops a bit in the next three weeks.

Felt really tired 20 minutes in, but kept shuffling. Beautiful conditions - very slight breeze, sunny, nice temp.

Event: SMOC Chilson
2 PM
Biking 2:43:53 24.09 mi (8.8 mph) +92m
ahr:124 max:160 shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
I started out with the idea of 38, which I quickly threw away when I got into the wind and realized I was dragging a bit anyway, plus I got onto two seasonal roads, which are awesome WT prep but not exactly 15 mph+ thoroughfares.
Also, given that it was mid 30s when I got up, I overdressed a wee bit but didn't have the sunscreen I felt I needed to pare down.
Enjoyable. I love the seasonal roads.
The photo does not capture the gorgeous rich blue above this farm:
I love closed bridges on seasonal roads!
I haven't figured out much about my new bike computer, so I was not using it for road browsing and I was lightly surprised to go by this river bend park, so I stopped in. Other pictures in my log are from this spot.
I wasn't sure if my rear tire was going to hold, since it's been weeping sealant, unfortunately while hanging above a stroller grrr, anyway I brought a floor pump just in case.

Running warm up/down 8:25 0.66 mi (12:45 / mi)

Orienteering 1:25:31 5.5 mi (15:33 / mi) +193m 14:01 / mi
ahr:151 max:202 13c
Pre ran a super fun red at Chilson. I always pictured Chilson as a perfect middle venue, and Tom went ahead and made a great long of it.
Was planning to stealth edit in my splits but naturally the watch stopped thanks to a button being squeezed by my wrist. If I can come up with a fair number I might do it anyway, although my time will be terrible since it’s quite hilly.
Also reflected on how much enjoyment Igor has given us with all of these great maps!

Running 24:56 1.72 mi (14:30 / mi)
ahr:135 max:169 shoes: Brooks Ghost Swagger
10 minutes warm up
5 reps of Dead Man's Hill (now denoted by new Middlebelt Hill signs).
~35-40s up running
1:50-2:00 down walking on the wood steps
Then I walked to the car.
No overrev, just taxed fitness. Could have done more but pace would have dropped, plus maybe not a need to kill it on the first outing.

Orienteering 1:14:21 4.96 mi (14:59 / mi) +177m 13:30 / mi
ahr:160 max:197 12c shoes: Roclite 315
Really fun course. While running it, I reflected on how cool it would be to move a misplaced c like Igor has, to have that complete confidence at speed.
Then I moved #10, which was on a smaller unmapped saddle instead of the big one. Hopefully I was right! Might be marginally too far into the reentrant, but much closer than the 50 odd meters it was off.
I took the waist deep marsh crossing to 6.
Mostly good other than wobbling around when contouring, need to clean that up. Fitness is unsurprisingly not where it should be.
No flutter is awesome - hitting a soft wall of “yeah I can’t keep this up” is so much better than “is this the end”.

ahr:130 max:159 shoes: Brooks Ghost Swagger
I may yet eat chips I shouldn't eat. I may yet watch a tv show instead of being productive. But by golly I got a shuffle in.
Really thinking about a way to get back to a non fictional heart rate, either by a new battery in the Fenix or some other strap based option.

Note my finest Q1 given the distractions, but permit in great shape (threw final payment balance and insurance info in mail today), so Nitrogaine V is open for business.
