Running 32:26 3.71 mi (8:44 / mi) +6m 8:42 / mi
ahr:165 max:175 shoes: Brooks Ghost 5s
Tried to squeeze in a little car shopping, then was late to make the running group, so I thought I'd book over and try to real in some 3 milers. But I started too late, only caught some walkers and one 5 miler at the turn off point. I should have gone on a more direct intercept, but I can be pedantic about completion.
This tracking is atrocious. I miss you, 305.

So many dog walking options. They are not the speediest critters on the planet. Too much to sniff.

Walking 8:38 0.65 mi (13:12 / mi) +1m 13:08 / mi

Walked over to the Run DTP meeting place.
6 PM
Running 31:16 3.1 mi (10:05 / mi) +6m 10:02 / mi
ahr:150 max:163 shoes: Brooks Ghost 5s
Three mile version. Settled in with a guy recovering from the Freep half and one of the other noobs. 5 and 7 go past the house, but I thought I should ease into it. Plenty of time before the big races.
Walking 9:50 0.58 mi (17:02 / mi) +4m 16:41 / mi
ahr:109 max:135 shoes: Brooks Ghost 5s
Walk back, although I stopped because someone was landing a drone, or as they called it when I was a kid, radio controlled helicopter type thing. That thing was crazy stable in the wind.
7 PM
Walking 20:41 0.87 mi (23:38 / mi) +2m 23:28 / mi
ahr:92 max:114 shoes: Brooks Ghost 5s
Example given of the largely undocumented dog walks now happening in the new digs.

My perception of why the grad student assistants and prof think today's midterm will be no problem and I'm pretty sure it will be a problem:
The prof is like Igor orienteering. He's in the middle of the woods, but he has at least six tricks at his disposal to tell where he is:
* steepness
* lands shape
* vegetation boundaries
* compass
* approximate distance from his last trail/ap
* runnability
I am like a day one noob that ended up in the middle of the Brighton glacial madness. I only know trails and compass, and even those not very well. I can't even see a trail from where I stand, and it also takes 3x as long to trail every thing. I don't know where I am, so the compass isn't helping.
If I fail the test, I'll try to invite the prof to an orienteering meet.

Event: SMOC Island Lake
Orienteering 1:55:00 [3] *** 9.1 km (12:38 / km)
spiked:13/16c
I intended to let off some moving stress by going to my happy place. Except I didn't get #1 on the first pass, ouch. Then I was in good shape until #8, enjoying some of the route choices and hill avoidance puzzles in the Badlands. Missed slightly east of 8 in thicker stuff so couldn't sort it out. The missed seeing the immediate road route to #9, but eventually got there after some fight. Almost skipped 11, but figured it out when Riverview came up instead of train tracks!
Really screwed up #13, let my guard down despite it being a perfect Jens trap (big feature, specific point). Ended up in the dry swamp, thought I could see around the north end, but was further south, got embarrassingly close to #14.
Screwed up #15 as well, I could not find the isthmus, nor see if from the reeds.
Great to get out, wish I was fitter!
Holy crap I got rolled. Ugh.

Finally immobile for the first non sleeping, non class time since Friday. Feet hurt. Forearms hurt in places I didn't know they could hurt. Hands are chafed and fatigued.
House is in good shape now. Biggest challenge ahead: exercise equipment into basement., specifically the treadmill. No known way to separate it....

Biking 18:00 [3] 3.0 mi (10.0 mph)
shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
Fixed wheel is great.
gopro studio absolutely refuses to export the video file for use by anything (eg., youtube, orientview). Internet help somewhat fruitless.
The only thing I haven't tried is Windows 10.

Event: SMOC Yankee Springs
10 AM
Running 5:00 [3] 0.25 mi (20:01 / mi)
token warmup while fighting with watch. need firmware update or trade for one that doesn't freeze as much?
11 AM
Orienteering 1:23:20 *** 6.02 mi (13:51 / mi) +293m 12:02 / mi
ahr:170 max:190 spiked:10/11c
Good run for me at Yankee - couldn't mix it up with the superstars, but if I had not chosen a bad route to #9 and executed it even more badly, remove that eight minutes of floundering and it was a competitive run.
1 PM
Orienteering 1:53:12 *** 4.54 mi (24:56 / mi) +129m 22:55 / mi
ahr:117 max:163 spiked:7/7c
Met Michelle and friends out at #7 for some coaching. They were nice company. It seemed like a good fit - they knew enough that I could tell them useful things and they understood, but not so much I couldn't help.

Note
Dragon rear wheel in for a hub bearing rebuild @ 3800 miles. Noticed as a bit of a ringing clang, then a small wobble at the hub. Rode fine.
