.75 ineffective warmup
4 miles of unjustified high effort and insubstantial pace

Fun fact: unsubstantial is the archaic form of insubstantial

Biking 2:24:34 16.01 mi (6.6 mph) +459m
ahr:158 max:207 slept:8.0 shoes: The General
Felt awful for the first short lap, then stopped back at the car for some water and shot blocks, then headed back out and felt better. So I still may often need the hour long warm up....
Woods looked great, I'd happily be in a rogaine on this terrain at this time of year.
Didn't hike out of respect for the remaining week of deer season, but am planning to check it out over Christmas I think. Interesting topography.
Perhaps my new favorite trail - more of the ride-through-the-woods feel, than a series of unending roots/drops/rocks/switchbacks. Which I can totally understand being a preference, but I enjoy the riding along sort of flavor.

Note
Throwback Tuesday:
Kevin asked, so I looked into my o history (to my recollection or quick skim of michigano results)
First event: 11/4/2007
Then very sporadically - don't see results in 2008, couple in 2009.
Even when frequency increased, generally kind of 2 hrs Green, 3 hrs Red sorts of results. Several DNFs on red.
For some reason, Keating asked me to try hosting, and I agreed.
I cohost and then solo host first in the spring of 2012. Immediately prior, still 2:45 kind of red.
Then I return in the fall and suddenly am 1:30 red kind of shape (where IG would be 1:05/1:10).
Talk about a switch flipping! I wonder if there's a way to present that to prospective hosts.

8 AM
Biking 1:29:33 8.15 mi (5.5 mph) +191m
ahr:104 max:143 shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
BNM tolerated my exceptional fragility: an obnoxiously lazy pace, doubling back to the car to further cover hands, listening to me humblebrag about how I never crash, shortly before I bounced off a rock and failed to unclip in time to save myself. No known harm done.
I think my front brake pads are gone, hopefully not so bad as to have damaged the rotors.
Five beautiful doe didn't even run away - we were within about 15' as we slowly moved by.

Orienteering 32:34 1.18 mi (27:36 / mi) +28m 25:44 / mi
ahr:88 max:126 5c slept:6.0 weight:219.6lbs shoes: Roclite #2
I took BNM's compass away and tried to get her to focus on, in business speak, the "critical few" features between her and her target, i.e. we have lots of squiggles, what is my sequence, e.g. spur depression spur boom target feature.

Event: SMOC Huron Meadows
Biking 45:00 [3] 3.0 mi (4.0 mph)
shoes: The General
Bike O: spectating the wife's 10k in Plymouth. Did not spike the first cp as I didn't realize there was a second wave, so misjudged the time. Got the other six. Should have brought a cowbell
12 PM
Running (warmup) 15:50 0.95 mi (16:40 / mi) +125m 11:50 / mi
ahr:134 max:173
Orienteering 1:12:33 5.41 mi (13:25 / mi) +143m 12:23 / mi
ahr:144 max:213 spiked:13/15c slept:6.0 weight:219lbs
Hosting has its advantages. Only slightly bobbles at 13 and 14, maybe a little hesitation to #3, then a few extra bends here and there but nothing crazy.
