Orienteering 5:33:11 12.58 mi (26:29 / mi) +908m 21:38 / mi
ahr:124 max:161 shoes: Topo Ultraventure II
Not my finest, but nice to get out.
I thought I could loosely recreate my 2017 route, as that worked well. However, I didn't really think about how many ups and downs one encounters when 10 m contours obscure some up and down, and I was not moving very fast uphill.
Tactical error: it was a good idea to try my ski o map holder, but what I didn't think about was that it sits about 4" too high without reader glasses or bifocals. It still worked for some parts as I had the poles out by around our halfway time.
Biggest route error was thinking I could find a way to punch through a mapped clearing / rough open. I didn't think we were competitive by that point, which limited my desire to crawl, so we ended up on a huge dead slog to not pickup a bunch of points SW of the start. In hindsight, Livelox may show us close to 110 points of stuff in that area, which will be a little frustrating.
I enjoyed it and would go back next year. It'd be interesting to see if we can use some mental notes to tweak the vegetation settings. The map is generally speckled with green, but in some of those places, it could be pure white for dozens of acres, while other speckled areas are in no way much above 20% running speed.
Insert standard text about decreasing weight and increasing fitness. Cris had easily 2x the hill climbing power.

Biking 45:09 [3] 6.71 mi (8.9 mph) +47m
ahr:121 max:158 shoes: 2015 Camber
More wheelies!
This counts as exercise as my HR is higher than on the trainer.
A lot of almosts, a little tired to bring some things home.
Highlight: successfully went up the parking deck, made the first 1.5 corners, and then saw people fighting with boxing gloves.
