Training Log: bhall

I'll post my maps from the weekend when I get the chance. I have to worry about doing homework more this evening, so it may be next weekend before I actually have the time to.
I would much rather look at my maps than do homework though...

To the start of the training

Control Pick
I didn't have any flow through the first controls but as I got going it got better.

Running the control pick backward to 17 and then running back to the start on the trail.

Memory-o (time including stopping at the start to look at the map)
My first two loops were pretty good, I hit the controls almost spot on, remembering what I planned on doing out of them.
My third loop went ok for the first two controls and then I struggled on the third because I remembered it as on the cliff when it was really in the reentrant by the cliff. I ended up going back to the start and making another plan which included the control I hadn't gotten on the last loop. Of course, I planned to do that control first and then planned the next controls off of that control. So, when I get again didn't recognize that it was the reentrant, I didn't find it so I couldn't really do the others. I got back to the start and talked to Greg about what my simplified plan for it should have been, and then he shadowed me to the cliff I had gone to the other two times correctly, where I hesitated and he reminded me that in fact, it was the reentrant that I needed not the cliff. I got to it after going slightly past and then going back when my so called "spidey sense" clicked on. I'm frustrated with myself that I hadn't recognized which feature it was on, but I also reminded myself that, had it been a regular course, I would have glanced at my map and seen that it was on the reentrant, and I would have seen the control out there.

Event: 30 Years of Pond Mt
 

This was an okay run. A bunch of stuff went reasonably well but other things could have been a lot cleaner. I'll write more about it later and also post my map when I get the chance.

Walking and running a corridor and line o

10 minutes of abs, 5 minutes of arms

Green - Splits

Legs

Running to Harvard, to Henry Street, and then back again because Google maps won't let me orient the map and I didn't known that the training started at the Public Library...

Street Sprint One

Street Sprint Two stopping at eight to get back at a reasonable time

Walking back to the Library from the eight

My knee started to hurt by the second course which worries me. I'm icing it and depending on how it feels tomorrow, I may not run. Just hoping that it doesn't bother me this weekend because I want to get as much as I can out of the training.
