Training Log: Spike

cycling 45:00 [1]

Bike commute. I noticed a few Deffenbaugh recycling bins out on the streets. I wonder how many people are using them for curbside recycling.

Note

Sometimes I think orienteers are nuts (like when I read the thread about the logo)...Then I realize that people are nuts and orienteers are people.

orienteering 50:00 [2] 3.97 mi (12:36 / mi)

Jogging on muddy trails at Clinton SP. I carried a map - half O' map and half contours only.

Near the end I did a few hundred meters with some Trail Hawks.

cycling 1:15:00 [1]

Work commute followed by half an hour on the trainer when I first got home.

cycling 45:00 [1]

Work commute. It is spring break this week, so the traffic was especially light.

On the return trip I saw Mary. That was unexpected. I also saw Baby Jay playing with a hula hoop on the lawn in front of Strong Hall. That was also unexpected.

rowing 20:00 [1]

A bit on the land boat. My legs felt petty good today, but I thought an easy day was wise. Or maybe it was just lazy?

running 2:00:00

I went for a jog at Clinton State Park. About half of the run was just a regular jog on trails. The rest was fast-fieldchecking. I added a few simple features to the current verion of the basemap. Most of what I added were rockwalls. But, I also added a couple of buildings and a small bit of new trail. I was able to keep the heart rate around 110-120 while fieldchecking.

Note

Finally got around to loading the Forest Park sprint and the Hawn Runt to DOMA.

orienteering 56:11 [4] *** 5.2 mi (10:48 / mi)
ahr:163 max:179 15c

PTOC red course at a new map - Smithville. Kind of rough with some yucky (or maybe even icky) forest and a cold rain falling. I'd hoped and expected the rain to hold off, so I hadn't bothered with anti-fog on the glasses (not sure if it would have worked). I had a few difficulties reading detail on the map.

When you ran off trail it was a struggle to figure out how to get through fastest. Sometimes you push hard and fight to get through stuff. But, other times it was better to try to just ease back and focus on not thrashing.

All in all, a fun event.

running 10:00 [2]

Warm up jog. A bald eagle was flying around the little peninsula that I jogged on to warm up. That was pretty cool.

cycling 45:00 [1]

Just the commute. Nothing else. It wasn't exactly dream commuting weather. Steady, cold rain on both the to and from ride.

I worked a bit late tonight. I had some stuff to get done before daylight savings kicks in. Got it done.
