Training Log: Rosstopher

Note

Didn't run on Friday, as Sam offered to wash my clothes and I really needed all my warm gear cleaned for the XC ski weekend at Chez Crockstar.

I'll log the weekend and Monday when I discover where I've hidden my GPS cradle...

suffice to say, good times were had :)

orienteering 57:17 [2] 0 mi
ahr:0 max:0

Apparently my Garmin didn't want to do any GPS logging this morning. I guess I was "Indoors" the whole time :) I scurried across the street to set streamer for the CSU Feb Semi-Permanent course. I spent a lot of time double checking areas and changing a few streamers to accommodate the woods. I ran out of time, and I had one streamer left when I had to quit and catch the last shuttle to work.

I think the course will be fun, I'm excited because I made sure to use as many novel control locations as possible. In some ways that's tough for a map that I use as often as Hammond Pond. It's also tough to fit 6 k into one course that is legible without a map exchange :)

road run 50:14 [2] 5.3 mi (9:29 / mi)

Running home after work. Came back through Hammond Pond to hang the last streamer on the Feb Semi-Permanent course. Now all I have to do is fix up the map and let people know they should come run!

Note

Got a cool and somewhat anonymous gift. A jigsaw puzzle of a map of my neighborhood with our house at the very center. The center piece of the puzzle is shaped like a house too. Definitely a cool present for an orienteer. Now trying to figure out who sent it.... current best guess is my sister.

Note

Got a bunch of my blood work back from this volunteer study thing that I'm going to be a part of. The Dr. mentioned that everything seemed good but that my White Blood Cell count was lowish (3.5 don't remember the units, but 4 is the low end of the normal scale) and that my hemoglobin and hematocrit numbers were on the low end of the scale and that he expected higher for an endurance athlete. I left those printouts at my desk at work, but I believe the numbers were something like 3.7 4.25 for RBC, 13 13.7 for hemoglobin, and 34 38.9 for hematocrit.....

Dr. Cypess isn't worried, but anyone out there have a feeling about whether this is an indication of an anemia? Mom, feel free to compare me to either a sheep or goat if that will help :)

C • Shall I compare thee to a summer's goat? 4

C • Hematocrit 6

road run 36:42 [2] 3.81 mi (9:38 / mi)

Now seeing how this batch entry thing works. slippery sidewalks on the way to work.

road run 36:51 [2] 3.92 mi (9:24 / mi)

Cruisin' home. I've got a scrape on my left flank that has scabbed over enough that my tights catch on the new skin. Not a particularly pleasant feeling :)

Note

We need a bigger Wok :)
