Training Log: Samantha

Note

At work for 11.75 hours today. Came home and have 2 hours until I fall asleep. Tried to do work for my classes, but really just spent the time staring at the computer screen. Was planning on lifting and maybe even running, but I stayed at work too long and it was well past dinner when I came home. Oh well.

Orienteering 1:35:56 8.0 mi (11:59 / mi)
ahr:135 max:165 shoes: Teva Trail Shoes

Long run with Dad in the Blue Hills. Some very soggy trails and so we were slowed down by having to cut across country or jump across streams. Then Dad let us stop and dig canals on the side of the trail so that the water could drain. I love doing that :) I find it incredibly satisfying to dig a canal and see the water begin to flow rapidly down it and off the trail. Just like I did when I was a kid and Lindsay, Hill and I would spend entire orienteering meets in the stream beds daming and umdaming the stream. So we did some trail maintenance along the way by helping about 3 major wet spots drain.

Garmin took a long time to find satellites.

C • Trail maintenance 5

trail run 29:41 2.7 mi (11:00 / mi)
ahr:132 max:154 shoes: Asics 2130

Trying to stop my watch between warm up and the actual workout so that I can get batch upload to work for me. The watch didn't find satelites until about 10 minutes into the warm up. Dad and I headed to Blue Hills to do the hill repeats that we did a lot of last year.

road run (R pace hills) 24:46 2.28 mi (10:52 / mi)
ahr:148 max:180 shoes: Asics 2130

10 times up the access road to the tree stump and the jogging back to the bottom with PG's map from team trials in 03. :) Although my HR never got into zone 5, I was running them as hard as I could. I feel like that measns I should log them as a zone 5. This is where the garmin gets tricky. Also, it's annoying to me that the splits on the watch truncate and the splits that show up online round. They look like completely different splits then. I wish I could get them to go out to the nearest 10th of a second without having to go into the watch to get it.
My splits rounded to the nearest tenth:
49.8
52.7
52.3
50.0
52.0
50.0
50.9
50.0
51.7
50.6

Ok, and twice I had to round up to 50 even. I felt faster when it just truncates it on the watch! :) I can't remember what my splits were last year, but I think I was running every one under 50. Hmmmm.....

C • oh no! 3

trail run 16:23 1.5 mi (10:55 / mi)
ahr:139 max:166 shoes: Asics 2130

warm down.

road run 45:00 [2] 4.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics 2130

Out in the cold rain, after Dad rescued me from school because I had a flat tire. Glad that Dad came so that I didn't have the change the tire in the driving rain by myself. Once I was out running it wasn't so bad. The rain first soaked through my pants right above my knees and that was the coldest part.

rowing machine 15:00 [2]

Note

Ross and I came up with the perfect logo:

Event: US Team (unofficial) 3K time trial
 

road run 19:11 [2] 2.0 mi (9:35 / mi)
ahr:150 max:181 shoes: Asics 2130

Team time trial. Drove over to the Harvard indoor track with Ross on this windy and rainy day/ Met up with Karen and Katia. Brendan unfortunately forgot that it was daylight savings and arrived later and Ian and sgb never appeared. Ran a few laps to warm up and did one 200 fast to get a feeling for the pace.

track workout race 11:01 [5] 3 km (3:40 / km) vdot: 52.7
ahr:187 max:194 shoes: Asics 2130

Thought that I would try to run 88-90 second splits.
Splits:
82
91
89
91
90
91
88
37

Felt great the first mile and then it got harder. With about 600m left to go I was ready to be done, but I made it through :) Secretly hoping to break 11 minutes and came quite close. I think that running on a 400m track is faster, so maybe I'll try again next month to see if I can do it. For today though, indoor was certainly better!

C • Nice! 14

road run 14:28 [2] 1.5 mi (9:39 / mi)
ahr:152 max:164 shoes: Asics 2130

Cool down.

Karen led us in some running drills and plyometrics. Very tiring!

3000m run - Splits

Orienteering 45:17 3.72 mi (12:10 / mi)
ahr:144 max:181 shoes: mudclaw 330 0

Running over to Hammond Pond with Ross and then looking at the orange course for an upcoming local meet there. Rainy and cold. I tried to do map memory and memorize each leg by looking at the map once, but I wasn't concentrating hard enough and I got frustrated because I kept on missing the control.
