 | Orienteering 21:08 [4] *** | |
| spiked:7/8c |
| I organized a small local O training where I set the controls, small plastic ones, as I ran the course, I did well and only missed one control, I circled around to the correct place, the five other people all said that the controls were in the right place so I did good. It was good to get some map and forest time. I hope I get enough of a turn out to do these every week... |

Sunday Aug 20 |
| Orienteering race 1:44:34 [5] **** | |
| spiked:19/20c |
| Day two, much better, only undershot one control loosing maybe a minute, otherwise I went straight to the rest of them, even though it was a fairly complex area with lots and lots of rocks to get mixed up in... Physically I felt better, but still like I was moving like molasses, I was running almost all the way but I didn't feel like I had any speed what-so-ever!! Well, except at the finish where I had TWO runners right on my heels!!! |

| Trail Run long 1:37:38 [4] | |
| |
| Ran two big loops in the garden with the intent that this run would mirror the long run at the US Champs in a week. The first loop was 48 and change, then 3 minutes rest and water, which I figure is about the time spent at a water stop and while punching at all the controls, then 46 and change for the second loop, exactly as I intended, I picked up the pace towards the end of the run, just like in a race...hopefully. Now I just have to be mentally alert and not make bad route choices and I'll be golden. |

| Loops in the Garden. Went with the intention of doing three loops, but I felt so good that I did three and a half, and probably could have done four, but I decided that discretion is the better part of valor and didn't want to totally destroy myself. 16.3 mph average, 41.2 mph max and 2122' of climb!! Yikes, no wonder I'm tired now... |
