Note
(rest day)
Was meaning to go for a run today, but then there were train delays on the way home from the mountain so I got home 30 minutes later than expected. I was also super cold when I got home because skiing off piste today I was dressed a bit too warm, so my base layers were wet. Waiting outside in wet layers really sucked and I didn't get warm for a while after getting home.
Bummer about missing a run but 'twas a good reason.

Running intervals 1:07:38 [3] 10.93 km (6:11 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 2013
Was kinda disappointed about my times at the intervals last Thursday, so I did a little interval session on my own today. It was really cold (for swiss standards) and I had to put a few more layers on than usual.
Felt better after doing these. The stretch I measured out was flat, but there was a gate in the middle that added a couple seconds on each direction. There was also snow on the trail so I was slipping around a bit.
1000 3'44 3'40/km
1200 4'24 3'40/km
1600 5'56 3'47/km

Running intervals 1:20:18 [4] 13.2 km (6:05 / km) +131m 5:48 / km
shoes: Asics Gel-1170
5x30/30, 1200-1400-1600-1400-1200 with 3m rest, and 5x15/30. Didn't feel very fast during the main intervals, and then had a lot left for the 5x15 at the end. I know it's winter training so I don't have to wreck myself, but I do need to work on pushing myself through the long intervals, or else why am I even doing them.

This training's focus was on the compass, which is good because I'm terrible at using my compass. We were supposed to try and stay as close to the line as possible, and try and make our gps distance match the course distance. Map was also missing trails and cut lines.
The map was a little bit older and less accurate than what's standard in this region. 5 years seems to have made a significant difference in the vegetation, with random patches of green popping up here and there.
1. Easy control, gave me a confidence boost in my abysmal compass skills.
2. Ran very close to the line. This might be a good time to note that there weren't any o-bags out there this time, but rather blue and red streamers. The colors on these streamers were very bland and translucent. This made it really hard to see them with the fresh snow, and I wondered if I was color blind numerous times in the course when I was standing next to the streamers but couldn't see them, including here.
3. Went way off my compass and couldn't relocate because the vegetation wasn't accurate here. I saw the patch of green I should have gone to, but then saw another one farther right and veered off my compass towards it.
4. Not quite on the line, but whatever. I wasn't very sure of myself near the control, and couldn't quite pick out the thick green I was supposed to go to.
5. Caught up to Michi here, he was standing between two of the ditches, right next to the control, and couldn't see it. I didn't find it until I was close enough to touch it.
6. Lit bit of zig zag through the green, but close enough.
7. This one was either definitely in the wrong spot, or the map was completely wrong here.
8. Mmmm gotta love hard compassing through dense green.
9. I ran down the cut and knew that it would be on my right, but the depression was really shallow and filled with snow so I didn't see it for a while.
10. Solid compass work.
11. Didn't find this one. I attacked numerous times off the tree stand and found the very shallow depressions, but no streamers. Eventually moved on.
12. Those rocks were like a quarter meter tall, definitely shouldn't have been mapped. These guys are almost as bad as us in the midwest in mapping insignificant rocks.
13. Beelined this one. Good job Michael
14. Looks like I was pretty good up until the end after the thick green. Was getting colder and I was losing motivation and getting frustrated because of how long I've been out. When I got to the trail by 14 I knew in the back of my head that I was too far left, but there was a guy with a chainsaw down the trail and I definitely didn't remember him there the first time I passed through here, so I kept my confused distance. Eventually headed over and found it.
15. Yeah I didn't find 15. It was getting darker, and I was cold and tired. I tried going for it but I ended up so far off my compass that I just bailed.
