Training Log Archive: possum

We got back from our trip last night, and I went to 9Round for the first time in two weeks. Hope I'm not too sore tomorrow. We had two challenges today, included in the workout. The first was to get down on hands and knees, get back up and kick the big back twice, and continue for 3 minutes. I got 60 kicks, and had my heart rate maxed. The second was to punch the speed bag 300 times in the 3 minutes. I knew I couldn't do that, but I did get to 240. Not too shabby. Then I got my allergy shot and now I'm itchy.

I got a DNF on this one, but it wasn't a disaster like last week's. I was conservative, and spiked the first 3 controls, then messed up finding 4, which was one of the shorter legs. I always knew about where I was, and relocated twice, but couldn't find it, so instead of continuing to see the same wrong places, came in.

Long - Course 5 - Splits

We had a 1.8 km walk to the start, and today I followed my new rules. I tried to be conservative today, because I knew this would be tricky terrain. Instead of finding 1, I found 2, but it was easy to get to one, and only took me 1:03 to get back to 2. 3, 4, & 5 were pretty easy, and my best leg was 4 to 5. I was off at 6, and instead of being STUPID, I headed back to relocate and try my bearing again, but actually ran into 6 on the way back.
The rest of the race went fine. The footing was difficult for me, and I took conservative routes.

C • New rules 2

Tried a couple of controls on the model map. This will be difficult navigation with very intricate details, and only small topographical details.
