Training Log Archive: Thompass

One day into the trip and the main goal for me is too switch over to the new time zone as quickly as possible. For the 14th, of day I fulfilled most of that goal satisfactorily while still participating in training. It was definitely a rough series of flights, the 13th of June basically didn't exist for my brain, which just handled as a thirty something hour Wednesday. There was a bit of a close shave in Iceland, as all the midnight stopovers flocked to the single restaurant that was open and created quite a back up. I could see my gate for the 15 minutes I was late for boarding as I waited to buy my food, which induced a little stress that I was trying very hard to ignore, mo stress no problems. I was desperately trying to get done vitamins into my body so I felt less week, but the orange I bought took ages to peel and just left me with tears in my eyes and hands soaked in juice. I couldn't get the bloody slices to separate, and half the passengers has gotten in the plane, so I resigned my self to biting straight out of the orange, an even messier process. Overall, the experience wasn't worth it, I recommend buying an apple instead. Arriving at 7 am was an absolute mess. I tried very hard to nap on the plane when Finnish time was after midnight, but other than a fourty minute quickie that took half an hour to force myself into with closed eyes, no success. I stumbled through the first exercise with a terrible headache, and despite drinking water, bottle after bottle, piss as clear as snorkeling off the coast of Cuba, nothing good was happening for me. Eventually Anton commented that I like sick, and I basically decided that sleep > sick, so I slipped into an hour or so nap and woke up with a clear mind, so I really enjoyed the second training. No headache to be seen, but I was worried because my brain thought it was the 15th even though I was well aware of the fact it was still Wednesday. That never bodes well for sleep. 7, 8, 9, 10 rolls around, and when I begin to think about sleep I'm relieved to find myself able to relax and come close to sleep. It's 4:30 in the morning right now, and considering the crappy long day yesterday, I'm quite content with the ~5 hours of sleep I got, I feel well rested and an craving orange juice. Thought I might as well bust out a quick story I mean summary since no-one is awake anyway, and if they are they're hiding it. I might have seen Dylpop shift a few times so maybe he's awoken. I'll probably test that sentiment when I go get orange juice right now. Rauhan ulos, hopefully my rambling recount of yesterday is entertaining to read.

C • What a day 2

Group run

Random hill sprint

Good first part, but didn't realise we were doing a second map for the rest of the course so wasted a lot of time at 6 and the start looking for people.

40 controls

By the time I realised what had happened, the others had gotten quite along, so I ran 12, 13, 14, 15, 9, 10, 11.

47 controls

Partner orienteering with Dylan.

63 controls

It's one run, just split into two parts.

Played most of the game, we win 6-2. Played very well but it was ridiculously wet, so most of my attempted one touch passes were all over the place.

Run with Seth, he forgot to eat breakfast because I woke him up twenty minutes after I was supposed to be at his house and he kinda forgot, so that made the latter bit of the run kinda rough for him.

Very hot, and I wasted a ton of time on a misplaced control so didn't come very close to clearing, missed a cluster of 3 and my planned final control.



Missed four, for a total hit of 15 controls.

Walking memory-o with Vince, and very mild control pickup
34.

Score-O - Splits
