Note
I might have caught whatever it is that's going around New Haven. Feeling queasy and dizzy and headachey and overall unpleasant.

Note
My day 1 race at the Flying Pig (where I was 3rd on Blue in a field of 27) gave me a ranking score of 83, which is lower even than my US Champs race from last fall, when I was 22 minutes behind Ross. Not exactly what I needed for my pre-Trials ranking.

Around East Rock. The squirrels were out in force. I felt surprisingly springy tonight, probably because of the day off yesterday. Been a long time since I felt springy when running. Nice.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3] 5.0 km (12:00 / km)

What a day. Change of plans after driving to Worcester and back to rescue Sam, Ross, and Andrew on Friday night. Got up early to collect Becky from the lab and deliver Sam, Ross, and Andrew to Blue Mountain. Then, feeling tired and vaguely grumpy after the constant changes of plans, Becky and I drove over to Camp Buckner, where we were met by sunshine, throngs of boy scouts with orienteering maps, and a smiling Jordan in charge of the chaos. Mood was instantly lifted, and then I pre-ran the middle Blue course for the West Point A-meet.

After a nice lunch in Highland Falls with Becky and Ali, drove over to Kanawaukee Circle, relaxed in the sun for a while and waited for the cavalry to arrive. We were joined by z-man, Kseniya, and Greg, and then Ross, whose release from the junior training camp for a couple of hours was my reward for driving to Worcester and back. :)
We first did a control pick on Hogencamp, which I really enjoyed. Was very jittery in the beginning - a lot of starting and stopping and no flow, but orienteered better towards the end, forcing myself to look at the map first and make plans before running off. Orienteering in Harriman is such a pleasure, especially on a nice, sunny day like this!

Final session of the day was a pairs memory exercise on Pole Brook that Becky planned. I ran this with Greg, taking turns memorizing legs and saying out loud what we planned while running. Really great training, forces you to form a detailed mental picture of each leg. Greg was very impressive, including remembering details in the circle extremely well. The old goat's still got it.
After the training, a great dinner and nice evening at Sergei and Kseniya's. All in all, an excellent day.

Cross-Training 40:00 [3]
More sweating on the stair machine at PWG. Lots of stretching afterwards. Shin feels fine, but still swells a bit after exercises, so I am being careful to not push it to the painful stage.

First, an easy run with Becky, Kat, Mike, and Marie at West Rock. The highlight was definitely when Mike and I saw a bird dive-bomb into a stream and emerge with a large fish in its mouth. Definitely AOWN!
Then, a short hill bounding session with Becky. Nice.

Evening run with Kat at East Rock. Shin didn't hurt. Nice.

Cross-Training 40:00 [3]
Wanted to give the shin a break, so did the stair machine at PWG. Not that much fun, but slightly better than the stationary bikes and seemed to get my hear rate reasonably high.
