Thursday May 23 |
| Running 31:36 [3]4.51 mi (7:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Run by the river to get legs moving. I really couldn't get into a good rhythm and felt like i was struggling the entire time. I think i was dehydrated... |

Monday May 20 |
| Note | |
| |
| No more big races in the near future. I think that i will take a break now, not doing much volume through graduation (June 6) and will begin summer training in New York after that, with World University Championships/ CSU Classic Champs in August as the goal to peak for.
Things to work on:
1. Sticking with a route choice and not wasting time thinking over it after it's been chosen on long legs.
2. Slowing down in control circle. (especially a problem after several good legs in a row)
3. Hill climbing - i haven't done any uphill reps all spring, and it shows.
4. Maintaining speed after 75 minutes. That seems to be when i drastically slow down....
I am sure there are more things that i am missing, but these are the ones that come to mind after this week-end. |

| Orienteering 1:32:26 [4]10.2 km (9:04 / km) | |
| |
| Day 2 of DVOA A-Meet. Started out feeling sluggish and stayed that way throughout the race. Made a few errors and was hesitant throughout. Not happy with the race. I am still unable to put together two good races in a row, something i thought i was capable of throughout all of last fall... |

| Long, easy warm-up for the US Short Course Champs, plus a few sprints. |
| Orienteering 35:31 [5]4.6 km (7:43 / km) | |
| |
| US Short Course Champs. One of my best short course runs ever (i traditionally do very badly at these - run too fast and mess up bigtime). Did make one big mistake (1:45) and two smaller ones (1:00 and 0:45). Still, felt pretty good and satisfied with 5th overall and 4th US. Still, would have been nice to get Joe. :)
Nice run by Kenny!! |

| Harvard bridge loop. Very warm, very windy - a strange combination around here...
I am finally starting to look at summer O-plans. I think i will do everything possible to have time and money to go to Bulgaria for the World Student O-Champs in August. It looks like a very fun event, and will also be the CSU Classic Champs - the year's marquee event!! |

| Warming up for the Park-O at Hammond Pond. |
| Orienteering 23:54 [4]3.25 km (7:21 / km) | |
| |
| Hammond Pond Park-O, also the inaugural CSU Sprint-O Champs. Kenny won with a blistering time of 21:21. I made three 45-second errors, including one on the last control which cost me second place. Oh well, 3rd in this company isn't bad. Lots of fun, great course, nice weather, good woods! Thanks Audun!! |
| Orienteering 37:00 [2]4 km (9:15 / km) | |
| |
| Jogging around Hammon Pond with Matthias, William, Kenny, and picking up controls and trying not to pass Abi in the process (we didn't, though we did get to watch her ditch a large chasing dog...) Matthias goes back to Austria tomorrow. Sad. I guess i'll have to go to Bulgaria now to compete for the CSU Classic Champs. |
