 | Orienteering 39:28 [3]**** 5.41 km (7:18 / km) | |
| spiked:9/11c shoes: sarva |
| NEOC Mashamoquet; green. Nice day for orienteering; cloudy, 57F, occasional sprinkles but not enough to make the understory wet. Lost concentration after passing Jon Campbell near control 4 and forgot to attack 5 properly; up to the road to relocate. Temporary inability to navigate - wide right on the road to 6, then all over the place in the circle. Running fast though. Probably 2:30 at 5 and 1:30 at 6. |
| Orienteering 32:05 [4]*** 5.41 km (5:56 / km) | |
| spiked:11/11c shoes: sarva |
| Rerun of the same course, just touching the flags. Pushing quite hard... a mixture of navigating and memory (navigating where I screwed up, even slightly, before - hard to avoid memory elsewhere). |
| Orienteering 42:00 [3]*** 3.5 km (12:00 / km) | |
| spiked:6/6c shoes: sarva |
| shadowing Brendan around a made up course. he orienteers quite well, he just needs to run faster (and have a bit more confidence in his navigation).
also includes some jogging to and from the start. |

| Running 37:40 [3]5.45 mi (6:55 / mi) | |
| shoes: engelbert humperdinck |
| davis - fells - sheepfold (via the mtb trail to check out some other parts of it, then the orange trail). felt sluggish. |
| Orienteering 42:14 [3]*** 5.6 km (7:33 / km) +150m 6:39 / km | |
| spiked:12/14c shoes: sarva |
| csu pine hill 'advanced'. nice course by jon campbell, although there was an odd trail run for 1.5km from control 1 to control 3. after that it got more interesting, and he seemed to manage to avoid most of the crap so that the forest seemed quite fun. or maybe it's just that I know to treat the green with respect so I avoided most of it. no real feeling of flow, though. pine hill at speed can be quite technical - lots of rock, green and trails, none of which are 100% perfectly mapped (more like 98%) and lots of vegetation forcing you off line. and dark green waiting if you lose concentration. so i felt like i was concentrating too often on where i was, rather than 200m ahead, which is the feeling one has on a better day. but felt physically full of energy (not sluggish).
57F, cloudy, still. |
| Running 35:46 [3]5.17 mi (6:55 / mi) | |
| shoes: engelbert humperdinck |
| back to Davis, slightly more efficiently (cutting out the mtb loop section from before). felt sluggish from the beginning again. orienteering is much more fun than running... |

Wednesday May 18 |
| Running 1:07:45 [3]9.91 mi (6:50 / mi) | |
| shoes: engelbert humperdinck |
| home - BU bridge - Comm Ave - Brighton Ave - North Beacon - north bank to Bridge St - new trail along the south bank and over a new footbridge to the north bank - back to the south at North St - then Newton St to Main St and then Lyman St to Stonehurst. Cool, great running weather: 49F, damp after an earlier rain shower.
The new section of trail, bypassing the only untrailed section between the Science Museum and Waltham Center, is really cool. Mostly wide gravel, with some short boardwalk sections, and a new footbridge across the Charles. Definitely the nicest section of path on the river now. |
| Orienteering 15:47 [4]*** 2.85 km (5:32 / km) +54m 5:04 / km | |
| spiked:8/10c shoes: sarva |
| Park-O, Stonehurst. Felt good, lots of flow, and the only mistakes were 10 seconds to the right in an area where the map was imperfect (number 5) and 10 seconds standing still within 10 meters of no. 8 without seeing it. Nice course by Sanna, doing a great job to steer clear of the poison ivy. |
