Note
Benny's 11th birthday. I miss him.
We had our neighbors come over to play some board games at 1pm and we played games for 4 and a half hours. All that socialization completely drained me and I didn't do anything for the rest of the day. In the morning we cleaned up the entire downstairs and in the afternoon we were just socializing. I was already kinda tired to begin with, I'm not sure why, but the socialization surely didn't help.

Biking 1:12:14 20.9 km (3:27 / km) +264m 3:15 / km
ahr:145 max:182
on my mountain bike but on roads with my dad, we were trying out a new loop. I could feel my thighs weren't having it today because of the long day yesterday
Friday May 28, 2021 #
11 AM
Running long (road) 49:47 7.0 km (7:07 / km) +81m 6:43 / km
ahr:170 max:200
woooo long run cuz I felt like it- i ran on what's probably the loop with the least possible elevation around my dad's. My "goal" was to finish in under 50 minutes so I had time to jump in the pool afterwards and still make it to class, so I'm pretty glad that I made it. For some reason my arms are sore from this... i mean my legs are too, but my arms feel somewhat weaker, which is strange, but oh well

On my mountain bike, but on a road. Biked with my dad since it's way too hot to run today. We ended up being in the pool for like an hour after this.

Running (road) 36:39 5.25 km (6:59 / km) +50m 6:40 / km
ahr:161 max:182
Decided to move my longer run to today instead of doing it tomorrow since it's supposed to get really hot tomorrow. I tried doing the slower breathing pattern but after about 2km I started kind of dying and decided to revert back to my normal breathing pattern. Gotta say, jumping into the pool right after the run was nice though.
9 PM
Note
accidentally overdid it a bit with the training today, cuz I didn't have enough energy left for homework. whoops. Thankfully tomorrow's an asynchronous day so I can catch up then (hopefully)

Running 26:22 3.26 km (8:05 / km) +39m 7:38 / km
ahr:157 max:185
It was really nice that it was a bit colder and it was raining, really. Just the trail was a bit muddy so I had to be more careful on the downhills.
I tried a different, slower breathing pattern which seemed to work really well (well, going up hills I reverted to my usual, quicker breathing pattern of course).

Note
I feel bad about not going on a run but I'm feeling pretty crap today, I've got an annoying cough, probably from overexerting myself and the fact that the AC vent is right above my bed, and the headache isn't great either. Besides, I'm going on a hike tomorrow which is hopefully a good enough replacement. I'll try to do some core later to at least to something today. I need to be alright for the weekend cuz I'm going on a hike tomorrow and then on Sunday I'm going canoeing, so that would be pretty bad to be sick during, so I'm hoping I'll feel better tomorrow.

first time I realized how much I use my arms when biking, i probably did a bit too many pushups and the whole way back my arms were giving up on me haha
also I feel kinda guilty about not running today, but I'll just go on a run tomorrow, since I still didn't feel too great yet, but I felt good enough to do a bit of a workout (just yknow, not running yet)

Note
got the second dose of my vaccine yesterday. I woke up at 4 am with tons of chills, then took me a while to fall asleep again. Then when I woke up in the morning I could barely move and basically all day I was falling asleep here and there and wasn't really able to do anything. Even going to the bathroom was rough because every time I got up to walk I would get really dizzy and nauseous as if I was going to pass out, so that was fun. So yeah, no training today.

Orienteering 1:46:41 *** 7.95 km (13:25 / km) +250m 11:36 / km
ahr:123 max:160 13c
I had a bit of a rough start, I messed up 3 pretty bad and I was super hesitant when going down the hill towards 5 because I got a bit confused. Then I was pretty clean until 12, which I messed up a good amount because starting to go down the hill towards the control I saw a group of 4 boys coming out from the green, so I figured the control is right in front of me so I started refolding my map and looking how I'll go for the rest of the course as I kept on going, and then when I looked up I realized that I didn't pass the control yet but I don't see it. Eventually I found that I was in the little thin reentrant to the right of the control which I originally thought was the ditch where 12 was.

I wish I could've pushed more, but the hills seriously killed me, especially in the second half. I made two mistakes I'm frustrated by, but other than that I just hesitated a lot and was a little confused occasionally, and mostly I was just slow. But hey, I completed my first ever blue course and since that wasn't enough it was a race, too-
I messed up the first control the most I think. I went down one spur too early because I passed by a reentrant that I thought was the one I was looking for, and I didn't check my compass to make sure because I didn't think any other reentrants would be prominent enough around. That was stupid because this is Fountainhead after all. I even thought the reentrant was smaller than I expected- well no wonder cuz it wasn't the one I was looking for.
Then I messed up the 7th control a bit. I shot off too much to the east- almost as if I was heading straight for #8. When I crossed the trail and saw that there was a forked reentrant I knew something was up, and I corrected my mistake. I don't think I lost a ton of time there, but it just frustrates me that it was such a pointless mistake.
I went through so many stages of fatigue during the course it was surprising- but I was so focused on navigating that I ignored them for the most part, I was just slower up the hills. First, around the 5th control, I started getting cramps in my lower abdomen, so that was fun. By 10 they went away, thankfully. Then, after 16 I started feeling pretty chilly and my nose was running a ton, and being soaked in sweat didn't help for sure. Then between 19 and 20, when I got up to the trail and tried to run, my legs nearly buckled under me so that was fun. Finally, into the finish going up the last hill, I had a massive urge to throw up (which I'm not surprised, I typically do when it comes to finishing races) but I forced myself to hold off at least until I finished (I was fine in the finish though- I think my body was relieved that I was done)
But other than that I had a great time out there. It was good that I didn't get to look at the map beforehand I think because if I had, I would've dreaded it even more. This way, I was just looking at the course leg by leg so it wasn't as mentally draining to see that the course is so long.
I really enjoyed these races. Even though I don't have a chance to get on the team, I really enjoyed running multiple days in a row and competing for the first time since Georgia Navigator Cup 2020. It's been a while, and it was really fun. The courses were also all super fun- they were technical, but I loved the challenge. Even though I'm not the happiest with my performance, even with the running set aside, I still had fun and got to learn from my mistakes. The difficulty of the courses really made it super fun, I absolutely loved the challenge.

ahr:117 max:159
Orienteering race (Team Trial- Middle) 1:16:29 **** 6.35 km (12:03 / km) +51m 11:35 / km
ahr:157 max:194 13c
I had a decent time, but I could've done better. A lot better. I feel like I've lost up to 10 minutes in navigational mistakes alone. Attackpoint says I only lost 4 minutes, but I think there's a lot more than that.
I did pretty well running-wise. I ran whenever the vegetation let me, and I almost tripped like 1000 times but i came back with both legs intact so that's a plus. I probably could've run harder, but most of the spots where I feel I slowed down too much I was a bit lost so I'm alright with the slowing down part.
At the start I got distracted and I didn't expect the timer to go off and with the air I punched the start before I expected to so I panicked a bit and I couldn't make a plan, I just shot off as a flight response I guess, and I couldn't tell which of the streams was the one that I wanted to follow towards the control, so I ended up going to the hillside and following it, but I was afraid I passed by the control similar like yesterday on the second control, so I went back but I saw a little stream end so I knew I wasn't nearly far enough, which was frustrating. Then I got the control no problem.
I was slow in attacking the 4th control, so I lost a bit of time there. Honestly I can't really remember the specifics of that leg. I completely messed up the 5th control, I bassed by just south of it and hit the streams behind it where I realized my mistake and I found out where approximately I was and how to get to my control. Then for 6 I hit the hilltop northeast of it and thought it was the one directly east of the control, so I went east and was confused, so when I was on my way returning to the NE hilltop I looked to my left and thankfully saw the control.
Then I nailed 7 and 8, I did well on 9, and I slightly messed up 10- I probably lost a minute there. I hit different boulders than I thought I was hitting, but soon I noticed I was at the boulder grouping east of 10, so I hit the control no problem. I then nailed 11 and 12 (I saw 12 after taking 5 steps out from 11 so that was pretty refreshing).
For 13 I regret not following the stream into the control, instead I cut through the green and slowed down. I could've at least gone past the green from the left a bit more, it would've definitely been faster.
Then the finish leg was fun :) I was glad I could just sprint on the trail, it was so nice after all that green.
Overall it was a great course, and once I got into the map I think I did well. I'm just frustrated it took me so long to get into the map and that I just threw away my whole warmup in the last minute before my start, but that's a mistake I can learn from.
Hopefully I don't die tomorrow- it'll be my first blue course ever and it's in fountainhead of all places... Even though I ran my first green course in that same park a few years ago and did pretty well, it's still a bit worrying because there's a pretty significant difference between a green and a blue course. But I can just bring my best and do what I know how to do best: navigate and keep on going. Hopefully I'll take less than 3 hours haha

Orienteering race (Team Trial- Sprint) 30:21 *** 3.87 km (7:51 / km) +44m 7:25 / km
ahr:162 max:195 19c
I made one sizable mistake on #2 (I went too low and missed the control) and a moderate mistake on #10 (I mixed up the small and big ponds but I noticed at the trails that I was close to missing it, so I just did a bit of an arc rather than a straight line but oh well) and #8 (I wasn't sure where the control was, I thought it was going to be closer than it ended up being).
I made at least two small mistakes I could think of that cost me a few seconds each, but if I fix my running, then I can worry about the seconds. I was beat by 4 minutes, so a few seconds won't hurt. #2, 10, and 8 frustrate me the most.
I was fairly disappointed with my running, but at least I ran better than I did on monday. Still, I was frustrated at being so slow and at the fact I was dying so much, especially towards the end. I really need to improve my training, but along with school it's like I don't have enough energy for both- it's one or the other, and training is more fun but school is technically more important so I end up not doing anything because everything ends up being too overwhelming. I feel like I should know how to balance the two by now, but apparently I don't.

kinda same today- just in the evening we went to a friends' house, so I got to see Chevy again and we went on ~3.5km walk with him, but I forgot to measure it so idk how long it took. But I'm glad I got to see Chevy again, even though I was pretty done with the socializing.

Rock climbing (Earth Treks Rockville) 40:00 [3]
First time I went climbing in a while. Still hate the harness just as much, but I climbed pretty okay. We top roped for the night cuz we didn't feel like dealing with the rope for leading.
5.10a- warmup
5.11b- got 2/3 up, figured why not
5.8- I wanted to climb an 11b but I couldn't so I just switched to the 8 next to it.

who thought it would be a good idea to make it so hot outseide
honetsly if I didn't have water with me I would've just died in the middle of the course- even so I was thinking towards the end if I'm in the woods for just another 15 minutes I might just end up drinking from the stream cuz I just ran out of water.
I think I did fairly well navigationally- I only made one mistake I know I could've easily avoided. I wanted to practice navigating to the feature rather than looking for the control flag, but it felt like the control flags were all placed too high and I always saw them what felt like way too early. But other htan that, this course was super fun, Ken Walker did an amazing job on the coursesetting. I was worried about this meet because I knew this park was green, but the courses were made so well that I barely even noticed the green and the hills didn't feel like death; I actually ran a lot in the first ~6km of the course (basically the length of a green course, since that's what I got used to recently). I think my route choices were fairly good other than that.
