 | Shooting 2:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| the race was not that well organized and the range was not set up until almost 9:00 so given very little time to practice shooting before and no paper targets could be hung, so could not zero which ended up being costly in the race. practice on the medal targets and the race started almost 20 mins late.
After the race the range was left open this time put up paper targets and so my sights needed to be adjusted before the race. I was grouping to the right and if I had moved it probably would have shot better. got in lots of practice which was very helpful..Adjusted my sights and shot really well. |
| Running 28:14 [4]3.0 mi (9:24 / mi) +240m 4:41 / km | |
| |
| biathlon with one mile run shoot one mile run and shoot and end with one mile run. I think the one mile was long, but had a fair amount of climb. Shot four prone and one off hand. My husband watched me shoot and said I hit all five prone and two off hand since each time one of the targets went down and came up again like I never hit it. Neither judge saw this happen so it did not count ran 100 yard penalty loops so had two extra to run. Still broke the course record. race started 20 mins late given an early start time so this helped. |
| Running warm up/down 30:00 [1]2.5 mi (11:59 / mi) | |
| |
| ran with someone else who knew the course so went really slow just wanted to see where it went. |
Friday Jul 27 |
| Shooting 15:00 [1] | |

| practiced dry shooting. traveled to the race so no time for other training had to work part of the day since leave is in real short supply. |
Thursday Jul 26 |
| Running 57:00 [1]7.0 mi (8:09 / mi) | |

| Shooting 10:00 [1] | |
| |

Wednesday Jul 25 |
| Shooting 1:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Had the range to myself. Shot 170 rounds. Only shot 30 rounds prone and worked on standing the rest of the time. All my prone shots were well grouped so the off hand needed more attention. Starting to get hungry so my shooting started to fade, but at the end managed to get 20 rounds close enough that I think at 50 m the target would go. |
| Bike riding 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Warm up my legs before lifting etc. |
| Weightlifting 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Lots of lifting focusing on my shoulders and legs. Did core work later on my own. Did some plyos that can only help since I am still not exactly the most coordinated person. This can only help with the shooting and the running since my balance is improving yet has a long way to go. My legs gained some strength since we revisited some lifts and could add some weight. Wanted to run also just needed to food shop and a massage. Had to clean my gun also. Wanted to dry fire just that is it for the day. |
Tuesday Jul 24 |
| Running 34:00 [1]4.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran to the gas station to pick up my car. First run of the day. Set up my targets in the house to work on the dry firing. |
| Running tempo 30:00 [1]3.5 mi (8:34 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran really slow to the track and back. Once I came over the hill realized I was on my own for the track workout. |
| Running intervals 28:00 [4]3.75 mi (7:27 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran 4 X 1200 with 400 recovery. Took the recovery slow. Not the best times since I was alone after being in competitions certainily makes a big difference chasing, or running with someone. Times 440, 438, 435, 438. With all of the running in Maine think I wll be faster if I run with someone hopefully some of the regulars will return next week. |

Monday Jul 23 |
| Shooting 1:20:00 [1] | |
| |
| Shot 120 rounds. improved over yesterday. Spent a lot of time on the prone since I think I can get these targets eventhough it is much smaller only 45 mm at 50 meters versus off hand of 115 mm. Plan to race again on Saturday to focus in on the shooting. Had to focus more since the man shooting a couple of lanes over had his brass bouncing off the wall and into my face once in a while. |
Sunday Jul 22 |
| Shooting 1:20:00 [1] | |
| |
| Incorporated what I learned in clinic yesterday into practice and WOW! it made a difference. Much better groups and more consistent plus it was easier on my arms. With practice this should get much better. |
