Event: CascadeOC Winter Series / WIOL #6

running warm up/down 14:37 [2] 2.6 km (5:37 / km)
shoes: inov8 x talon 212

Forgot micro-o maps, forgot dynamics, forgot strides

orienteering race 33:18 [3] 4.2 km (7:56 / km)
shoes: inov8 x talon 212

Focus: starting slow, getting into the map, focusing on my own race, not others. Don't think starting slow helps in western WA.

Struggled in places with precise map reading, off trail distance estimation, and direction of contours.
Lost 2:30 on 4, I did it in 8:03, but I think I could have done it in 4:40 based on gps. Vegetation was vague but I needed a clear attackpoint because of it. Hesitation on entry to 1, lost 30+ seconds on 8 looking for the flag and not the feature (it was just low and couldn't see it, stupid mistake). Also just generally ran slow.
Mental prep needs work, I was teaching my teammate compass and ran out of time for dynamics, strides, visualization, focusing. Next meet goals: push harder physically, leave time for mental prep before race, decide when to put the map down and run and when to slow down and read.

Kai started 2 min behind me, saw him at 3 so I think he took the better route to 1 (and also ran faster). We ran together until 8 where he took the better east route, then followed him till 9 where he again took the better exit to the powerline. Ran the rest alone, mostly good except I punched 128 before 129 (#12) and was too far south on 13. Lots of hesitation today. Not sure how to be more confident of where I am.

Lindbergh with team, first time I've done this run. Looonnngg hill in the beginning, definitely a grind but I kind of dug the run. I've noticed that my mood definitely improves running with people versus alone.

Note

Plan for this week: 54-56 miles, core 3x, 4x1000 on Wednesday, orienteering race Saturday

conditioning (core) 15:00 [1]

experimenting with diff core routines, today focused on hips

New trail along Lake Washington Blvd! Flat, good for tempos. Stomach was meh. I've decided my 400m training paces for the 800, 1600, and 3200 will be 72, 80, and 84 respectively.

Had my dad make me a course compassing to points. First part were short and each feature was visible from the previous, then there were soccer games going on which interfered, had 4 good actual compass legs on the east side of the pond. Nevertheless learned that when taking a bearing I tend to look up and pick out the most conspicuous feature that is kind of in the line rather than a feature that is directly in the line.
