Event: WCOC Pond Mountain Meet
11 AM
Orienteering 1:01:37 7.24 km (8:31 / km) +276m 7:09 / km
ahr:175 max:187
Oh, so this is why I do it! George planned a great course with lots of direction changes at Pond Mountain. Thought a bit more about planning and APs, and only made a couple of small (but not really forgivable) errors. Physically okay - downhill and flat felt good but I was feeling a tight lower back from the Cross Fit up the hill to 7, that was a real slog. Better after that. Fun!

Running 23:03 4.39 km (5:15 / km) +29m 5:05 / km
ahr:158 max:177 shoes: Darth Vader sauconys
23 mins with half a mile pace thrown in. Just missed the pace, not because it was too hard but because I have no idea what it feels like yet. Will try again on Sunday. Dark out this morning, will be glad to regain a little more light briefly from this weekend.
4 PM
Cross Fit 1:04:57
ahr:110 max:173
Nice Friday afternoon WOD. 5RM of deadlifts, 5RM of push presses (didn't really go crazy on either, want to run tomorrow), then a mini pairs workout of 5 clean & jerks, 10 press ups, 100m row, 3 times each, you rest while your partner does theirs. Rob and I got through in 8.06, used 55#, which was probably a bit light.

Little jaunt round the neighbourhood after a stroll around Lake Wintergreen with the parents. A lot of storm damage there, many trees down over the trail by the car park. Nice to get out after feeling crappy all day - the lab was stupid hot again this morning.

Ran home much later than I expected and it was way way too dark. The lights are still out on large sections of Whitney so I am calling this proprioception training. It was a bit scary in places. Now Mike is round and we're being assailed by an absolute truckload of tiny things dressed adorably. So far none of them have been the dustbin carrying teenagers I passed in East Rock, so that is good!

Note
All fine here, but when we walked to Walmart the power went out across the Plaza. Someone I went to school with just posted an enormous rant about how awful American Airlines are because they took over an hour to answer her query about a reference number today, then accidentally cut her off. I said that perhaps she would like to cut them some slack, given what they're coping with right now, to which she posted another torrent of abuse. I responded with this:

I hope she shuts up now. There's no helping some people. Perhaps time to de"friend."
I'm also thinking it may be better for my parents to try to fly back from Boston rather than NYC at the end of the week.

Warm up with running drills then 4 sets of 5 heavy DB thrusters (20#), 12 box jumps, rest 60 seconds, 5 thrusters, 12 pull ups (plenty of bands!) rest 60 seconds, 5 thrusters, run 200m, rest 4 mins. All done in 31.31. The running parts were fun. I still suck at pull ups.

Muah ha ha, take that Sandy! After about three hours of going "it's not that bad, I could have gone running," I decided just to go running, and it was fine. No worse than a Scottish winter (and a lot warmer) out there. Yet. I am very sure it's going to get worse. Lots of people put their rubbish out this morning and left it, so we're going to be picking that up on Wednesday. A few sandbags on sunken garages, but not many other signs.
8 PM

ahr:138 max:155
Hurricane Home WOD. For time: 50 squats with 20 mountain climbers every minute, 50 sit ups with 5 squat thrusts every minute, 50 press ups with 20 flutter kicks every minute. Easy till the sit ups. 7.59. Some planks beforehand.

Hanging the path based controls this morning. Tired.
1 PM
Orienteering 44:14 [2] 4.44 km (9:58 / km) +174m 8:20 / km
Collecting a few woods based controls. Took some fun straight routes and it was much more interesting. Tired now. Thanks to Mum and Dad, Rick and Susie, and George and Lynn for collecting in and helping run things in the ever increasing wind, letting me get back home early. The car is in the garage, the storm windows are down, torches in appropriate places. Take care everyone! Can't believe a hurricane is going to get in the way of my slow path to consistent running...
