 | Cycling (mtb road) 2:43:11 [1]* 25.0 mi (6:31 / mi) +610m 3:46 / km | |
| ahr:108 max:149 14c slept:7.0 shoes: Nike ACG cycling shoes |
| Gig Harbor Street Scramble vetting on bike. I vetted about half the controls (so far) and most of the course distance. The logged distance of 25 miles is a guess. I'll have to check my odometer later.
My left calf may have twinged a few times but mostly felt okay. By the end, my right hamstring had a mild, recurring spasm, so I guess the ride was a bit much, considering the little biking I've done lately and yesterday's race.
It was clear or lightly overcast and very cold, and my fingers kept going numb when I rode from one control to the next, then they would thaw out while I vetted and made map corrections. |

| Hmm, I didn't end up doing much actual running this week. I'll have to work on that. |

| Cycling race (mtb orienteering) 47:55 [2]*** 5.9 mi (8:07 / mi) +125m 4:44 / km | |

| Mountain bike orienteering at Cascade OC's annual Bog Slog meet at St. Edward State Park. I pre-rode/vetted the course. My riding was a little rusty and a bit too timid for a really good performance. Also, my brain seemed a bit foggy, especially early on, so I took my time reading the map, so as not to make any significant errors. I placed second to Glenn Rogers (46:37). |
| Orienteering race 32:45 [3]*** 4.5 km (7:17 / km) +135m 6:20 / km | |
| ahr:160 max:172 11c shoes: VJ Twister (US size 10.5) - 2 |
| Bog Slog run on course (#3), after a 3-minute transition from biking. My left calf bothered me some. I was able to run pretty fast, but only for about 30-60 seconds at a time. One control was slightly off, so I moved it, since I was the pre-runner/vetter; that added 1.5-2 minutes to my time. |
| Orienteering (control pick-up) 26:00 [2]*** 2.89 km (9:00 / km) +68m 8:03 / km | |
| ahr:127 max:151 shoes: Brooks Trance 5 - 1 |
| Control pick-up after Bog Slog. Oddly, my left calf barely bothered me at all. |

Thursday Dec 28 |
| Roller-skating (inline skating) 35:21 [2] 6.43 mi (5:29 / mi) +37m 3:21 / km | |
| ahr:133 max:161 shoes: K2 VO2max inline skates |
| Skated around Magnuson and a bit on the BGT. My quads fatigued easily. |
| Running - Road / Track (road) 1:02:50 [2] 8.68 mi (7:14 / mi) +115m 4:19 / km | |
| ahr:147 max:158 shoes: Brooks Trance 5 - 1 |
| Ran from the office, to UW via the BGT, then back via Laurelhurst--the old Laurelhurst run route from the Husky Orienteering and Running Club days. My route. I returned to the office via Sand Point Way. My left calf hurt some during the second half of the run. |
Tuesday Dec 26 |
| X-C Skiing (mostly classical) 1:15:00 [2]** 5.2 mi (14:25 / mi) +270m 7:43 / km | |
| ahr:133 max:155 4c slept:3.3 shoes: Merrel XC ski boots |
| Skiing while AR course scouting in the Snoqualmie Pass area with Roger. The snow was deep, soft and heavy, so the going was slow. Also, I didn't have any maxi-glide (or whatever the stuff for waxless skis is called), so snow caked on the bottom of my skis, and most of the skiing was essentially walking. The tendons on the lower inside of my left knee hurt, probably from the lateral rolling of my ankle and lower leg, due to the soft, deep snow. |
| Walking (snowshoeing) 2:10:00 [2]** 4.9 mi (26:31 / mi) +240m 14:18 / km | |
| ahr:133 max:158 4c shoes: Montrail Stratos XCR boot |
| Course scouting on snowshoe with Roger in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The soft snow conditions and Roger's small snowshoes that I was using made for very slow going. Uphills were extremely tough, since we sank 1-2 feet with each step, so going uphill sometimes required stepping up about 3 feet. |

| Running - Road / Track (road) 36:02 [2] 4.94 mi (7:17 / mi) +5m 4:31 / km | |
| ahr:138 max:150 shoes: Brooks Trance 5 - 1 |
| Ran from Roger and Yumay's to the Sammamish River Trail, back and forth on the trail for 4 miles, then back. My hamstrings and (especially) calves were a bit tight and/or sore, I suppose from Saturday, but I otherwise felt okay. |
