| Played a game of "pickup the litter" - and it seems to have had an effect, the final mile was harder than normal. (Trash pickup today, so I don't have to carry it long)
Got me thinking - Orienteering is not like track, road or trail racing in that we are frequently stopping, doing something other than running, and starting again. You can't just get in a running zone.
So - we ought to practice starting and stopping during a run;-)
I believe I've seen Hockey players practice with wind sprints and turns - they have a much shorter distance to cover, but the practice is similar to game conditions.
I know my fatigue was higher today trying to slow, bend over and accelerate again.
Wondering if a stop every 400 meters with a simulated punch and restart would be good... |

| With a scheduled, but not-quite-fully remembered car service appointment, I was needing to get downtown today without personal transportation. Found the bus route goes down creek - about a 1 mile walk. Dropped me off at main and exchange - about 4 blocks from where I needed to be. Return trip required a walk to midtown, but set me off a bit closer to Embury.
Realize how much we subsidize the bus - 4 people on the way in, 12 on the way out. (admittedly non-rush traffic, but still not so very many..) |

| Good but apparently not great run;-) See that I went too close to the pavilion (West) of 3, but it didn't look that open to me (took the trail down. Otherwise good route choices. Guess I need a little more speed and strength - found I was slowing down too many times up some of the hills.
Can't say that I was "attacking" much either - that's gotta be a confidence thing, going too tentative. (wasn't too tired afterwards, so must not have fully exerted myself)
Compared to others, I did this first, most of them did it after an orance 5.5km run... |

| Walked the yellow course with my sister and niece - first day out, and they had just completed the white course on their own. They picked up a couple permanent courses, so I may have hooked them;-) |
