 | Orienteering race (WIOL) 43:17 [4] *** 4.1 km (10:33 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Priest Pt Park- started out without a warm-up (arrived 5 min before start time). The course was basically all on trails, and I got so bored I ran down into the tide flats (which was really stupid, but a heck of a lot more interesting).
Overall, not my best race... |
Thursday Jan 17 |
| Trail Running (Wildwood) 21:38 [4] 4.5 km (4:48 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| The same logging trail as yesterday, plus a little extra. I had to cut the run short, though- my plantars are hurting. I'll change the soles out tonight; we'll see if that helps. |
Wednesday Jan 16 |
| Orienteering (Wildwood) 25:00 [2] ** 2 km (12:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Following the younglings around on a little course Rick set up for Wednesday-O. |
| Trail Running (Wildwood) 28:00 [3] 4 km (7:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| I thought the younglings needed a real workout (and I certainly did) so I led them out through one of the logging roads for a jog. They kept up better than I was expecting, which was good, but we still had to wait up occasionally. It grew very dark rather quickly. |
Tuesday Jan 15 |
| Trail Running intervals (Wildwood) 30:30 [4] 6.4 km (4:46 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Intervals: fast around the swamp loop, jog the rest. 8 laps.
There was 0-1.5 inches of snow on the ground (depending on proximity to trees), which made traction a little tricky, especially on the hills. I watched the sun set hot pink over the trees as I ran, and then it was dark. I kept running into low-hanging trees and branches and dropping snow on my head. |
Monday Jan 14 |
| Trail Running 13:35 [1] 2.4 km (5:40 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| It's snowing- the first real snow this year. Mostly it was cold and wet, but it was also kind of fun. Additionally, it was soon dark, so I had to come in after only a short run. |
Sunday Jan 13 |
| Capture the Flag intervals 2:00:00 [4] 16 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
