Warmup 1:30 [1] 0.0 km

Some stretching. A tight tape this time, again.

Orienteering 1:54:54 [4] 16.0 km (7:11 / km)

The 5th Susquehanna Stumble (Long). Felt the redeye throughout (HR was too high for the perceived pace, and some back sensations, but the concentration and alertness were near-perfect). Was going to keep even pace for the two loops, in which I somewhat succeeded (7:37/7:58), passing 1 (one) on the second loop.

Easy running 8:37 [1] 1.4 km (6:09 / km)

Thursday Mar 28, 2002 #

Easy running 14:27 [1] 2.5 km (5:47 / km)

Easy running 10:53 [2] 2.1 km (5:11 / km)

Easy running 10:54 [2] 2.0 km (5:27 / km)

Warmup 1:30 [1] 0.1 km (15:00 / km)

Stretched for a minite, and spent some time figuring out the treadmill.

Long intervals 3:57 [5] 1.2 km (3:17 / km)

Checked out treadmill intervals (one 1200 interval, actually). The machine took forever to servo the speed setpoint up to 11.5 mph in the beginning, so I'm not entirely sure it gave the right distance. And the calibration accuracy is unknown. Felt sort of right, though, 83 80 74, or so. The goal was to see how the tendon feels. I felt it for about a minute during what would have been lap 2.
With the aforementioned time constant, I'm not sure if these health club treadmills would be useful for any short intervals, but I'd do a 3k or a 5k on it.

Cycling 20:00 [3] 0.0 mi

AP = 212 W, AHR = 158.

Wednesday Mar 27, 2002 #

Easy running 14:57 [1] 2.5 km (5:59 / km)

Easy running 12:19 [1] 2.1 km (5:52 / km)

Cycling 50:00 [3] 0.0 km

AP = 210 W, AHR = 149.

Tuesday Mar 26, 2002 #

Easy running 15:42 [2] 2.9 km (5:25 / km)

Note

Looked at 2-year old Raven Rock splits and now I don't feel that bad. There were only two legs (Sat 5-6 and Sun S-1) for two days on Blue this year that were long-ish and sort of runnable, 7:40/km. All other trail runs this year were wide detours with slow approaches.

Note

Shall we dust off the maps?
Or has illusion transformed us?
Ceilings aren't high, top floor.
Breathe carefully, begin to climb.
Did you never think you'd open your eyes up
to find the pieces in place?
Don't you know when you look hard enough
you will find, the pieces in place.
Shall we dust off the maps?
Describe the performace?
Or shall we move on?
Did you never think you'd open your eyes up
to find the pieces in place?

Sunday Mar 24, 2002 #

Warmup 7:40 [1] 1.3 km (5:54 / km)

One minute of stretching on the starting line. Thought I got the taping right this time; Saturday's job was too liberal, with today's one I don't get a chance to strain the tendon to the point of any pain.

Orienteering 1:25:22 [4] 9.7 km (8:48 / km)

Raven Rock A-meet, Day 2. Blue. At 95% intensity or more. Navigation was a bit worse than on Saturday, but the vegetation is such a lottery that running speed advantage is pretty much gone here.
Congrats to Randy for winning (first one?)
The tendon was not felt at any point.

Note

Iced the tendon, but probably waited too long (a couple hours?) after the run. Before getting on the plane in RDU, sharp pain. $*. Went through 3 cups of ice on the flight to PHX, stuffing the cubes down the sneaker. Will see how it goes.
Collected two WN bump vouchers for the trip.
