Chase - Splits

Note

After I got totally $#!+faced last night, all my irritability went away. Sausage and eggs upon a hangover = happy.

Event: Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
 

Note

More mentally stable today.

Easy running 22:46 [2] 3.97 km (5:44 / km) +66m 5:18 / km
ahr:142 max:165 shoes: New Nikes

Warmed up while running to Kezar Stadium.

Medium pace running tempo (Threshold intervals) 21:55 [3] 5.4 km (4:04 / km)
ahr:165 max:178 shoes: New Nikes

Ran some maintenance—3×(1600 T + 200 rest). Mikkel was just behind, and just ahead on the last one. 5:59 5:57 5:58.

Note

Felt sad and disturbed in the evening. Frustrated. Could not sleep well. Too much coffee.

Orienteering race 21:15 [3] **** 3.75 km (5:40 / km) +140m 4:47 / km
ahr:166 max:178 spiked:8/12c shoes: (C)Ross Dress Brooks

Got up early and Attackpointed. Then, rode with Mikkel to the event at Joaquin Miller.

I won, but had a pretty bad run. I felt strong physically, and my emotional issues may be just about over. But, I fell and completely lost concentration for a nasty mistake at Control 2, then twisted my ankle twice. Mostly recovered by the end and nailed a key leg to #10, both route choice and execution.

Joe S. had predicted 19 minutes for a 100-pt runner. I think it was more like mid-16s for this course. Of course, the 100-pt runner would have probably made some of the many mistakes Mikkel, Mattias, and I made. I was happy that I came and ran—a needed O-refresher before the 1000 Day.
