Friday May 19

Event: US Team Trials
 
Run 25:00 [1]2.7 mi (9:15 / mi)
shoes: VJ Spikes
warmup
Orienteering race 15:19 [5]**** 2.7 km (5:40 / km) +60m 5:06 / km
shoes: VJ Spikes
Team Trials Sprint.

An OK race. Reasonably good technically, though maybe too conservative on route choice. In any case, I missed or failed to take some optimal routes and did few excessive switchbacks.

The bigger porblem was that I did not feel like I had good legs today. Just did not feel fast. Maybe the heat?

Overall, as I had high expectations for this race, I was disappointed.
C • Team 2

Cool down with Greg on the rails to trails path.

Down past the police station.

Split back on the "race course" was ~23:00 but I stopped to talk to Chris. And it was at level 2.

Sunday May 14

Event: 28th Annual Billygoat Run
 
Note
Iron Hill

Green course = 5.2 K, 120M and 15 controls.
Want to run it in ~35.
Run 20:00 [2]3.8 km (5:16 / km)
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Warmup
Orienteering 39:06 [4]**** 5.3 km (7:23 / km) +150m 6:28 / km
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Iron Hill green.

Missed my goal time by a decent margin. 35 minutes would have been harder than I thought. I think I only lost 2.5 minutes, plus some time to hesitations.

I concentrated and ran well throughout. I'm not sure how to have better executed the control (10?) that caused my problems. It is in a very subtle area with new downed trees. Admittedly, I didn't have a great plan but short of taking it really slowly, I don't know how to improve things much.

Map hike 2:00:00 [1]*** 10 km (12:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Spikes
Terrain evaluation for SS Finals at Hickory Run with Harvey L. Have 2.5 good venues. The remaining .5 will need to wait until I see the fieldwork.

Saturday May 13

Event: Pre-Billygoat Sprints
 
Run 38:00 [2]4.5 mi (8:26 / mi)
shoes: Old Asics
Intended to run 40, but a nearby lightening strike convinced me otherwise.
