Event: BATONA 500
 

Orienteering warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: New VJ Spikes

Warmed up on the model and ran to the start.

Did OK with the contours on the model but not so well finding indistinct trails or reading vegetation.

When I got to the start I realized I was missing my number and my gaiters.

Batona 500 blue day 1.

A short classic?

Wasn't billed as a middle, though Oli ran it like one. I've never felt more outclassed than I felt today. Even at WOC.

Had about 6 minutes of errors but it didn't seem like much at the time. I guess the good thing is I didn't let them get me down.

Felt like I was moving OK. Missed to the left generally.

Orienteering race 11:30 [4] ***** 1.7 km (6:46 / km) +15m 6:29 / km

Not at all what I expected. Harder and thicker.

Lost about 1:45 on 5 as I hit 6 and 7 before finding 5.

The rest was decent.

Sprint A.

No mistakes really.

Control pickup. Time is an estimate of the time moving as opposed to picking up trash and bagging controls.

Day 1 Blue - Splits

Cross Training 30:00 [2]

level 5, glute #1

Did some crunches and back extensions afterward.

Run 1:00:30 [2] 7.5 mi (8:04 / mi)
shoes: 10/2006 Asics

TNT. I got Dasha to run with me for the first half hour.

During that time our splits were 2:08-2:12ish. She did the last one in 1:40. I ran in the middle lane.

Afterward, I did 8 minute miles.

Note

The wyattitis is pretty bad today. It was a little worse after my weight workout last week, and a little worse after WCC. Also, tightness has migrated into the hamstring proper from the glute. An ominous sign. Luckily, I don't need to do any hard running this week, (until Saturday) but got to be careful.

If only I could divert z-man's shipment through a BI Inc. front organization, via WY, to PA...

warmup

Weight training 35:00 [2]

Stayed off the legs, aside from hip ab/adduction and back extensions. Added power on the bench press--up to 170, but only 2 there.

Orienteering race 46:51 [4] *** 6 km (7:49 / km) +210m 6:39 / km
shoes: 9/2006 Integrators

Brandywine red.

Decent race. Tom O gave me this notion before I started that I ought to be able to run this course in under 40. That is far out of reach. 43 maybe.

Lost 2-3 minutes.

C • < 40 mins 2
