Run warm up/down 15:00 [2]
shoes: Jalas
Because we spent 1:15 trying to cross the GW, I didn't do a lot of warmup or warmdown--this is probably it.
Orienteering race 14:42 [4] **** 2.1 km (7:00 / km) +50m 6:15 / km
shoes: Jalas
SS Finals race #1.
Took this one aggressively, but to my detriment.
Got stung by a bee at 1 which caused some acceleration. Hit the ground hard leaving 2 and had to gather myself.
Lost probably 2 minutes all told--3 x 30 and change here and there.

Orienteering race 14:17 [4] *** 2.2 km (6:30 / km) +50m 5:50 / km

SS Finals course 2.
A different flavor race. Felt more like normal orienteering. Thought I was running as hard as the first one, but honestly probably slacked a bit. I also thought I orienteered more cleanly, but in retrospect, not so sure. About 1:30 in errors.

Orienteering race 16:49 *** 3.2 km (5:15 / km) +60m 4:48 / km

SS Finals Course 3.
Decided to run this one easy as agreed with Greg. Also, thought Vadim was going to run easy--but they both apparently were racing.
I enjoyed myself with a mixed effort race. Very clean and very controlled. Much better orienteering than in the first two.
In retrospect, I could have run it harder or accelerated at the end, but I think discipline is important.

No abs or stretching.

Run warm up/down 34:00 [2]
shoes: 9 2007 Saucony
Warmup/down before and after.
Run intervals 27:15 [4] 4.0 mi (6:49 / mi)
shoes: Asics spikes
TNT. By myself. Eric went to Tyler. We were it.
Workout was 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400.
Recovery was basically a jogging lap in 2 and a little hanging out at the start line.
Hit my target except on the 800s which were 5 seconds slow. For better or worse, I was consistent.

Run tempo 2:00:00 [3] 15.6 mi (7:42 / mi)
shoes: 9 2007 Adidas
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1348341
Supposed to be an easy run for an hour. But, in the interest of a proper taper, I did another one. And I didn't run easy.
Ran out of runway at the turnaround point and had to circle. Went further than I have before.
Celebrated finishing with a 30 second cooldown and a large drink of lemonade flavored Gookinaid--the official drink of DVOA teams everywhere.

Note
Did the CAIA exam today and thus had the end of the afternoon free. It is quite a delight to be able to run in the afternoon.

Weight training 20:00 [2]
Quick weight session. Did chest, arms, shoulders, back extensions, and 2x30x24 lunges.
Rowing Machine 30:00 7.51 km (4:00 / km)
Did 30 minutes. I intended this to be a rest day, but after starting out and pulling for a while, the splits were 2:03-2:04 without much trouble, so I decided to be a little brisker. After 15 minutes felt even better and kept splits under 1:59.
Pleased with endurance. It seems that a little more specific weights and/or erging more than once a week might continue improvement.

Note
7511 apparently is not that good. Back in early 2000 I was pulling ~8000 meters for 30 minutes. Can I get back there?

Run warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas
A loop around the camp road plus a little extra while Gregory made me a special map.
Orienteering race 1:01:42 [4] **** 8.6 km (7:10 / km) +175m 6:31 / km
18c shoes: Jalas
Hickory Run blue. A very good race. Drifted a bit right on 4 but forced myself to correct without too much damage. Hesistant on some other controls: 5--when I went in without really knowing where I was off the trail; 10--a little left plus a bit too much time hung up in green on the left hand route; 13 and 15. But, no big complaints. Total errors maybe 2:30.
Run warm up/down 5:00 [1] 0.8 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: Jalas
Back to the start.
Orienteering 45:00 [2] ****
5c shoes: Jalas
Control pickup of the 5 NE most controls from HR. Tired, but navigating well.
Note
Another Hickory Run training weekend. I love this weekend. It really is one of the highlights of the year. It is a bit different than when I started, but still good.
