 | Orienteering (sprint) 30:07 [4] 2.8 km (10:45 / km) | |
| |
| Plan was to do WCOC/NEOC double, and get in two sprints and maybe a green. Got down to Stamford Nature Center early for the first sprint. Then off to Gay City.
It's becoming painfully clear that sprints for me, right now are synonomous with bad orienteering. I simply try to go faster than my skills allow, and stupid mistakes result. This sprint had at least two and a half minutes of mistakes (on what was basically a yellow course), one minute of which involved thinking I was leaving 6 when in fact I was leaving 5. Bottom line: I need to spend more time looking at the map, double-checking what I'm doing, and not let "moving faster" mean "not looking at the map." |

| Gay City "sprint", starting right at 1:00, temp in the mid-80's. I totally blew the first two controls (maybe 8 minutes lost), and then, given the heat and the fact that my hip hadn't loosened up much after the long car ride between sprints, I chose to walk-jog the rest of the course (contunuing to make mistakes). Never were sprint points less deserved! |

| |
| I wasn't up for trying to do a couse seriously, so I picked up the sprint controls, mostly walking (but a lot faster total time than I "ran" the course). It was surprising how easy the course seemed when I took the time to read the map (and take accurate compass bearings). Conveniently, a watch malfunction has erased all my splits from this event. |

| Trail Run (tempo) 25:25 [4] 3.1 mi (8:12 / mi) | |
| ahr:156 max:165 |
| Noho cross-country course. Long way to go to get back into running shape. High 70's and sun made this a hard effort. HR at 165 after cresting the steep hill, and then again after the smaller final hill -- which is strange since my "max" HR over the last five years has been 163. 8:17 (149), 7:59 (156), 8:17 (161), :50 (161). |

| |
| DVOA team fundraiser at Stuckey Pond. Nice to be orienteering again; hip seems to be on the mend. But, unfortunately, my orienteering sucked. (The golf with Peter, Charlie, and Gail -- after a 20 year layoff -- was promising though.) |
| Trail/Road Run 5:00 [2] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Modest warm-up. |
