| Event: WCOC Meet and Winter Meeting
|
 | Orienteering race 23:07 [4]2.4 km (9:38 / km) | |
| |
| Sprint A, first of three. Shaky at the start. Misread the stone walls and went past 2, losing at least a minute. Then navigated OK, but not moving well. My back and left quad both got progressively worse through the three sprints; will need some recovery time. Seems I can't go more than a few weeks without reinjuring something and having to back off training again. |
| Orienteering race 24:30 [4]2.4 km (10:12 / km) | |
| |
| Sprint B, the worst of the three, this time with two mistakes totaling maybe 2 minutes. Felt worse physically too than sprint A. A bad fall coming into the first control didn't help. |
| Orienteering race 22:10 [4]2.4 km (9:14 / km) | |
| |
| Sprint C. This was the best - no mistakes more than 10-15 seconds - and I tried to put out a hard effort ... But I just didn't have it physically with both my back and quad hurting. |
Saturday Jan 27 |
| Orienteering 33:03 [3]3.2 km (10:20 / km) | |
| |
| Mt Tom, yellow course from 2005. Had planned to do more, but it was just too cold for orienteering: 13 degrees. |
Thursday Jan 25 |
| Trail Run 1:21:35 [3]8.5 mi (9:36 / mi) | |
| |
| On Mt. Toby with Peter. Up the power line (17:33), past the gate (38:20) a bit, then up the telephone trail to the Frost and back down to the course near the shack; back from power line in 14:20. My legs felt a bit tired and I was content to let Peter lead the whole way. Which was useful, since he gave me advance warning as we approached the numerous patches of hidden ice along the trail. |
Wednesday Jan 24 |
| Orienteering 1:13:00 [2]5.0 mi (14:35 / mi) | |
| |
| Northside of Norwottuck, at a very relaxed (and so enjoyable) pace, about one-third off trail. No compass, and no contact or magnifier, made it interesting; but only one minor trail mistake. |
Tuesday Jan 23 |
| Track 11:30 [5]2.0 mi (5:44 / mi) | |
| max:155 rhr:45 weight:151lbs |
| Smith indoor track, with Peter. 8 400's with a minute and a half rest in between. Though we were both complaining -- my foot, Peter's hamstring -- it was a pretty good workout for a couple of old guys. We took turns leading, which made for an excellent split profle: 87.5, 87.3, 87.4, 86.7, 86.2, 85.3, 85.5, 84.6. |
| Track 17:00 [2]2.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |

| Before and after. |
