| Event: WCOC Wooster Mtn Meet
|
 | Orienteering 1:12:17 [4]6.5 km (11:07 / km) | |
| |
| Went down with PG to WCOC meet at Wooster Mtn, a map in progress by Rick D. (The portion used today was called Hemlock Hills.) Lots of rock and steep slopes, similar to Tarryville, but also some nice open woods running. Temp in the low 40's feelt cold before and after, but perfect during the run.
I had a good run today, but it seems I can't get through a race without doing something really stupid. Today, it was going to the go control first. Fortunately, the go control was more or less in the same direction as the route to #1. I should have lost less than a minute, but then I missed the go control and ended up losing more than a minute and a half on the first leg. But after that, only two one-minute misses on #2 and #5. |

| A short warm-up, mostly seeking out a semi-private place to take a dump. |

| 40's, perfect running conditions. I find that having a goal on a familiar course where you know what all the splits should be really helps motivate me to do a good run. So, I picked the Frost to Depot and back route with a goal of 69 minutes, a minute faster than Peter and I did this a couple of weeks ago. And, indeed, having that goal, and knowing what splits I should hit, had me chugging along at just the needed pace. Some of the usual leg and foot discomfort, but I had good energy on the hills, and never had to breathe very hard. "Quite pleased with myself."
8:07, 9:26, 6:40, 11:22 (35:39); 10:51, 6:19, 8:47, 7:17 (33:16). |

| Indoors, after lifting, after dark. Wanted to do an easy, recovery run. This wasn't it. Legs felt like crap. |
Wednesday Nov 14 |
| Trail Run 1:40:08 [3]10.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| |
| A very pleasant run with Peter at Norwottuck, mostly on bike trails. Probably a couple hundred little hills, with constant twisting and turning. My longest run in nearly three months (not counting the Highlander). My stamina was fine, but legs were feeling creaky by the end. Distance is a wild guess. |

| Note | |
| |
| Spent an enjoyable two hours at Mt Tom in the northeast kingdom, exploring, mapping, checking routes for my courses. Pleased that I can keep very close map contact with minimal use of the compass. That may not sound like much, since I was walking, but I couldn't have said that a couple of years ago. |
