orienteer 45:00
Putting out the markers for my event.
We had a good turn out, and about half of the participants were women. Only two ran as individuals, the rest were in groups. I'm glad there are more women, I just wish we could get more who were interested in competing on their own. Baby steps, I guess.
Edit: forgot to mention all the helpers: Fritz, Mike, Corey, Gene, Paul, Dean and Dick. Thank you all!

I wanted to do a longish trail run today but we’ve had so much rain this spring and the trails are all muddy. So I decided to run on campus, which includes a big hill (which I walked). I got a late start but I don’t regret sleeping in till 9.
Then I checked out the map and control locations for my event next weekend.

swim 1:10 [4] 0.05 km (23:20 / km)
KC Corporate Challenge, 50m freestyle swim. A total laugh and farce.
I am not a swimmer. I barely know how to stay afloat, but I decided to help out the company and show up for two laps of the pool tonight. I went into the practice area to remember how to swim and breathe. I forgot how tiring it is to swim: uses totally different muscles. I was worried about making it through 2 laps.
As I was getting ready to start my first ever swim race, I noticed that the women ahead of me who went off the blocks got to stay under water a longer time. That seemed like a good idea to me. I also noticed that the start position looked a lot like the sprint start, so no worries there. I went off the blocks (my colleagues were quite surprised) swam under water and then came up and started to crawl. I quickly figured out that I no longer had any goggles on. It was hard to see the bottom of the pool and I was worried about my contacts. So I only kept one eye open.
I got to the wall, turned around, and pushed off for a long glide under water (minimize swim time!) When I came up, I went for a big gulp of air and got nothing but water instead! Agh! I just stopped in place and started coughing and hacking, trying to catch my breath. At this point, I also noticed that my goggles were down around my neck, and I briefly considered trying to get them back on. But all I really wanted to so was finish. But I was spooked now and a total fail, so I just started swimming like an old lady with my head above water. I was in lane 1, and a colleague came next to me to encourage me to keep going, telling me only a few meters left, etc. I was glad for the support., and really happy that he did that.
Not sure if I will rise to the occasion and learn from my mistakes before next year's Challenge, or give up my swim career forever :)

Note
I went back to the track this morning to watch the finals of the 100 m. Got there in time to see the first race, women aged 90 to 103. Very impressive! The race in my age class wasn't even close; Joy U won easily and set a new Senior Games record in 13.37.

Mike made me an O map of the UNM campus so I could add another O state! I drew the course and ran it before it got too hot (Although it was hot enough). The map is really rough (Open Street Map imported into OOM) so there were some surprises. I had to avoid construction only once, as I approached 5. The campus is pretty flat, but has some weird levels, walkways and funny shaped buildings that would make it an interesting area to hold a real sprint.
12 PM
Note
I spent the rest of the day exploring museums and staying out of the heat. During my campus O training, I passed signs for the Museum of Meteorites and the Museum of Southwestern Biology. I decided to visit both. The meteorite museum is only open upon request, so that was a bust. I managed to talk to a woman at the museum of Southwestern Biology but she explained that it was a collection only and did not have exhibits. If I wanted, I could make an appointment to see any part of the collection? Nope, another bust (although it was nice to talk with her).
Did get into two museums: Museum of Albuquerque and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. I enjoyed the cultural center more.
Also made a stop at an independent fabric shop to add to my collection.

sprint drills (warm up) 20:00 [1] 2.61 km (7:40 / km) +2m 7:38 / km
ahr:119 max:151
Warm up at the venue. At one point it looked like they were calling groups up ahead of schedule and I panicked a bit about getting in a good warm up. But in the end, they learned from yesterday's debacle and only called up each age group at the appointed time.
I did mange to find Keg Good today (thanks to Janet and Peggy). She did not know I was here and was not cheering for me yesterday, so it's still a mystery. We had a nice chat about sprinting and training. She said that she will miss an O race if it is close to an important sprint; I said I was the opposite and would miss a sprint if it was close to an important O race! She had another good run today in the 100.
I also watched a few of the older aged women run their 50 m finals. Totally awesome and inspiring. The 80 winner ran it faster than I did! And she still uses starting blocks!
This is a great event in terms of atmosphere and comradeship. We are all crazy enough to be running track in our older years. Instant connections, easy conversations and lots of laughs. And it's great to be considered a "youngster" in this group!

run race 16 [5] 0.1 km (2:40 / km)
2019 National Senior Games, Albuquerque 100 meters
16.60 17/26 in F55
I was in the first heat again, but the call up was much more organized than yesterday. In fact, they kept us waiting a few minutes so we would start at the scheduled time.
I was the only one not using starting blocks in my heat. I tried them when I first started sprinting, but I never felt comfortable with them.
I had a good start, then the usual mindless running, then I felt my legs getting rubbery near the end. I remember thinking oh oh, you're getting tired, so keep on pushing.
I was happy with my time of 16.60, but shoot, I was only 0.05 seconds off of my PR! Perhaps if I hadn't thought about getting tired, I would have made it. Oh well, I have two more chances this summer to get under 16.56.
The other women in my age class are phenomenal. The top result was under 14 seconds! Mary Taylor from KC just made the final, so I think I will go tomorrow to cheer her on.

I have been outside the last two days, but a track stadium is not the same as nature. So I went to the Rio Grande State Park and went on an easy walk/run. My goal was to actually see the Rio Grands. I had no problem, since it is currently flooding and the water came up quite close to the trail sometimes.
Of course it was hot, but dry and overcast so it wasn't too bad. It was a nice area to run around and I'm glad I went. But I will never be a desert person, just can't fall in love with this terrain.

run race 8 [5] 0.05 km (2:40 / km)
National Senior Games, Albuquerque, 50 meters
8.49 (PR!!!) 14/23 in F55
I did my light warm up, then expected to get my hip number and do some more drills before the race. However, the hip number system was just crazy, and we ended up standing in line in the sun for 15 minutes. Then, I was the first lane in heat 1 so they were calling me up before I even had my spikes or hip number on. It was a bit chaotic. The last crazy thing was a false start in our heat. Another good reminder to be prepared for anything at a track race.
But I was fairly relaxed (once I got out on the track). 50m is so short! 6 women in my heat were using blocks; me and one other did not. I was still nervous, but the right kind of nervous. I had a good start, then there was the usual black out period for a few seconds (where I don't remember running, but strangely heard someone shouting "Go Mary!") then I remember lunging for the line.
The timing and announcing are top notch, so the results were flashed up on the big screen right away. I ran 8.49, which beats my previous PR of 8.82. Woo hoo!
Full results for F55 are here:

You needed sub-8 to make the finals. Mary Taylor from Kansas City (who beats me in the KCCC race) just missed out on qualifying. She had a relatively bad run, for her. You can click on the globe for my warm up session (above) to see HR and speed.
The races were broadcast live on Facebook, so Mike got to see me race. I talked to him after the race and he told me that Keg Good was announced as running in the age class before me. Could she have recognized my OK top (which I wear in these races, why not?) and been the person cheering for me? A big thanks to her if it was!

Nordic track 20:00 [1]
A bit of tracking in the basement before my travel day to Albuquerque for the 2019 Senior National Games. I'm really excited to compete as well as take my first solo vacation (with nobody to visit or orienteering race with friends) in 30 years. I'll miss Mike, of course, but this will be an adventure.
50 m: there are 40 women registered in my age class.
Goal: new PR. I only have one electronically timed 50m race, so this is a pretty soft goal.
Stretch goal: make the final. Based on the times from 2017, I'll be just outside the range of qualifying. But anything can happen on any given day.
100m: there are 45 women registered in my age class
Goal: a strong run, hold form, feel good
Stretch goal: new PR. Two weeks ago, I missed a PR by 0.1 seconds. I'll need a clean run, and I'm not sure how altitude will affect me.

My trainer cancelled at the last minute, but I decided to go to the gym anyway and work out on my own. I took it pretty easy, partly because I'm lazy and partly because my next race is on Sunday.
Tonight's set:
10X TRX row
10X glute bridges
10X bicep curls, 10lbs each hand
12X side steps,stiff knee, with a band around my feet. Don't know what this is really called.

Nice bike ride this morning. It is cooler and overcast which helps a lot. The strong winds were not as fun.
Now playing around to set up my new Garmin 645. It is helpful to live near the Garmin headquarters, so we know several Garmin employees who can buy stuff at a big discount for us.

orienteer 30:00 [3]
Worked registration and beginner's briefing at the the Burcham Park event. I was thrilled to see that 3 of my "women only" trainees showed up.
Then I walked to the first two controls on the intro course with my sister Susan (who is visiting from CA).
I spent too much time talking with folks after they finished, and it was getting hot, so I knew I didn't want to do a full course. But it is the end of my training week and I had not yet orienteered this week, so I had to do something. So I went to the first three and the last control on the middle course.
Finished up with some marker pickup later.

KC Corporate Challenge 100 meters
I tried a couple of different things tonight, starting with check in. They ask you for a seeding time. Usually they take last year's result. But I told the clerk that I was trying for a faster time tonight, so put me down for 16.5. She laughed, said she liked my attitude and encouraged me to go for it.
Another scorching day (33C) but at least there was slight breeze. In past years, I would do a long warm up jog, then two nearly full sprints. But in my training this season, I discovered that I now do better with less warm up (time and intensity). So I took it easier tonight.
I was nervous at the line, as usual. But I said to myself: tonight's the night. (I wanted a medal. I've been 4th a few times.)
I had a good start, then I don't remember much until ~70 meters. It was the strangest feeling: I noticed that my knees were not coming up as high as usual and they felt like they were moving through water. Very distinct sensation and very weird thoughts. However, I was holding my form well (which has been a problem recently) and I did not feel wiped out at the end. Good progress!
Of course, the other Mary was way ahead of me, but I finished second in my heat. There were some fast woman in prior heats, so I wasn't sure if I had gotten a medal or not. I also felt my time would be slow, based on how my legs felt. I texted Mike that I had good form but was slow.
It takes about 15 minutes to see the results. I was shocked and thrilled when I saw that I had indeed finished second in 16.65. This is only the second time I have broken 17 seconds! Woo hoo! I was very happy! It was also nice to get a sliver medal, and hear my name called out in the stadium.
Edit: I have a bad memory. This was the 4th time I was under 17 seconds, Last time was in 2017. I was beginning to think I was too old to break 17 again.

Another scorching day (33C) but at least there was slight breeze. In past years, I would do a long warm up jog, then two nearly full sprints. But in my training this season, I discovered that I now do better with less warm up (time and intensity). So I took it easier tonight.
I was nervous at the line, as usual. But I said to myself: tonight's the night. (I wanted a medal. I've been 4th a few times.)
I had a good start, then I don't remember much until ~70 meters. It was the strangest feeling: I noticed that my knees were not coming up as high as usual and they felt like they were moving through water. Very distinct sensation and very weird thoughts. However, I was holding my form well (which has been a problem recently) and I did not feel wiped out at the end. Good progress!
Of course, the other Mary was way ahead of me, but I finished second in my heat. There were some fast woman in prior heats, so I wasn't sure if I had gotten a medal or not. I also felt my time would be slow, based on how my legs felt. I texted Mike that I had good form but was slow.
It takes about 15 minutes to see the results. I was shocked and thrilled when I saw that I had indeed finished second in 16.65. This is only the second time I have broken 17 seconds! Woo hoo! I was very happy! It was also nice to get a sliver medal, and hear my name called out in the stadium.
Edit: I have a bad memory. This was the 4th time I was under 17 seconds, Last time was in 2017. I was beginning to think I was too old to break 17 again.

I stuck around to run the sprint relay. I was the second leg, and ran 100 meters. We are not competitive in this discipline, so I did not go all out. Time is a guesstimate.
