Training Log Archive: maprunner

at SMP after work. This felt like more work. Body was protesting the whole way. I took several walking breaks, which I don't usually need. Not too surprising, after a long weekend with lots of standing and too little sleep. I was supposed to be out for 60 minutes, but as I approached the trail head around 50 minutes, I decided it was a sign to pack it in.

At least it was a beautiful night. Of course, the day _after_ the Trot, the temp was over 50 :)

Event: Possum Trot XII
 

Twelfth Possum Trot race. As usual, I took splits at the first water stop. This year I could sit in the car, which was nice. It was low 20s and sunny, and warmed up at the day progressed. Another exciting race, where Eric B finally prevailed. Poor Mikell had leg seizures and had to stop after 4.

I decided to get some time in the woods, so I grabbed a map and visited some of the PT controls in random order. Pleasantly surprised when I ran into Mike at 15. The woods are pretty thick (underbrush) in some places, so I was grateful to find so many deer trails. Good physical training, but my mind was not focused. Need to start getting serious about O training soon.

Hanging markers for the KS champs. Clear day, a bit windy but not too cold. We had great attendance this year. Lots of kids, too, which is always nice to see. Lots of good comments at the end, so I think folks enjoyed the event. Thanks Gene, Dick, Mike, Fritz and Pete for all your help.

Oh, no! The 2009 Relays will be part of the Flying Pig. Guess I won't be on the team this year.

at SMP after work. First fairly cold night, where I sat in the car and had to talk myself into starting. Had to run on the south side, since the MTB trails were wet and closed. The south trail runs right along the lake edge, so it was windy. But nice to run on different trails, for a change. And no mountain bikers allowed on this section, so I was completely alone.

The new OK tops arrived tonight. They look better than I expected, and are certainly unique. Check out kupackman's log for photos (from the BAOC meet).

C • OK jerseys 3

Moving around a bit in the woods at SMP after work, including some hill repeats. Good practice for moving through the woods, but I don't think it worked well for hill climbing efficiency.
