Training Log Archive: maprunner

Mike and I managed the event at Ft Leavenworth. Great turnout, as usual. Folks enjoyed Mike's 3 courses. I considered going out on the long course, but my legs were tired from standing around, and we were short on manpower, so I stayed and worked the whole event.
Except for one short outing:

Mini O course at Ft Leavenworth
I was inspired to run fast since there was a nice prize (gourmet bakery cookies!) for the fastest F, M and team.
One slow down near 8 where I thought I hadn't gone far enough.
Cost me the overall win (for all runners) but I did win the Female category :)

Time lost = 4.3%
Consistency = 10.5%

Had to train some more today to hit my goal for the week. First I took a nap, then I went for a nice bike ride in the beautiful fall weather. For the first time, I saw a bike rider, holding a phone up against his ear and talking while riding. Looked pretty dangerous to me.

Stopped at Kill Creek on the way home, and ran a short course. Followed by some wandering around to check out the map and consider control locations.

Saw Mike Stewart there. He was also checking out the map, for his event (two weeks before ours).

I planned to orienteer at Kill Creek on my way home from work. But I left my gear bag at home, so that was a bust. Rushed home, changed clothes, rushed out again. Just had time for a short run at the Overlook before the sun set. Very warm and very windy today.

Hot (30) and windy (35 kph) but still great to be outside on a sunny fall day.
