run/walk warm up/down 25:00 [3] +68m
run 35:12 [3] 5.0 km (7:02 / km) +68m 6:36 / km
I messed up this 5K run. I planned to run 30-31 minute 5k. but I didn't have my pace displayed on my Garmin. Also, I warmed up for a few minutes, and just hit the lap button when I started, but I didn't know what time I started. As I ran, the automatic 1k counter went off twice each K. I couldn't figure it out. Unfortunately, I looked at the first number (which was pretty fast) and I believed it. I didn't feel like I was pushing very hard, but my legs did get pretty tired by the end. I thought I had run just under 30 minutes. But when I got home I was disappointed to see the time. I guess I should have looked at the second k time, which would have told meI needed to speed up. This is not where I wanted to be with only 3 weeks to go.

weights 30:00 [2]
yoga 30:00 [1]
My trainer wasn't available this week, so I had to try to push myself tonight. I worked out in our basement, and my heaviest weight is only 10 lbs, so I did more reps. I suppose I could have gone to the gym and worked out on my own...

sprint drills (1 minute) 50:00 4.59 km (10:53 / km) +7m 10:49 / km
One minute drills on west campus. I couldn't make it to one minute on the 3rd or 4th rep. Even my arms were screaming on the 4th rep. Tough training, but necessary. Only 2 months till racing season begins.

cycle 30:00 [3]
Took a planned vacation day from work. Got a lot done around the house, ran some errands, and then went for a short, flat bike ride. Any slight uphill was tough on my quads.

orienteer race 27:09 [4] 2.7 km (10:03 / km) +2m 10:01 / km
Sprint 1, Columbus urban
Legs were really tired, but I did a nice long warmup, so I was ready to run as fast as I could.
Woo, this was fun. Lots of fun buildings, alleyways, etc. I felt pretty good, and I enjoyed the feeling of racing a sprint on an unknown map. I was with Shin and a woman for a lot of the middle f the course, which messed me up a bit. I have to get better at ignoring people. I had planned to leave 12 to the north, but they both went to the south. I had a hard time reading all the walls on the run (crossable/uncrossable). I also convinced myself that the way to the north was blocked, so I stupidly followed them and lost a lot of time.
Pushed hard towards the finish and then had a total brain fart. I passed the two Go controls, but somehow thought they were the finish controls. Went way passed them before I convinced myself I was wrong (seeing the big building in front of my was a bad sign). This was a huge mistake.
But I was really pleased with how well I ran most of this course. And I had lots of fun. I only wish I had taken a few seconds to appreciate the buildings as I passed them (they were all just gray blobs to me :)

orienteer race 25:58 [4] 2.7 km (9:37 / km) +6m 9:30 / km
Sprint 2, Columbus parkland
I spent the 2 hours between races sitting with my legs up, but I knew it was no good. My legs were fried, and there was nothing left in the tank. This was an easy sprint and I didn't make any time mistakes (according to AP) but made some questionable route choices. From 2 to3, I never saw the option of running through the yellow, and instead, walked through the mud and muck along the pond.
I pushed as hard as I could, but I was running in slow motion. I couldn't even sprint in the finish chute :)
