| Event: 2006 North American Championships (Golden Leaf Orienteering Fest)
|
 | Orienteering 50:00 [2] 4 km (12:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Adidas Swoop 2 |
| NAOC Model. Well, I wasn't feeling too confident about the middle and long after this. Hit only a few controls right on, even though I was going slow. Not too worried about making huge mistakes in the championships, although losing up to 2 or 3 minutes on half of the controls seemed quite possible. |
| Orienteering 16:28 [4] 3.8 km (4:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| NAOC Sprint, McMaster University. Very good race, only a few slight hesistations and maybe a couple not-so-good route choices. Finished 12th/45, 0:57 behind the winner, MrPither. Pleased that my running speed was good enough to put me quite close to the lead pack. |
| Running warm up/down 12:00 [2] 2.3 km (5:13 / km) | |

Saturday Sep 30 |
| Running race 17:56 [4] 5 km (3:35 / km) vdot: 56.6 | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| 5K trial in the park, along the triathlon route. 1.25 km splits: 4:24, 4:32, 4:43, 4:17. Goal was 18:15, so I was quite pleased with my time. Surprised that I was able to speed up 26 seconds in the last quarter. I wasn't really expecting sub-18 after the slow third quarter.
New 5K PR by 35 to 56 seconds (not sure about old record as I don't know the exact distance of other runs), although that's not as good as it may sound because I haven't run a good 5K recently. |
