Training Log Archive: Hammer

ran the women's relay course. absolutely beautiful terrain. missed #1, 3, 7, and 11 but had good flow and really enjoyed this. great encouragement from the awesome cdn men's team when i ran through the arena. was so great to watch the strong performances by the Cdn junior teams today. great lead off legs by AG! and JE. Then solid runs by the rest with Robbie passing the US and Nicole holding off (body checking?) the American
team in the finish chute. I joke. So proud of Christian and Nicole.

a great week of Orienteering and super strong dominance by the Swiss. coverage was awesome though not enough attention to the women's really race. Yeah I wanted to see AG! with the drone coverage! St Moritz is next.

C • Great week! 7

warm up

lots of stretch and roll while watching the middle final online...and then lots of catching up on work stuff.

warm up and cool down. As I jogged uphill to the start I thought that this would be an area Bash and Bent would love to traing to get their hill training in. it was hilly.

Then while warming up the clouds rolled in and visibility dropped to about 50m.

C • Hill Training 8

This was fun and challenging. Steep hills. tough side hill running and with only 50m visibility for the first half of the course. Missed the first control by a minute (same one AG! had trouble on, its in the blood, eh), then settled in for a few detailed checkpoints but then had troubles on the two side hill checkpoints. Overall was pleased my knees held out.

From downtown Scuol and then up, up, up towards Motta Naluns. Ran up for 5 minutes then jogged down to meet Etoile who was hiking up, then back up hard for 5 and jogged back down, repeated until legs were trashed. Then we walked down together.

Warmup, cool down nav with women's JWOC course in between. Didn't have a paper version of the map so ran with my iphone. Took a break at the map change since they were taking it down and I couldn't do the run through. CP6 had a gate blocked and the family who owned the house seemed a wee bit peeved people were still doing the course - but otherwise this was fun. Net down hill course but I sure felt the steep climbs. Didn't see any cows. Time: 17.07 (only 76 seconds be AG! who finished in the top 30 at JWOC sprint again)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
