| road run 1:00:00 [2] 6.5 mi (9:13 / mi) | |
| Wow, did I feel gross this morning. I ran to work, and it was super nice out, but I was dragging. my stomach was queasy, and I'm going to blame my run today on eating breakfast about 10 minutes before heading out the door.
It's a lose- lose- lose situation. Either I don't eat breakfast and I feel lackluster because no food, or I eat and feel gross because I haven't waited long enough, or I get up much earlier and lose sleep! I need a bed like Wallace's in Wallace and Grommet. One that tips up when the alarm goes off and has me slide into my breakfast chair. | ||

| Note | |
| Drove back from Ithaca today, 6 hours of driving sure seems like a workout even if I'm not actually doing anything, it's exausting.
Hill and I beat Sam at Kubb in a striking come from behind victory. With all 5 of our back row knocked over we managed to surge back. | ||

Sunday May 28 | ||
| orienteering race 31:00 [5] 3.3 km (9:24 / km) | |
| I don't have my maps with me here at work. I feel guilty enough doing stuff on attackpoint without draping a map across my desk in a blatant show of "I'm not doing anything at all".
Anyways, the races on Sunday were really fun trainings. I didn't have a compass or o-shoes, and the highest level of course that they were offering was an orange. I quickly found that the terrain was extremely steep, and the slopes weren't particularily helpful for my slick sneakers. The course was fairly straight forward even without a compass, but that just meant that I needed to be running harder. It felt like a longish steepish sprint, but with a slower time. I chose a bad route to 5, and while executing this route decided that the other way would have been faster... and because I was worried about having made that mistake I messed up the control anyways, getting onto the wrong road, and having to cut back up the slope. The vegetation around 8 had changed a lot since mapping, and without a compass I was second guessing myself. And then leaving 8, I didn't read the contours or vegetation very well and ending up climbing a steep hillside of tall brush. the rest of the course was just trying to stay sharp in the heat. | ||
| orienteering race 19:56 [5] 2.4 km (8:18 / km) | |
| Sprint at Eastman Dunham-
we did the sprint after waiting a bit after the orange course. The sprint was E-punch which Sam and I thought was very high class. The whole event was super-well run, especially the e-punch ( no rental fee, excellent finish/download proceedure). We had done some of the controls on the sprint already because they were shared on the orange course. I was having a good flow race ( no compass can help flow, because you have to maintain an idea of exit direction from all controls) and was cruising until #9 I cut into the woods on the trail, and decided to stay high on the slope while cutting back to the proper spur. Lucky that I did, because the control was accidently hung one spur too early, and I saw it as I climbed up the hill. I didn't think very hard about it, and assumed that I had just come upon it quicker than anticipated, and headed off to #10. Because I was thinking that I was coming from a different spur than I really was, I managed to get into a parallel error on 10. I would have figured it out with a compass, but without one, I just tried to use the wrong field corner as my attackpoint. opps. I lost time on that one to Sam. 11, was swift except climbing the hill, and same to the last control. I was really tired though in the finish chute though, and it shows since Sam had the same finish split as I did. | ||
