| Orienteering 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| dad hasn't logged this yet, so I'm not really sure how long it was. We ran a corridor-o that dad desugned years ago. Rough compass through the corridor on the map. It went alright, but the corridors were long, so it was hard to stay in it the whole way without the map. I missed a few times. |
Sunday Jan 28 |
| road run 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| jogging around doing some of the short courses people in my group designed. |
| trail run 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Went on a trail run on the Round Pond map at West Point with dad, Hill, Ross and Jon Campbell. The trail was uphill the whole way, I swear :) My ankle got squashed a few times and the pain came back for a short time. |
Saturday Jan 27 |
| road run 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| jogging around at West Point during different parts of the day - short intervals and setting out streamers. |
Thursday Jan 25 |
| trail run 56:00 [3] | |
| |
| ran the Wilson Mountian trail loop. Felt like I was moving pretty quick, time was 4:09. Not my fastest for this threshhold training loop, but that's just where I am now. |
| road run 14:09 [2] | |
| |
| ran around town with dad before and after the Wilson Mountain loop. |
Tuesday Jan 23 |
| Orienteering 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Another emory o with dad i nteh Blue Hills. I only messed up once when I wanted to leave the control to the south and I left to the West. I knew I was off and had to look at the map again. I forgot my o-shoes so I ran with my trail running shoes. It was difficult going uphill and downhill since there is a light covering of snow on the ground, |
Monday Jan 22 |
| road/trail run 41:00 [2] | |
| |
| I ran around in Newton today by myself. I meant to bring my ipod, but I totally forgot. And the hat I was wearing would have helped hte earbuds stay in nicely. |
| lifting/strength 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| I did pilates with my roommate after running. I was planning on doing them right when I got back, and she was conveniently just starting! |
Sunday Jan 21 |
| trail run 1:34:00 [2] | |
| |
| ran with dad, Ross and Brendan on the trails around Westen. We got confused a few times, but managed to follow the trails. |
Saturday Jan 20 |
| Orienteering 47:00 [2] | |
| |
| Did another memory orienteering course with dad and Ross at Prospect Hill |
Friday Jan 19 |
| Orienteering 36:00 [2] | |
| |
| Did a map memory exercise with Dad on a red course in the Blue Hills. He memorized the route to number 1, and as we were running I memorized the route to number 2, gave him the map at #1 and ran to #2, and so on. I was actually pretty good :) I could remember more than I thought I could. This is a good exercise for me, since I need to work on map simplification. |

| C • Has Hill given up on AP loggin... 5 |

| |
| A cool down I suppose. Really I just didn't want to have to row for 25 minutes to reach an hour today. |
| rowing machine 14:00 [2] | |
| |
| Erging afterwards. |
Thursday Jan 18 |
| road run 35:00 [2] | |
| |
| running to and from Wilson Mountain with dad. I had the worst stomach cramp, and I never get cramps anymore. It was really annoying, and especailly painful on the way back home. I think it could be because I ate a different lunch today - tuna sandwich and an apple, instead of yogurt with granola and crackers. |
| trail run 14:15 [3] | |
| |
| ran around the Wilson Mountain loop. This is a fairly slow time, but I could tell I wasn't moving and the stitch in my side was causing me to slow down. Just didn't feel like flying during this run. |
| rowing machine 15:00 [3] | |
| |
| erged pretty hard, although I had to stop after 3 minutes to go inside to get gloves. 2.10.6, which is a good time for 15 minutes. I felt much better erging today than I did running. The cramp had gone away. |
Wednesday Jan 17 |

New discipline to be added to the 2007 World Orienteering Championships
As the discussion on micro orienteering heats up there is even bigger news. Read what I found today in my mailbox. Follow the link to get to the original letter.
The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) announced today the addition of the first World Indoor Orienteering Championships to the roster of events at the 2007 World Championships in Kiev, Ukraine.
"This is tremendously exciting for potential sponsors, spectators, the press, and oh yes, for athletes as well" explained Barely Runnäble, IOF's Secretary General. "Although this unveiling of the Indoor Championships is part of the 2007 WOC Program, subsequent Indoor Championships will take place in the winter months. Our long term goal is to have indoor orienteering included in the Winter Olympics", Ms. Runnäble continued. "While foot-O is not a traditional winter sport, the IOF has long recognized that our chances of getting on the Olympics program is much better with the winter rather than summer Olympics."
The advantages to staging orienteering in an arena are almost endless, explained Ms. Frankly Shöcking, member of IOF's Elite Events Committee. Almost any major city can host the event regardless of what their forest terrain is like. Organizers would actually build the orienteering terrain in the arena, constructing small hills, ponds, marshes and various other obstacles. Staging such events in arenas has worked well for the track and field, cycling, motocross, and in America for events such as "monster truck rallies". Can you imagine 60,000 spectators doing "the Wave" and cheering on the world's best orienteers? We could include betting, cheerleaders, a season-long indoor series the sky's the limit," said an enthusiastic Ms. Shöcking.
"The idea is to keep it simple," she explained. The new discipline will include the following features:
- A recommended winning time of 3 minutes (for both men and women);
- Map scale of 1:100; with a contour interval of 0.5 metre;
- Control markers of different sizes;
- Control markers hung at different heights; and
- Use of both the Emit and SportIdent timing systems.
One change competitors will notice is that three new columns will be added to their control descriptions. One new column will give information about the size of the control marker they are required to punch in at. So for example, there may be 3-4 flags visible at a given location, each of slightly different size. The control description will tell them the size of the one they are to punch at. Naturally, this will be different for each control. Likewise with the height at which the flags are hung. Also, competitors will be required to punch in with both the SportIdent and Emit systems, but an "S" or an "E" in the control description will let them know which system they should use first.
"The inclusion of these new features builds on the idea that orienteering requires not only physical prowess, but that it requires the utmost in concentration," Ms. Shöcking explained. Full details about how the competition will be organized are explained in the attached guidelines (137pages).
The IOF Elite Events Committee is also studying the feasibility of introducing a number of other disciplines, including:
- Blindfolded Orienteering which will draw on competitors' ability to use "The Force" to navigate;
- Topless Orienteering, for its' logical spectator appeal; and
- Backwards Orienteering, in which competitors will wear specially designed head gear equipped with mirrors.

Tuesday Jan 9 |
| road run 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| running to and from Westfield Street, and also down between hills. |
| road run (hills) 14:30 [4] | |
| |
| ran up Westfield Street hill twice. times were 7:12, 7:08. Felt steady, but not too fast. |
| rowing machine 11:00 [2] | |
| |
| rowed for a bit after running. Felt pretty strong, maybe because I had good music :) |
Sunday Jan 7 |
| trail run 1:06:40 [3] | |
| |
| skyline trail run with dad and Hill. Not as hard as we sometimes do it, but it's hilly enough that you can't really take it easy either. My legs felt better than I thought they would after yesterday. Another warm and sunny day. |
Saturday Jan 6 |
| road biking 1:57:00 [3] | |
| |
| went on a bike ride with Hill, mom, dad, and Ross. Biking in shorts and a tshirt in January! Something is just not right here. The bike route was busy with lots of other riders. Mom and dad rode the tandem, which meant they were really moving. For me, it was a full out sprint most of the time to keep up with everyone else. By the end, I was standing up on my bike going up the hills, and then immediately shifting and peddling as hard as I could down the other side and I was barely managing to keep up with mom and dad, and Hill. |
Friday Jan 5 |
| road run 46:00 [2] | |
| |
| ran around Newton with Ross at night. So warm, was in a tshirt and should have been in shorts. Today it's already 65F out. So much for winter!
I went to the doctors yesterday and they took an xray of my ankle. I now have an appointment on the 22nd for them to tell me what I actually did and probably offer me physical therapy. |
Thursday Jan 4 |
| trail run 10:00 [2] | |
| |
| Hill, dad and I went out to do some mapping. This was the trail jog to and from the section of the map. Hill and I have never really done any mapping before, so it wa a slow process. We didn't get very far before it was dark. |

Tuesday Jan 2 |
| trail run 1:15:00 [2] | |
| |
| long run with dad and Hill at Hale. It was dark at the end (as Hill predicted and then complained about). It was a full moon though, so it was pretty easy to see. Peaceful running in the moonlight. I tried to get Hill to stop and appreciate the silence, but she just kept on panting ;) |
