| Event: West Point A meet
|
 | Orienteering 1:18:00 [4] | |
| |
| First day of West Point. Was slow and hesitant on 1 and 2 and really blew 3 by running downthe hillside without looking closely at my compass and then having a hard time relocating. After that though, it went pretty well. |
| Orienteering 20:44 [4] | |
| |
| Sprint race. Went well - except for trying to cut next to some green, but the green went further over than I thought and was really thick. Got so stuck in briars that I had to stand there and pick them off myself so I could move - lost a minute doing that! |

| |
| Fastest time ever on the Wilson Mountain loop, with HR around 180, not much higher. I usually barely break 14:00 so this was quick. |

| |
| Fresh Pond Sprint - maybe after the Wilson Mountain run I was tired, but I made a few silly mistakes like over running #1 and I had some trouble climbing in the mud since I didn't wear my oshoes and it was raining. Dropped the map once and stepped on it, so had to wipe the mud off the map. Ross and John ran around 14:00 and Viktoria got me at 17:07. |

| ran 4 1200s on the track with about 4 minutes rest between. HR around 185. Had the HR monitor on upsidedown, which explains why it wasn't reading so well. Who know that even mattered. Times: 4:39, 4:38, 4:35, 4:33. A bit faster than the last time I did this workout. |

Monday May 1 |
| road/trail run 37:09 [2] | |
| |
| I forgot to put my running clothes in the car this morning, so I came back to Newton to go running after work today. Ran around Newton with a Denmark map. Made up a course for myself. Twice I had to slow down to a brisk walk to get the contours right.... |
Sunday Apr 30 |
| Orienteering 1:34:50 [4] 11.4 km (8:19 / km) | |
| |
| I set a goal yesterday of 95 minutes today - and I just made it! A MUCH better day than yesterday, although still not perfect. The trail running let me read ahead enough so that I knew what I was doing. Took the wrong route choice to #3 (going low on the trails) and then lost 4 minutes on #7. It took me 5.5 minutes and 1.5 for everyone else! It was a simiar mistake from yesterday, where I went in off a trail into indistinct terrain. Came out the other side and paced with a bearing and I found it. After that I ran the trail to 8 and planned all my other long leg route choices. Which made the flow really nice and I started to gain time in the end, as I was pushing up the last hill to make 95 minutes. Won the course today! |
