| Last day of orienteering camp. Ran around setting out puzzle pieces and then a bit of running when they were setting out their own controls. I did a lot more walking today than usual because it was hot and tired and I wasn't too worried about any of the kids. |
| road biking 1:40:00 [2] | |
| |
| I think this was supposed to be an easy workout, but biking with Hill and dad is neve easy for me. Dad set a difficult pace that I could just manage without starting to die. My legs were burning pretty much the whole time I was pedaling. We did bike to get gelato, which was really the only reason I agreed to go :) It was heavenly. |

| ok, so I think the updating of my log is complete! |

| Orienteering 34:00 [3] | |
| |
| Hill, Dad and I went to Blue Hills to run the three relay courses from years ago. We have done this workout before. It's good woods intervals running, as we know the courses pretty well, so it's all about speed. The first course is 4.8k.
It's really hot out |

| |
| The second course, after about 10 minutes of rest. This one was 3.9k (I think). On the way to number 3 I got stung by a bee :( Once I finished I complained to Dad and Hill, but there was no talk of me not doing the last loop. I hate getting stung by a bee, dealing with the pain, but not getting anything out of it :) |
| Orienteering 23:30 [3] | |
| |
| And the third loop, dragging myself out into the woods. This one was about 3.4k. Quite tired at the end and really happy that it was over :) Hill sai she was dreading the workout all day. I told her she wasn't the one who got stung by a bee and who had their toenail fall off (the toe I bruised at the Fair Hill meet finally fell off. It was so gross - I showed it to everyone :)) |

| |
| I forgot to add the time that I spent setting out controls in the Needham Town Forest for my students. Also running around making sure I didn't lose any. This group was more interesting in catching frogs than orienteering though, so most of them could be found wading into the pond. |

| Orienteering 37:00 [2] | |
| |
| Dad planned some courses in a contour rich area of Powissett, and he took the trails off the map. It seemed like good Ukriane training, but the woods were very thick. Without the trails it was quite hard to determine where you were, and since these courses were supposed to be run at speed, it was difficult. Dad set out streamers for one course, and Hill and I for another, but then we decided to bag running them. So the streamers are out there for January when the vegetation is a bit better :) |

| Orienteering 1:07:00 [2] | |
| |
| Dad, Hill and I drove the hour to Baldwin Hill, and ran a course that Dad designed. Hill and I ran the course frontwards, hanging streamers, and dad ran it backwards, hanging streamers. It was a lot easier to do when the streamers were already hung! |
| Orienteering 56:00 [2] | |
| |
| Went out on the same course again, to pick up streamers. It was easier the second time, except for #6, which I nailed the first time and got hopelessly lost on the second time. |

Monday Jul 30 |
| road run 30:00 [2] | |
| |
| running to the Dedham track with Hill, to do the same workout as last week. |
| track workout 9:00 [4] | |
| |
| Hill and I ran 3x800, each one 5 seconds faster with about 3.5 minutes rest. Aiming for 2:50, 2:45, 2:40. Last week I made the first 2 times, but ran 2:41 on the last 800. This week we were 2:48, 2:43, 2:39. Oh yeah, take that. Then we did 4x200, at 34, 36, 36, 38. Hot and humid.
It's rather daunting to start logging again.... |
