| Running warm up/down 5:00 [2] | ||
| Got to TG late - very brief warm-up for 2 sprints. | ||
| C • Happy Anniversary!!! 1 | ||
| Orienteering race 26:00 [4] | ||
| Low and High of sprint courses. (Total time estimated)
7 of us showed up to run Sprints in Tower Grove park - Thanks to Eric and Dave. #1: Wobbly start to controls 1 and 2 connecting map to ground. Went to wrong feature at 2 - MP and DQ - oops. "pavement on left side of sidewalk" =/ "bridge on right side of sidewalk". Ran rest of course smoothly. Rob (-1 minute) did not pass me until 8th of 11 controls. Slow time: 13:48 - 5th of 7. #2: Fun design by Eric. Handicapped start based on first race. His stagger algorithm worked well - 5 of 7 of us entered 2nd half of course, the "micro" loop on 1:1000 map, very close together. I passed Matt at 1; Mark and Rudy passed me before 8; I then passed Fran after 8. From 9 to 'flip map' at 10, I studied "micro loop" - it helped! Rob beats me to 10. I see Mark ahead on red line to 11 (my route too), Rudy has disappeared (ran hard east, not SE), Rob runs road on right. I see Mark punch 11; Rob beats me to it again. 12, 13, 14,15: Stay closer than expected to Mark, Rob, and Bill who has moved into 2nd. From 5, Mark and I chose shorter route - left; Rob and Bill chose right - lose 20 seconds. As Mark nears (within 5 m) of 16 (last control), he stops - befuddled. Will he stop long enough? Yes! I turn into 16 and sprint 30 m to victory - weird! Mark, then Bill and Rob finish close behind. Strained hamstring - worth it:). | ||
| C • Got splits? :) 4 | ||
Sprint1 - Splits | ||
Tuesday May 15 | ||
| Running 33:33 [2] | ||
| Slow run in Forest Park - warm, humid before cold front moved in - sluggish today, but sure glad I'm running again ("Keep it up!").
Hoped for 40 minutes - not today. Saw start of Williams/Gustie Div III quarterfinal Team tennis match. Rain Delay. (Williams lost later) | ||
