| running (treadmill) 27:30  **** 3.5 mi (7:51 / mi) | |
| shoes: Mizuno WR VI 07 |
| Raining pretty hard outside, so I went over to Hemenway. 3 miles at 1.5 incline followed by 6x30sec strides. Took along a map from O Today (from Spain I think?) with a course I drew on it. Not the most interesting thing ever. I don't think I've ever seen a map with the "rough open with scattered trees" symbol actually printed as yellow dots.
Felt like I was working hard, but had no trouble breathing and no stomach problems despite having eaten basically nothing since lunch (run was at 10pm). |

| Well, now that my major goal for the year (WUOC) is out of my hands, I'll have to think about what to do next. Train for Tiomila, I guess. Rather unfortunate to have gotten sick at the last minute. Still can't believe I skipped that control. |

| Had 1 mistake on #8, and apparently a slightly unfavorable route choice on #7. Basically I just don't run fast enough for this place. Again, drank at every water control. |

| Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [2] ** 2.5 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| spiked:3/4c shoes: Nike Terra Ridge 07 |
| I decided to go out on the warm-up map before the morning race. Probably a mistake as the terrain is dead easy and I could have used my half-hour of energy on the course. |
| Orienteering race 1:11:00 [3] ** 7.8 km (9:06 / km) +250m 7:51 / km | |
| spiked:11/14c shoes: Nike Terra Ridge 07 |
| Had absolutely no energy for this. I was gasping for breath the whole way. Had a small mistake on #1, then I evidently neglected to go to #4, which explains why #5 seemed so wrong. Probably would have been around 1:07 without that; too slow in any case. According to WinSplits the only control I lost time on was #10, which I spiked. I guess walking up a hill doesn't work wonders for your time. First time I've drunk at 3 water controls and taken 2 gus in a race this short. |
| Orienteering race (sprint) 21:02 [5] ** 2.9 km (7:15 / km) | |
| spiked:12/14c shoes: Nike Terra Ridge 07 |
| Went out too fast and blew #2 and #3, which was ~2:15, I guess. Again, really tired. |

| Compass training at Arthur Pack Park. Went pretty well. I felt tired, but more or less well again. |
| Orienteering (trail-o) 1:00:00 [0] *** | |
| |
| Trail-o at Arthur Pack Park. I won, with 11 seconds on the timed controls. I guess that gives me a pretty good trail-o ranking. |

| running 37:30  4.6 mi (8:09 / mi) | |
| shoes: Mizuno WR VI 07 |
| Thought it might be a good idea to do some EQ training, so I went over to the indoor track planning to do something like 8x400m. Of course, I woke up too late to eat breakfast this morning so I ate lunch at 12pm and had a couple of small apples between then and 5:30. Didn't work out too well. Stomach cramped up after the 3rd 400m, so I just jogged around for a while, did 3x200m and went home. Right hip feeling weird again. |

| Ross's Cambridge street-o starting from my place. Turns out Dean used to live in my apartment. Weird. Anyway, pretty good run. Ross kept making mistakes so I was ahead of him heading into Harvard, and I stayed ahead, although I sort-of skipped #4 (actually, it looked like an inaccessible location. I assumed it was since Ross clearly hadn't field checked anything, so I just went on.) |

| Treadmill at Hemenway since it was late. Took along a map with Rachel Elder's route from some race in Spain(?). Felt pretty weak. Something felt weird in my right hip. |

| slept:9.5 shoes: Mizuno WR VI 07 |
| Was planning to do a longer run at the Fells but didn't have time. Felt kind of sick yesterday and even though I'm feeling healthy now I'm tired, presumably as a result. I felt pretty lethargic during the run. |

| swimming/DWR 30:00 [3] 1 km (30:00 / km) | |
| |
| Once again I am reminded of my miserable ability in the pool. Was actually in the water for ~55 minutes, but I can't really swim continuously in a meaningful way for more than a few minutes, so I took some rest after every few laps. Did a good amount of freestyle and breast, plus some kickboarding. My (brand new) goggles broke. How disappointing. |
