| Red course at Nobscot. They had e-punching set up, but ironically we still had to copy our maps. Not only that, I copied my map from a pre-printed version. Anyway, nice day for orienteering - cool, cloudy, no rain yet. Had a pretty good run, especially considering I had a huge bubble in my compass that rendered it all but useless (misplaced my new one). |

| Over at Long Pond. Mapping is really f-ing hard. On the other hand, I can see how it's really good for you. Kudos to anyone who has ever made a good map. I should come back here in the (late) fall, and bring the aerial photo with me next time. Meanwhile I'll stick to Tufts. |

| Ran on trails with a 1:10k version of the contours after walking around stupefied. Had my backpack with me which kind of sucked. Really humid; massive sweating. |

| Over to Long Pond. Back was mostly downhill, so doesn't really count. |

| strength (lower back) 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| Was going to go over to Hemenway for a circuit, but ended up pouring agar into petri dishes until 8:30 and by then the gym was closed. Then my laptop decided to have a massive hardware failure, resulting in my not printing the version of long pond I was planning to run on tomorrow. Maybe I'll go to soccer practice after all? |

Monday May 28 |
| Orienteering (long) 1:14:42 [2]***** 7.1 km (10:31 / km) | |
| spiked:3/7c shoes: Adidas Novas |
| I wanted a course with long legs, so that was what I designed. I think it was about 7k, so there were some pretty long legs in there. Hard to spike such a leg; definitely possible to do better than I did. Found my concentration slipping constantly in the middle. After that it was downhillier, which was easier on my body so I was thinking a bit better. I think being exhausted from Saturday and Sunday was one of my problems, but I also need to break each leg up so that I'm not trying to think about a whole 1.4k at once.
People seemed to really like this course even though there were only 2 legs <800m long. I found it to be good practice for something I really suck at - concentrating without a control every 200m. |

| Training Camp Postmortem
I think everyone had a great time, and got in a lot of orienteering. Probably next time we should schedule time for discussion and course analysis. This weekend we had maybe a little too much running, not leaving enough time to really make the best of it with some post-run discussion. In addition to not being on the schedule, it also wasn't something we pushed enough. But overall I think it was a quality weekend and certainly turned out better than I ever expected.
Having awesome hosts and great company for camping, eating, and touring the lake really turned this into one of the best O-weekends I can remember. Thanks everyone! |
