cycling warm up/down 1:10:00 [2]
To/from Boojum. Looks like it's about 12 miles round trip. Quite an enjoyable bike ride, actually; climbing up Fulton St. to Fulton Heights felt strangely like wandering around some of the small coastal communities in Maine or on the Elizabeth Islands.
Orienteering 1:30:00 [2]
Hanging streamers for the course at Boojum. Went out for about 15 minutes, during which time I only hung the first two controls, then I came back because I was expecting people to be there. Turned out the only people to show up were MC, Patty, and Nikolai. MC and Patty only did controls 1&2 anyway, so I could almost have not bothered hanging any more streamers. Nikolai did the first 9, and being as there were 18, I decided to leave them up in hopes someone else might be able to make use of them. Plus I wasn't quite up to the additional hour or so that it would have taken to take them down. Maybe I'll make it out sometime this week to run the course.

soccer (turf) 30:00 [2]
shoes: adidas predator mania TF
I should really be better at sticking to my resolutions, but here I am playing soccer. Felt really tired.

Thursday Jun 28

cycling warm up/down 2:00:00 [2] *
Out to Prospect Hill, then back via Newtonville to pick up some NEOC maps. I definitely need a light for my bike.
Orienteering 1:05:00 [3] ***
shoes: Adidas Novas
Alexei's course at Prospect Hill. Worst navigation I've done in a while. Arrived late, having been caught up with various administrative crap. Alexei shadowed me for the first 4 controls, the first three of which I completely bombed. Then I was ok on 4, 5 and 6, overshot 7, didn't pay attention at all on 9, or 10. I think some combination of going out too fast since the first leg was a trail run up the hill to the other end of the map and giving blood yesterday worked against me, but it was just a bad run.

Note
(rest day)
Unintentional rest day. I gave blood at 5pm and didn't get up on time to run before I went in to lab.

Tuesday Jun 26

running intervals (track/road) 1:05:00 7.9 mi (8:14 / mi)
Another track workout at Harvard with the CSU running section. After the standard warmup (4x[100m jogging, 100m strides]), the plan was 800m @ 8k pace, then 2x(600,600,400,400,200)@3k pace with 200m jogging rest between everything. Oh, and a "magic 1200" afterwards. They wanted to go at 80s/400m for 8k and 75s/400m for 3k, but my paces are more like 95/90, so I decided to take everything slower and try to keep up with the distance for as long as I could. I ended up doing what you see below. I was not feeling magical.

Dist / Time / Rest
800m / 2:48.6 / 1:50.6
600m / 2:06.1 / 1:32.3
600m / 2:10.0 / 1:30.2
400m / 1:25.6 / 2:00.9
200m / 0:41.8 / 2:15.4
200m / 0:40.1 / 2:09.0
400m / 1:30.3 / 2:05.2
400m / 1:29.2 / 5:45.6
400m / 1:24.1 / 1:49.1
200m / 0:40.9

Note: since I cut some stuff short, the latter rests are not all jogging.

So if my 8k pace is 95s/400m, then the 800m should have been 3:10, and if my 3k pace is 90s/400m, then the 600s should have been 2:15. A little fast overall. Tried to stick to a 2 in/2 out breathing cadence, but I felt like I was working too much to breath that fast. Terry suggested trying 3 in/2 out, so maybe I'll give that a shot next time.

I'm going to try logging my warm-up, etc all in one session, although it would be cool if my pace were logged individually for each intensity. I counted the 200s as intensity 5, everything else as 4 (strides as 4). Is this mixed intensity intended to be used in this way?

Mileage is a bit of a guess for warmup/down. (Estimated 8:30 pace).

strength 32:00

Mostly upper with a bit of core. Got cut short by closing time, so I did some more core at home.
