 | Orienteering race 54:22 [4]6.7 km (8:07 / km) | |
| ahr:144 max:185 rhr:50 shoes: Jalas2 |
| Motala: Street-O -- Yellow -- Orange, extrapolated time, because on the last loop, Andy handed me a White map, which I did not notice until I finished. After about 2 minutes to reset my HRM from recovery mode, I did the Orange loop, so the time of 54:22 is the total time for St-Y-W-O less the time I think I spent on White. |
| Orienteering race 10:20 [4]1.6 km (6:27 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas2 |
| Estimated time. It wasn't until the end of the White that the thought occurred to me, "These legs weren't of Orange difficulty."
Some of the legs or controls were the same as on Yellow, and the thought occurred to me of Groundhog-O, doing the same leg again and again until you can execute it flawlessly at top speed. |
| Mountain biking 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| Exploring an area near Worcester/Holden line called Nick's Woods, that I had a bit of trouble finding. Some of it was ridable (downhill), some was wet, none was too technical or dangeous. When the ground dries up, it might actually be a fun place for a novice MTBer like me. |

| CMS Wachusett Reservoir 5K. Went out intending to hold a moderate pace, but something about people passing me must have ignited the competitive spirit. :-) Lost 10-15s retying a shoe (grr), but eventually repassed all those who passed me while l was idle. Once again, able to climb the hills OK, faster than those around me, though it didn't seem so fast. (It wouldn't be fast to orienteers or other trail runners, I bet. The same speed ascents at the trail race last Sunday would have been pedestrian, at best.)
Hustled out after the race without a cooldown, to see a theatrical presentation at WPI of "The Princess Bride" -- inconceivable! |
| trail runnung warm up/down 15:00 [1]1.0 mi (14:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Salomon trail shoes |
| Out the main spur from gate 8 to the shore of the reservoir and back. The view north across the reservoir to Route 12? in Sterling? is one I had never enjoyed before. |

| Road running 34:03 [2]4.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| ahr:151 max:167 shoes: BA6 |
| Out and back on Salisbury St at twilight. Saw several runners. This was a popular time to be out after a scorcher of a day with temps in the mid-high 90's. At twilight it was a humid and warm 75-ish, so I sweated plenty. |
Monday Jun 9 |
| Road running 42:00 [1]4.5 mi (9:20 / mi) | |
| shoes: BA7 |
| Out and back from Daniel's karate lesson. Still pretty warm at 5:30 in the afternoon. |
