Sunday Jun 1

Running (road/dirt) 39:00 [2] 4.1 mi (9:31 / mi)
shoes: Gus
Morning run around the bike path before work. Yes, that's right, it's Sunday. Just one of the perks.

Sex and the City (1)

Opening night, never seen a theater so full of women and never seen so many heels at the El Con.

If you're not a fan, it's probably a 0.

Note
The Tucson Orienteering Club's 2007 income was $3020.82. The club spent more than it brought in, partially by way of sending $585.50 to USOF, expending a measly $448.38 on mapping, and throwing away a whopping $1203.73 on the newsletter. Twelve. Hundred. Dollars.

It almost seems criminal to spend thirty-nine percent of our income on mailing out a paper newsletter. Do other clubs spend that much?

Running warm up/down (track) 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
ahr:156 max:178 shoes: Gus
Warm up (3 laps) and down (1 lap) for the run.
Running race (track) 10:18 [4] 1.5 mi (6:51 / mi) vdot: 43.5
ahr:191 max:198 shoes: Gus
1.5 mile run for my annual fitness test. I only need to run 11:24 to max it out (50 points), so it's hard to motivate myself to run to the point of "hurts like death". I haven't been sleeping lately, and I've had very long days at work trying to get a good handoff from the guy who's leaving. So, I considered going for a 10 min run if that didn't hurt too much, and I started at that pace... but I wasn't convinced, so I figured I might as well save my energy for the situps and pushups to come.

400m splits:
1:40 1:43 1:41 1:42 1:44 1:46

All laps came up about 410m on the FR. Pretty consistent to be just noise, and I wasn't always in the inner lane, so it could be pretty close. An extra 60m (well, slightly less, since 1.5mi is actually longer than 2400m anyway...) should be worth a few extra points on the pushups. ;-)
Strength/Core 2:00 [3]
Maxed the situps (only needed 47) but really caved on the pushups - only 31. Of course, that's 8.75 points, so not too shabby anyway. Another 10 pushups would have been max at 10 points, which seems like a lot of work for only 1.25 points.

Run: 10:18 = 50 pts
BMI < 25 = 30 pts
Situps: 47 = 10 pts
Pushups: 31 = 8.75
===============
Total: 98.75

Some year I'll actually do some pushups to train so that I can get 100.

Running (dirt) 36:30 [2] 4.0 mi (9:07 / mi)
ahr:161 max:177 shoes: Gus
Went to WOG and ran around. I didn't really think it was prudent to try to do a hard workout tonight, so I didn't. Ran a short viola loop fora warmup and then ran the 8x400 workout with Cheryl at her pace (about 2 min), which was a nice way to have company and do a not boring, varied pace recovery run.

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [1]
shoes: Paul
Really light trotting around in the warm-up area with the map. I had a lot of energy this morning, feeling pretty pumped and ready to rock the long. I realized last night that I was totally over my fear and loathing of long courses.
Orienteering race 1:21:58 [4] *** 8.4 km (9:45 / km) +365m 8:01 / km
ahr:181 max:196 spiked:12/18c shoes: Paul
A really nice day. Felt really good physically and mentally, and managed to stay focused and push through the course. I think the cautious approach from yesterday rubbed off on me, because despite the much higher visibility I didn't hesitate to pick good attackpoints, stick to them, and take the approach into the control as slowly as I needed to. It felt good to keep nailing the controls, and I had good flow transitioning leg to leg.

Had two small errors - not pushing high enough on 5 and pushing too high on 13, but they were little problems and quickly corrected.

Started second, three minutes behind Pavlina, not expecting to see her ahead of me and hoping not to see anyone else behind me. Much to my surprise, saw her popping into the woods across the power line on the way to 8 and I'm pretty sure I did a double take. I probably had some kind of really confused look on my face as I searched my memory to see if I'd maybe skipped a control. Passed her on the way to 9 and didn't see anybody else until Hillary passed me with three controls to go.

A lot of people seemed to really hate the woods today. I can't say it was awesome terrain, but I liked it. I guess I didn't mind the rocky ground, and I thought all the pockets of greener stuff and mish-mash of trails and the section of buildings and streets made it interesting. And often the woods were fun to run through. It probably helps that I was having a good run, and also that I didn't think it was hot. (Wimps.)

Sam at the top again in 69:31... so I'm still a ways back. But third US today was a good reward for a run that felt good.
