| Event: CNYO A meet
|
 | Orienteering race (Sprint -- "Old Eyes") 20:21 [5]*** 1.83 km (11:07 / km) +50m 9:47 / km | |
| spiked:13/13c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 new |
| After a downpour, sprints started during cloudy weather. The rain held off until then end of the middle course in the afternoon. Cloudy, 60's. Had a little "help" with a few controls (others were there showing their position); clean run.
|
| Orienteering race (Middle) 1:04:58 [4]*** 3.52 km (18:27 / km) +115m 15:52 / km | |
| spiked:11/13c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old) |
| Green Middle. Temps upper 60's. Messed up #9 enough that I relocated, twice, from the trail. Second relocation worked. :-) (8 min. error based on Lex's time). Then I managed to chase a bag going to #12... Could have managed 52:30 with no errors. |

| Walking 29:41 [3]2.0 mi (14:49 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2 |
| Since I didn't get out yesterday I figured I'd better at least walk today; didn't want to run because of sprint & middle distance scheduled for tomorrow. |
Wednesday Sep 20 |
| Exerc. Class 55:00 [2] | |
| |
| Knee felt marginally better today; only minor twinges while stepping (we didn't do as much today, either; more upper body work). |
Tuesday Sep 19 |
| Running (road) tempo 35:20 [4]3.0 mi (11:46 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2 |
| Malden Bridge church loop (plus a little to make it an even 3 mi.). Got a run in after the sun went away and before the rain started (still light rain at this point). I tried to keep the pace up similar to my pace during the sprints. Much faster than my typical runs around here.
Edit: Glen called this a Tempo run, so I changed the workout "type". |
Monday Sep 18 |
| Exerc. Class 55:00 [1] | |
| |
| Left knee sore enough that I put my "step" down a notch. Sharp pain on top of knee as I bent it (either to step up or to dip the right leg). This knee bothered me Saturday, too, but not Sunday (at least not that I noticed), so I assume it'll go away again. |

| Event: 2006 Sprint Series Finals
|
| Orienteering race (Sprint 1S) 22:35 [5]*** 2.4 km (9:25 / km) +40m 8:41 / km | |
| spiked:11/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old) |
| Per k time bogus because of the skipped control.
Round 1 of sprint finals. Managed to mess up #4 (misread the paved rectangles) and #13 (slow; was reading the trails too much instead of looking for the parking lot corner). And I managed to completely ignore #11 (too much oxygen debt on the long run?). Oh well, the result was my placement in the group I should have been in anyway. Fun, fun course in part open and part wood. Thanks, J-man! |
| Orienteering race (Sprint 2S) 35:26 [4]*** 2.32 km (15:16 / km) +55m 13:39 / km | |
| spiked:13/14c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old) |
| Good run except for the one I messed up (#6, long leg). Reason: I didn't stick to my plan (I was drawn in the "wrong" direction by a passing pack led by Pavlina). Ended up relocating from the road leading northeast out of the parking lot, a lot farther up than I should have been. Original plan was to go east to the trail and run the trail to the spur just before the trail junction and head NE-N from there. I just drifted too far NE to ever have a hope of hitting the trail and had to go into recovery mode (hi, Valerie!). |
| Orienteering race (Sprint Final AS & B) 29:49 [5]*** 2.54 km (11:44 / km) +80m 10:09 / km | |
| spiked:14/15c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 (old) |
| Managed to mess up #3 on the first loop (AS); started with Valerie and was not far behind her all the way to #3, but she knew which trail we were on (along the power line; I thought we were on the SE-heading trail and was confused when we were too close to the road) and she managed to correct faster and pull away after that; I never saw her again. I was passed by Maprunner between 3 and 4 but pulled ahead on the road run from 4 to 5; we traded places twice again on the second loop (she started 2 minutes behind me).
Thanks to both J-man and Randy for awesome sprint courses in very interesting terrain. |
