9 AM
Exerc. Class 55:00 [1]
In Chatham. Felt good to stretch, but noticed slight but new soreness in back of left leg (where hamstring attaches to glutes? -- in any case, whatever is activated when you do an "arabesque"). Will have to watch so as not to overdo it this week.

9 AM
Orienteering race (Brown long) 1:18:49 [4] *** 4.5 km (17:31 / km) +180m 14:36 / km
spiked:9/11c slept:7.0 shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
No disaster like on the sprint, though I did manage to be not clean on the control after the biggest climb (to no. 3, 10 contours) but only a few minutes lost there. Another 3-5 lost on no. 5 when I didn't check my compass going down a hill and was too far left. I was lucky there was a good catching feature but I had a climb of a contour or two back up to my cliff. Temp in 70s at start, in 80s by finish, and reached 92 afterward. Hot!
In F55 I was in second behind Lena Perrson who was fastest on the course in 61 minutes! There were a couple of M60s at 65 and George H. of HVO beat me by a minute.
[added FR track; 5.59 km on watch]

Event: USMA West Point A-Meet 2010
8 AM
Walking warm up/down 20:00 [1]
shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Walk to start, with a hill climb ( but then it was mostly out of the way). Warm morning, had a bit of time at start to steady heart.
9 AM
Orienteering race (Brown middle) 47:55 [4] **** 3.1 km (15:27 / km) +90m 13:30 / km
spiked:9/11c slept:7.0 shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Day 1 Brown. I read ahead on almost all controls, though I missed # 4 about 50-60m to the right and relocated off features 100m west. Then I made a dumb decision to drop to the road for the go control when I should have stayed high because of a 1+ contour climb back up. 1st in F55; a Swedish girl had more trouble with a couple of controls.
FR - 3.90 km

Orienteering race (O/B/G sprint) 20:10 [5] *** 2.0 km (10:05 / km) +65m 8:40 / km
spiked:14/15c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Sprint starting the tennis courts wsw of parking. Doing great (despite the partial distraction of knowing Sharon C started just a minute behind. Never saw her until after I finished...
BUT
I missed a control (mp). After a climb, I mistook an index contour for the leg connector line and missed number 13 of 15.
Comparing splits with Sharon I think I could have finished in the 21:15-21:30 range, which would have been great.
Tomorrow is another day.
Add FR track (2.33 recorded).

Note
Arm exercise? Mowed the lawn using the ready-for-the-season riding lawn tractor with new battery! Takes 1.5 hours to do the entire lawn.
Last year the first cut of the season took over 2 hours, partly because the tractor kept stalling out in tall grass. I don't know if it was the new oil filter installed last summer or the new battery but it purred right along today--thanks to my live-in mechanic!
Saw a turkey in the back field (beyond what we mow) yesterday and again this morning. Lots of goldfinches and cardinals at the feeder (need to use up this season's bird seed) plus a few red-wing blackbirds and a woodpecker or two. Haven't yet hung the hummingbird feeder - need to do that next week.
Also saw some tiny white flowers in amongst the other wildflowers (weeds to some) that grow in our lawn...they looked like miniature pansies with their central striations, but they're only about 1/4" across! Will have to investigate farther.

Pilates class 55:00 [1]
At the Y, using bands. Hard work on upper body.
11 AM
Running (treadmill) warm up/down 11:25 [3] 1.0 mi (11:25 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
Watching Millionnaire. The first contestant won $100,000, and the second was on his way to $25,000 without having used any lifelines when I left. Smart cookies.
Running (track) intervals 20:50 1.78 mi (11:42 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
Intervals on track at the Y. While my times were similar to last week, I didn't "feel" nearly as strong and smooth. Legs even felt wobbly at times, though I can't figure out why. Sometimes it's just different. So I only did 5 repeats (345m or 3 laps around, followed by ~2:00 recovery, or 2 laps around):
1:57 - 2:05
1:57 - 2:05
1:57 - 2:07
1:59 - 2:18 (stopped for some water)
1:58 - 2:26 (stopped to check my pulse after last interval, ~150)
I've been trying to run these with my shoulders back/chest high for additional air to the lungs (and running more on toes?); while it feels strange, I'm starting to get used to it.
Now, if I can just remember the right mantras for O this weekend...

10 AM
Pilates class 55:00 [1]
At the Y, using weights and balls. Roll-ups getting easy as is the pilates-100.
11 AM
Running (treadmill) 17:20 [3] 1.5 mi (11:33 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
Run on the treadmill at the Y, trying to go about 3 miles. The treadmills at the end of the room that I normally go to were all busy so I used on at the other (older) end of the room, which tends to be warmer. No fans running, and I was getting hot, so I decided to walk after this distance.
Walking (treadmill) 14:48 [2] 1.0 mi (14:48 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
Inclines between 2.5 and 5.5.
Walking warm up/down (treadmill) 4:29 [1] 0.25 mi (17:57 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 # 3
