 | Orienteering 1:22:12 [3]** 9.6 km (8:34 / km) | |
| shoes: Integrators pair 1 |
| Training event at Greenland open space - on a USGS map. Mostly open with good visibility, but the top of the ridge had some intricate details (at least at the level that the map could show!). "Controls" were surveying tape which were sometimes difficult to see. |
| Course Setting 1:30:00 [1]*** | |
| |
| Flagging the last few controls at Cherry Creek. |

Training - Splits |
Friday Apr 4 |
| Cycling 20:53 [2]4.04 mi (5:10 / mi) | |
| |
| Bike commute. On the way home I got told by a passenger in a car that I should be on the sidewalk! |
Thursday Apr 3 |
| Cycling 18:30 [2]3.76 mi (4:54 / mi) | |
| |
| Commute - cold and drizzly on the way in. |
| Running 1:22:44 [3] | |
| shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascend |
| Lookout Mountain (Chimney Gulch trail). Made it all the way to the top this time. A bit icy on the upper part. 50:18 up, 1:18 rest at the top, 31:08 down. Comparing this with when I last did the full thing (February 2006 - before I lived in Colorado), I'm surprised to see that I was only 3 minutes slower on the ascent this time. |
| Note | |
| |
| After the run we went to see the Colorado School of Mines firework display - engineering students blowing things up! |
Wednesday Apr 2 |
| Cycling 22:45 [2]4.51 mi (5:02 / mi) | |
| |
| Commute - plus a bit extra.
This bike commuting is great - not adding much to my training per-se (and not helped by the fact that the entire journey is on roads with lots of stop lights), but it means that I'm logging something every day! |
Tuesday Apr 1 |
| Cycling 18:37 [2]3.79 mi (4:54 / mi) | |
| |
| Bike commute. |
| Running 48:35 [4]5.2 mi (9:20 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics (pair 3) |
| Washington park workout - counter clockwise this week. |
Monday Mar 31 |
| Cycling 21:05 [2]3.91 mi (5:23 / mi) | |
| |
| Bike commute. Snowy in the morning, but all the roads were clear. Sleeting in the evening. Not very fast in either direction (especially going home). |
| Swimming 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| Really only did this to see how many different activities I could fit into March, but it was probably good for me after the long hike on Saturday plus a long time at Cherry Creek on Sunday. |
Sunday Mar 30 |
| Course Setting 4:00:00 [1]*** | |
| |
| More work at Cherry Creek State Park. I was actually there about 6.5 hours today, but don't feel I can justify putting down more than about 4. Thankfully the rain and snow in the weather forecast didn't happen, and it was sunny (if windy). |
