| Classic at CNYO meet on Lime Hollow map. A good run, with a few minor errors (<30sec each), mostly on leg execution. Caught Jim Eagleton at #4 and flip-flopped with him most of the rest of the way. Walter caught me at 10 (started 2 minutes later than me) - beat him in the finish chute. |

| Sprint at CNYO meet on Hope Lake Map. A few small errors, the largest of which was chasing the wrong bag on #4 (didn't look at the map long enough so didn't get the trails right). Off a bit on 2 3 and 10. Chased
Charlie up through 9 when he decided to head for a different control than 10. |

| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| Sprint 3. A few route choice errors, one of which resulted in a 6 minute error when I started searching in the wrong group of buildings. Lost the pack after the map exchange and then had trouble keeping map contact. A really nice, challenging course. |

| Farsta at Hickory Run SP as part of Sprint Festival. Split the legs with Janet with her doing the shortest possible leg (RGRR) and me doing the longest possible (GRGG). Pretty clean run with about a two minute error on the penultimate control (163 - described as the "upper boulder rocky ground junction" - Huh?). Saw very few people out there since I did the second leg. Lots more bearing and pace than I normally do, but it seemed to work. |

| Orienteering 16:00 [3] *** 2 km (8:00 / km) | |
| shoes: NB 809 |
| Picking up controls. Actually took about 22 minutes but subtracted 6 min (estimated) for taking down flags and folding them (9 contrtols). Lots of starting and stopping, but my only real workout all weekend. |
Friday Sep 8 |
| Road Run 27:12 [3] 3.1 mi (8:46 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 878 - #6 |
| Quick road run (not to be confused with a fast road run). 66S, Richmond Rd, and a bit down Reed Rd and back. This work stuff sure interferes with training. :-) |
Wednesday Sep 6 |
| Trail Run 40:05 [3] 3.67 mi (10:55 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 809 |
| Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Lots of twisting single track and plenty of hills. The mountain bikers that make some of these trails are nuts - a drop over a 1.5 meter cliff followed by a reentrant used as a half-pipe in one case. Most of the trails are more tame, although some remnants of Ernesto have increased the gnarliness in a few places. |
Monday Sep 4 |
| Road Run tempo 13:35 [4] 1.8 mi (7:32 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 878 - #6 |
| Decided I should do some speed work since the Sprint Finals are only 13 days away. :-) Pushed the pace for the middle part of the run. |
| Road Run 16:32 [3] 1.85 mi (8:55 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 878 - #6 |

Saturday Sep 2 |
| Road Run 44:16 [3] 5.0 mi (8:51 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 878 - #6 |
| From my in-laws place in southern DE. The day after tropical storm Ernesto dumped 5+ inches of rain along with 30-40mph winds (I thought about running yesterday but Janet wouldn't let me). About half on dirt (packed sand) roads. Very flat. |
