| A loop around the lake, without Kolya this time--he was feeling ill today. The lake was very beautiful in the morning. |
Tuesday Sep 20 |
| trail running 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| Ran around the lake with Kolya (lake loop took about 35:10 for me, starting from the edge of the lake closest to the road, probably was my record time of this loop so far). No beaver signs this time. |

| orienteering 2:44:00 [3] 7.8 km (21:02 / km) +175m 18:54 / km | |
| shoes: Pro I O-Shoe |
| A lengthy and miserable red course at Hickory Run. Control #3 was placed in a dry swamp in small patch of white woods in the middle of dense mountain laurel/briar field. A not very precise attack from the rocky ground at the edge of a reentrant resulted in a lengthy search/reattack/search/reattack cycle all the while crawling through the dense mountain laurel... While my orienteering on the rest of the course was better, the woods were not. |

| Orienteering training with John Campbell at Hickory Run. The beginning involved discussion of US Champs courses from ~3 weeks ago, which was followed by a control-moving sprint-O. My team (Jeremy, Julia and myself) came second to Clem-Angelica duo. |
| orienteering 2:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Hickory run orienteering training in the afternoon involved a line-O (a pretty lame countouring exercise on a featureless rocky and overgrown hillside), followed by a 10-control course using a contour-only map. The latter was a much more interesting, although a rather difficult exercise. |
| orienteering (Night-O) 1:41:00 [3] | |
| |
| Night-O. Definitely a successful venture, given the dense vegetation and the fact that my light broke during the course. Very luckily, the black-out happened exactly at the first control, which allowed me to stumble back to the camp, then to the cabin, and find a replacement light bulb in the dark, and then continue on the course. I guess this adventure had to have taken 20-30 min? Not sure. I can't imagine what I would have done if the light went out between controls or any other place on the course. |

| "Intervals" again. It is official--all machines seem to have been programmed to have a max time of 25 min--arghh!... |
Tuesday Sep 13 |
| treadmill running 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Got to do some unintended intervals, as the machines were programmed for a max of 25 min, of which I was trying to make 30 min by manually upping the speed of the mandatory 5 min cooldown... |
