trail running 1:56:37 [4] 14.0 mi (8:20 / mi)

Mt. Toby race, 14 miles. Went out too fast, bonked big-time. A most unpleasant run!

warm-up

road running 43:03 [5] 6.21 mi (6:56 / mi)

Shelburne Falls 10K, cooler, but still warm. Felt not great, not terrible, only ran because I'd signed up a month ago (and to see a few friends). Splits: 6:45, 6:42, 9:04 (steep uphill!), 6:16 (down), 6:43, 6:19 (down), 1:14. Getting slower every year -- last year 42:45, best on course 39+.

I had forgotten about the deer flies....

Wednesday Aug 8, 2001 #

trail running 1:12:56 [2] 8.0 mi (9:07 / mi)

Welcome back to humidity! Dewpoint was 74 and energy level and enthusiasm were low. Highlight was stopping to try to cool off in a waterfall....

Saturday Aug 4, 2001 #

orienteering 39:09 [5] 4.2 km (9:19 / km)

Started the day with a slim lead over the Frenchman who beat me a couple of weeks earlier and a bit more over a Finn. Figured I could lose by 2 minutes and be OK, 3 minutes would be not good.

Ended up second on the day to the Frenchman, 2:19 behind. Just good enough to squeak out first overall by a couple of points. A good run, no mistakes (well, maybe 15 seconds), but my legs weren't there on the uphills. Fortunately the course ended (as most do in Switzerland) with some wicked downhill and I can still run those pretty well.

(By the way, Sharon took first in D55, very easily. I think she won 5 of 6 days.)

Gail was 9th in France, mid-40's in Sweden (a couple of minutes behind Linda Kohn), and 29th in Switzerland.

Amazingly, neither of us came back with any significant ailments/injuries despite 16 events in 20 days. It helps when the courses are on the short side...

Friday Aug 3, 2001 #

orienteering 23:44 [5] 2.6 km (9:08 / km)

Day 5, short course. First, by about 30 seconds. Missed early (1.5 minutes?), then ran perfect. Really a neat short course -- all sorts of variations in terrain. Wicked hot again.

Wednesday Aug 1, 2001 #

orienteering 36:01 [5] 4.3 km (8:23 / km)

Day 4, near San Bernadino pass in Switzerland. 4th (but 6 minutes behind!). Pretty good run (1 minute errors), but early start and lots of tall grass (winner ran very late). Hard work as the air was a little thin (about 5,000'). but at least it wasn't as hot.
