Saturday Dec 10 | ||
| Event: WCOC - Sessions Woods C-Meet & Sprint | ||
| orienteering 28:23 [3] 2.1 km (13:31 / km) | |
| weight:143lbs shoes: new Integrators | ||
| WCOC local meet at Sessions. A foot or more of new snow. Decided to do the sprint first, Put out a decent effort, spiked every control, right about 14 min/km! Don't have my snow legs yet.
Phil got me by a few seconds. Bravo! I'd been telling him the time was coming. He may had had a little advantage of going after me, but he's still improved a lot. Have to see if I can make him wait a while before he gets me again. :-) | ||
| orienteering 1:11:40 [3] 5 km (14:20 / km) | |

| Wimped out of doing the Red course, gave some consideration to Orange or Brown, and finally settled on Green. More tracks this time (even one person ahead of you makes a difference), but the course went in the hillier/crappier, slower terrain south of the stream, so the kilometer time was even slower. Again, hit all the controls. Would be interesting to run this at the end of winter (and after a lot of running in the snow) to see how much easier it was.
Nice courses by Charlie, and a super effort to pull off the meet, though I might have said the hell with the red (nd green) courses if I'd been out there hanging controls in the storm yesterday. At least all his controls passed the snowstorm test -- after a foot of snow they were still all nicely visible. Imagine if this had been Fallen Leaf Lake.... Routes/comments. Probably the last orienteering of the year. Need to figure out plans for going to San Diego next month and get entry in this week. | ||

Friday Dec 9 | ||
| road running 57:08 [3] | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 | ||
| In Litchfield, waiting for the storm to end before driving home, figured I might as well get a run in. It quit snowing about 2 minutes after I started, within 30 minutes quite a bit of blue sky and sunshine. Very pretty, everyone I saw was friendly, had a wave and a greeting, running was varied, mostly semi-packed snow, a few sections of deeper stuff (about a foot had come down in just a few hours).
Then headed home, though it took me a while to get out of the driveway -- uphill, backwards, through a foot of snow. Didn't make it, came back down, tried to turn around, got stuck, had to shovel for a few minutes, got turned around, and then just barely made it out, including busting through the 2+ foot berm by the road. The joys of winter. | ||
Thursday Dec 8 | ||
| mapping 2:00:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 | ||
| At West Point, field checking for the sprint in May (Saturday afternoon at West Point's A meet). Should be a good course, less climb than last time... :-) | ||
Wednesday Dec 7 | ||
| trail running 1:11:40 [3] +485m | |
| weight:144lbs shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 | ||
| With Phil at the the Notch. Mostly at a relaxed pace, though Phil said at the outset that he assumed we would go to the top of Mt. Norwottuck since we were here. I talked him out of doing it right at the start, so we did a pleasant trip along the north, east, and south sides, but then to the top it was, something you enjoy more for having done it than for any pleasure while you were doing it.
Still a little snow, but good traction. Wore my clown suit -- blue hat, red shirt, green gloves, blue and yellow pants -- and didn't get shot at even once. | ||
Tuesday Dec 6 | ||
| trail running 1:15:44 [3] | |
| weight:145lbs shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 | ||
| At the Quabbin, similar to last Wednesday with Phil but in the opposite direction and didn't do the section to the east. A couple inches of snow, a vehicle had been over part of it but good footing even where there were no tracks. A few deer tracks, lots of coyote, and one set of what I think was moose tracks. But they were all keeping their distance.
Worked pretty hard, not that I was going very fast, but kept up a decent effort all the way. Or maybe the legs were just not there and I was just dogging it. Who knows.... | ||
Monday Dec 5 | ||
| road running 48:49 [2] 5.2 mi (9:23 / mi) | |
| weight:144lbs shoes: Pegasus 10/05 | ||
| South Sugarloaf and back, mostly on snowpack. Traction going up was decent, certainly better than I thought it would be. Relaxed pace. | ||
Sunday Dec 4 | ||
| orienteering 1:31:25 [3] 8.8 km (10:23 / km) +200m 9:20 / km | |
| weight:144lbs shoes: new Integrators | ||
| NEOC Club Champs at Townsend. Not so much energy today, but I kept plugging away ok except for 5-10 minutes through some crap and then uphill (to #6) where I just didn't have the necessary desire.
Was cold and wet after I finished. Took a while to get my shoe laces untied, but finally got changed into dry clothes. Didn't know who else had run Blue, and didn't really feel like waiting around, plus I was really hungry. So shortly I was partaking of a late (and large breakfast) -- eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, toast, juice, coffee. A bit of an overdose, which I'm still feeling, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do. I can't remember the last time I left a meet without talking to someone else who had run the course. Routes/comments. | ||
