| cooler, but still humid, am re-run of Saturdays second sprint. Took my brain with me this time. No flags, so just touch & go, but ran it on 10k map (yellow+) for additional map reading exercise. Much improved time, only a few minor execution errors, still didn't feel as fast as I would have liked, physically slowing too much in last couple minutes - I guess my fitness just sucks... |
| Note | |
| |
| A sprint update by Boris and I jump 210 places in the rankings to 32nd. Feeling much better now though if I hadn't blown FP#2 on Saturday I'd into the 20's.
Great opportunity this weekend at Harriman but looking unlikely I'll make it due to a number of family things this weekend. But more opportunities later in June... perhaps I'll take it easy at MTW and save it for Bethel... |

| Event: Forest Park Sprints
|
| Orienteering - Event race (Forest Park Sprint 1) 23:04 [5]3.05 km (7:34 / km) +100m 6:30 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas Champion |
| decent run, warmth & humidity sapping strength on hills, third behind PG & JF.
race - no splits though - reset watch when going for 2nd |
| Orienteering - Event race (Forest Park Sprint 2) 39:29 [3]3.5 km (11:17 / km) +115m 9:41 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas Champion |
| very brief rest, then out for 2nd. Didn't take time to prep - just tossed punch card & desc into map case. Left my brain behind at the start.....
Not focused, made errors on first 4 controls - bad routes (missed obvious L choice on 1), ran down lots of unmapped trails, too much avoidable climb, didn't read #4 as being halfway down hill etc - was probably close to 20 minutes before I got to 5...
Slowed way down, race now shot, still made some less extensive mistakes though.
Will go back in a week or so to run this course again, this time taking my brain with me. |

Sprint 2 - Splits |
Friday May 26 |
| Trail Run - Long / Easy long (Shenipsit) 2:18:00 [3]20 km (6:54 / km) +200m 6:34 / km | |
| shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI |
| Run from home to Soapstone, mostly on blue trail, but a few parallel diversions - finished up the dirt road. About 55 minutes... After about 15 minutes into return, slowed to a walk for a bit, realized just how nice a walk it was and the rest was an enjoyable walk with occassional slow jog - just not in the mood to keep running harder.

| ahr:140 rhr:45 slept:8.0 weight:170lbs shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI |
| Ran some random trails & fields at Cross Farms during the kids soccer practice. First 10 minutes or so with Hayden, then 20 minutes at a faster pace - HR is average for the two, was closer to 150 for the latter portion. Distance is a total WAG. |
Tuesday May 23 |
| Trail Run - Long / Easy (Happy Feet) 30:00 [2] | |
| |
| finally - no rain - back outside for laps and trails - ran 2 400's at a fairly fast pace, rest easy. Legs felt quite leaden.... |
