 | Orienteering 1:02:45 [4]5.3 mi (11:49 / mi) | |
| |
| Huckleberry Hillside Hunt, McCall. Green course. I seem to have a problem with this kind of western terrain, and I think negatively about my chances of orienteering well in it, so I didn't start out in a positive frame of mind. Didn't help that the map notes warned us of a not great map. Did okay at first but then I missed #3 badly and had a hard time relocating. I think the map was a bit funny in my approach & it led me to think I was higher than I was. By the time I decided to head high to relocate, Clare Durand -- 8 min behind me -- caught me at the control. Ack, run hard now. Still had a few small errors but the rest of the race went much better. Some of the terrain was quite delightful.
Despite my problems, I finished 1st on F40 by 10 minutes -- but first woman on Green was Jennifer Knowles, about 5 minutes ahead of me. Not a great run. Beautiful day, lovely views, great smells. |

| Nordic Track 43:03 [2] | |

| Before work. |
Tuesday Jun 24 |
| Track (Warm-up etc) 45:02 [3] | |
| |
| Includes warm-up, cool-down, interval recovery, and 6 laps (c. 1/5 miles) of straightaway pickups (4 laps before intervals, 2 laps afterwards). |
| Track (Intervals) 6:04 [5]1.4 km (4:20 / km) | |
| |
| "Speed" work on the track -- 800, 400, 200. Each was followed by a "full" recovery, ie 800 m after the 800, 400 after the 400. Probably the worst time to start doing speedwork again: still sore from the Rogaine; haven't done speedwork at least since January probably last fall; warmest day since October; air quality index poor. Various body parts hurt a bit but it wasn't too bad -- better than last week. So, though I was running "fast," my times are pretty pathetic. A starting point. Splits: 3:32, 1:44, 48. |
Sunday Jun 22 |
| Hiking (city hiker/biker trail) 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| From Bob & Ben's to downtown Bethesda (where we had a fine dinner and took in a movie) & back. Very sore from the rogaine, & my shoes, which I had chosen because they were backless & thus wouldn't bother my heal blister, rubbed my feet raw in several places... Blister looks nasty. |
