Training Log Archive: J-BANGZ

Started off the course a little sore/tired which may have been to my benefit because I slowed down a bit and made few mistakes. I was almost dead-on to every point and was able to keep good pace. My only real error was on point 4 where I cut in too early and misread the map losing about 30-40 seconds.

Other than that, things felt awesome. This was the first time I have orienteered since first semester of last year (excluding the summer land nav and FFL o-course). It was a great confidence booster to get back in the game and compete again.

Sparred for 10 mins with Jake Grant, after the first half we were both pretty tired but unwilling to give up. We eventually decided to stop because it really wasnt going anywhere, Jake did very well for not having had any serious combatives training before.

This may have been a poor choice to do immediately before running the night-o. Was a much more strenuous workout than i originally anticipated.

Did roughly 20 mins of trail intervals as part of training for sprints. We did some map memorization and then sprinted off to different points to see if we could memorize the point in 20 seconds or less.I geberally did the following:

read map for 5-10 seconds
run to point at 100%
jog back at distance running pace
repeat process for next point.
