| The Punisher returns. Yes a long course early and it was starting to rain and I could not uses safety/reading glasses. To top that I forgot my clue sheet. No.1 was a couple minute mistake right away. The rest of the course went well except I was on the wrong trail on the way to No.9 and I had to relocate there. A lot of the course was fast nav with some route choices. Good conditioning for the weekend coming up. Oh I ended up 2nd next to Maricel. |

| Orienteering Meet race 53:41 [4] **** 4.4 km (12:12 / km) | |
| spiked:9/10c |
| Cats aganda, what a map, very technical teraine, great course, however lots of snow on the ground and I do not like running in snow, much rather be skiing. Someday the US Champs will be held here, just ask Kevin. I finished 3rd overall. I tried to stay in contact the whole time and work on my map reading skills. I only did not one control and veered off to the south and headed north to hit No.7. What a transition from skiing, to control hanging on skis ( no poles) and than orienteering. |

Monday Mar 17 |
| Running intervals 45:00 [5] 4.0 mi (11:14 / mi) | |
| |
| Track workout, start with 400, than 800 and repeat 2 more times. Walk 100 after the 400 and 200 after the 800. I told the girls that I was shooting for 90 seconds on the 400 and 3:20 on the 800. My top grils exceded these times and the slower ones did not. However that is the way it goes with different levels, and you have to push the ones who can go faster and hope the slower ones catch up some day. I am happy when the fast ones don't dog it and stay with the slow times I put for the group. This workout was 2 days after an invite meet at Platville WI and I thought it might be a little too much but with spring break coming up and special workout sTues and Thur for the jumpers, thats the way I wanted to schedule things.
They can go easy tues and thur.
