Running 48:26 [3] 6.59 mi (7:21 / mi)
slept:6.25
GTA (route) with Scott, Frank, Erik, Vinny, JV, DV, Leo. Alexis and Shannon were also there to run with Sue (GTA for Women?). With the 5K vs. Nate coming up on Saturday, I wanted to take it easy - and I thought it would be, since the V-bros are running the Corp Challenge tonight. But it was Leo that pushed the early pace below 7 minutes. I stayed close for 25 minutes or so, then I slowed to nearly 8-min pace for the last 2 miles, in an attempt to save some legs for Saturday.

Up the river to the UR ped bridge and back the other side. Did 7 x 1 min quicker stride drills (avg 165/min) on the way back.
5:04, 13:40, 21:41, 24:47, 32:20, 40:52 (still a detour on the west side of the Troup-Howell bridge), 46:37.

Easy run during the less interesting part of the Frosh-Soph meet at Aquinas. Ran a little longer than planned. Started out running with a google map of the area, but when I got to Maplewood Park, I hopped onto a trail that ran down the gorge and went N along the river, about to the Vetran's Bridge. Didn't see a sign of an upcoming way out, and I was out of time, so I went back.

Golfing 27:00 [1]
slept:7.0
Great way to spend a day. Got out for 18 holes in the AM: 46-44-90, thanks to a 7 on #17 (well, that and 4 doubles on the front). Caught a nap after lunch. Then the guys went out for 9 holes before dinner. I was in the zone, and was 2-over after 8 holes. Had visions of another bogey to card a PR, 38. Instead, I choked, and it snowed (hence the snowman), which left me with a 41. Nate, Zach and Luke all had a good time. Nate hadn't played in a couple of years - he can actually hit the ball pretty far now. Zach crushed a couple of drives 115-120 yards, which is pretty good considering the length of his driver. We kept Luke's golfing confined to the greens for now.

Orienteering race 46:59 [4] *** 5.5 km (8:33 / km)
spiked:16/19c
ROC Meet at Webster Park - Orange Course. Blew C2 to the tune of about 3 minutes - very depressing. I totally misread the map and was looking for the control before I got to the stream. Did better the rest of the way, but lost time on a couple of legs due to Swamp-a-phobia. I've had bad luck cutting thru swamps here, so I was running around, even though it was clearly not the best option.

ROC Meet at Webster Park - Yellow course. Since there was a category for Orange + Sprint + Yellow, I decided to go out on Yellow, too. Felt a little better than during the Sprint, but was still 2 minutes slower than feet. And he didn't look like he was pushing too hard, so I've got some fitness work to do, in addition to improving my navigation (note to self: step one - learn what those squiggly brown lines mean - Nate tells me they are useful).
Running warm up/down 7:00 [2]
Did some jogging before the first course.

Golfing 1:00 [1]
Got to the course at 9, sure that I could make it out by 10:15, but no. Spent an hour on the range / practice green, then no longer had time to fit in 9 holes.
Foolish scheduling by the club - President's cup qualifier on a holiday weekend - caused unprecedented backup.

Running 32:00 [2] 4.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
After I did my volunteer scoreboard duties for 2 games, I had time to kill before Chelsea's first hoop tourney game. So, I ran around Chuchville-Chili HS, then out the back road (Westside?) to Hubbard and back via 33.
On Hubbard, I saw the Dorris' name on their mailbox, so I stopped in and saw Mike. I think Walt and I stopped in after a Freezeroo race in the early 90's. They were our next door neighbor in EA until about 1977.
Got to see Chelsea's Rochester Warriors team play for the first time - I was out of town for O events for their first 2 tourneys. They are pretty decent - it's nice seeing Chelsea work with some girls that can pass the ball (and move without it).

Running 36:09 [2] 4.5 mi (8:02 / mi)
rhr:46 slept:5.5
Easy run out Main-Goodman and thru the 'hood. All of the comments from the locals were very friendly today, and with the weather being so nice, and the pace being so easy, it made for a very pleasant run. I hardly even noticed the little aches and pains leftover from the Billygoat!
Map Run 40:29 [2] 4.5 mi (9:00 / mi)
Accidental TNT with Nate. I meant to be on the golf course (left work a bit early), but there was a women's tournament scheduled (on a Tuesday evening?!?) with a shotgun at 5, so I wasn't allowed out, or on the driving range.
Nate needed an easy run, so we went to Ellison Wetlands and took turns running with the map for 3 minutes, and trying not to stop to relocate. Stayed mostly on trails (not a whole lot of other good options without a premeditated reason for leaving the trails).

spiked:18/24c slept:8.0
My first Billygoat. Not too bad, but I ran most of the course alone. Wanted to find someone consistent to chase, but got stuck having to go right at the start, since the mob was to my left. Ross got way ahead going up the hill. Still rejoined the pack ahead of the Saegers, but fell behind when I followed someone into the woods too early. Going up to C2, I knew they made the right decision, going left, but since everyone else went right, I did, too. Big mistake - had to skirt some nasty stuff and come into the control backwards, seeing the Saegers well on their way out. But I really lost most of my time on 5-6-7, with some horrible route choices, some difficulty finding 5, and having to unload stones from my shoe on the way to 6. It would have helped to have been with a group (or someone) thru this section. Things got much better for awhile, and I was moving fairly nicely along the trails. But I had a poorly executed skip of 22, and went from a minute ahead of Brendan before our skips (he skipped 23) to a minute behind him afterwards.
This was a great deal of fun, and I hope it fits in the schedule next year.

Just a little jogging at times before the start. Wanted to be ready to move quickly, if necessary.

Event: Billygoat
Orienteering race 16:04 [4] *** 2.28 km (7:03 / km)
spiked:6/8c
Sprint-2 Course at Camp Pinnacle. Ran "2" first. Call it a tempo effort, didn't want to wear myself out before tomorrow. Missed a couple of trail shortcuts, not being used to a 1:5 map. Used trails most of the time between controls, as they were plentiful and the woods seemed a bit on the slow side.
Orienteering race 18:21 [4] *** 2.22 km (8:16 / km)
spiked:7/8c
Sprint-1 at Camp Pinnacle. Didn't take much recovery time after the first course, since I wanted to hustle down to Smitty's in Voorheesville for the Sabres game (what a disappointment that was). I walked in several spots on this course, although I did try to pick it up a bit when Ross passed me, but I was not good on the downhill thru the brush running. Surprisingly, I seem to have finished one place higher on this course than on the other.

GTA - good turnout: Scott, Frank, Erik & Lawrence (both back from Bulgaria - I didn't get to stick around to hear some of the stories), JV, DV, Vinny, Jim O, Darren. Annual tour of the Lilac Festival site. Stayed with the group until we left the park, then I coasted, while they went back to 6:30 or so pace, to save something for the sprints and Goat this weekend.
I would not have made it out this AM, if the Sabres had lost last night.

Easy running during track practice - bike path loop and around the track while timing Marc's workout. He did the "4-minute mile" workout, running 4x400 in a total of 3:50 (54.2 on the first, 57.1 on the last).

rhr:45 slept:7.0
River loop up to the GV Park ped bridge and back the other side. Waited until the T'storm passed to head to the Y. Quite windy for the run. Brooks Landing construction is still mostly destruction. But the Troup-Howell bridge reconstruction is winding down. It looks like the west side riverpath detour will be gone in the near future.
A little sore from yesterday's undocumented "strides" while actively watching the track races.

Some easy running during the track meet at Hilton. Most came during the delay while they held up the girls' relays to let the field events finish and see where the score stood. Schroeder just needed to win one relay, and took the 4x100 easily, then won the 4x400 with an outstanding last leg by the girl who had just won the triple jump.
Nate grabbed second in the 3200 - 11:21.
Chelsea had another fine run in the 800, passing one of the top HS runners in the country, Allison Sawyer, in the final stretch, to finish in 2:34 (Allison was coming off the 400 hurdles, but still...).

Event: ROC - Letchworth State Park
Orienteering race 1:45:38 [4] *** 9.3 km (11:22 / km)
spiked:10/15c weight:167lbs
ROC Meet at Letchworth. Blew C3 pretty badly, to the tune of 8 or 9 minutes. Came down the hill left of the flag, and went right to find a dry stream junction that I thought was the right location, but no flag, went one way, then the other, no luck. Finally I went farther down the hill and found the network of streams that were mapped and followed the correct one back up the hill to the flag. I then realized the original junction I found consisted of ditches too small to be mapped or visible as contours, and I should have been looking for something bigger.
Fairly smooth sailing the rest of the way, althoug I had a lot of hesitation to C5 (didn't want to miss the trails), had slow going to C6. Missed C11 or so and hit the road, and had to go back, and blew C15 when I was distracted by a flag up the hill in the distance.

Running 35:00 [2] 4.24 mi (8:15 / mi)
Some easy running during the Hilton Invitational. Included a run down thru the village and out South St and back.
Nate had his first attempt at the Steeplechase, and didn't do too bad. He lost a lot of momentum on each barrier, so he can improve quickly with techinique practice.
Chelsea ran two great 800s. She was shocked that she was in the fast heat in the open 800 (seeded 12th out of about 16 in each heat), then ran like she knew she belonged there, getting out-leaned for the 6th place ribbon in 2:34. She then led off the 4x800 relay and ran the second lap faster to get by all the teams except Hilton and Cicero North, running another 2:34. I think the team held on for 5th, despite missing a top runner.

rhr:41 slept:6.25
Since I'm not going to track practice tonight (I have a much more important sporting event to attend), I was finally able to make it back out to GTA. Small turnout with Erik out of town: Scott, Frank (we had to turn around after his late arrival), JV and Vinny. Shannon and Sue were there for GTAW.
Did a lilac-ish route (which I gmapped, but didn't save), though the true lilac run would be scheduled for next week, during the festival.
Roughly Monroe-Culver-Park-Goodman-Monroe-Alexander-River-McLean-Mt Hope-Highland Park-Highland-Monroe & in. I had no trouble on the first sub-7 pace stretch on Park, but I lost about 20 seconds on Highland, between Clinton and Monroe, when they got down below 6:30 pace.

Golfing 9:00 [1]
After opening with an 11-footer for par on 1, I thought I was ready to play. Think again! 53 was easily my worst score in a few years.

Running intervals 6:25 [4] 1.03 mi (6:14 / mi)
rhr:43 slept:6.5 weight:163.5lbs
Ran a couple of intervals while I was running around before and during the track meet at Irondequoit. Ran hard down St. Paul/Cooper from Pinegrove to the school (3:24 for 0.537 miles = 3:10 1/2 mile pace). Also ran hard on List from the street south of the school to a tree after a street crossing at an angle (3:01 for 0.494 miles = 3:03 pace).
Running 29:00 [2] 3.63 mi (7:59 / mi)
Easy running before, between and after the intervals. Doesn't count all the running around the infield cheering. Chelsea was 2:37 in the open half (the hard way: 82, 75), to finish 2nd behind Megan. She also had the fastest split (2:39) in the 4x800. She would have been 2:37 again, if it weren't for the completely pathetic handoff.
Nate ran tough in the 3200, lowering his time to 11:22 on the first real warm day of the year.

Fairly easy run with the distance guys, to the rest rooms at North Ponds and back. I'm not sure, but Marc may have been the only one who made it without stopping, although Patryk did catch back up to us. Not sure why bathroom breaks are needed on an easy 25 minute run. Chris hid, after not even keeping up with Shamus.
Lowest weight in many years, I think. Sharp contrast from hitting 169.5 last week. True weight is definitely somewhere in between.

spiked:18/25c slept:8.25
US Team Trials Long - Blue. Started out with a decent performance - only about 2 minutes behind JJ after 8 controls. Then back-to-back long legs should have been great for me, but I fouled them up. On the way to C9, I was able to stick with the trails, even though folks had tried to hide them in places, piling up brush (to stop mountain bikers?), until I must not have seen the last right turn that I wanted to get me to my attack point and I had to wander a bit to relocate. Lost 7-8 minutes. Also failed to track the trails leaving C9, and wound up over at the airfield, which was a bit out of the way.
Had another nice stretch, until, suprisingly, the next long leg, to C18. Again it was the green that was my downfall. It took me forever to fight thru to the campground to the east - I never did see the open, scattered trees area that was supposed to be on the way. By the time I got out, both of my shoes needed to be retied, and a couple of O'ers got by me. I had no trouble walking them down on the trails, though. C20 was a disaster - thought I had the correct line, but lost about 8.5 minutes when the flag wasn't past the hill I expected. For C22 I was a victim of the poor mapping they had advertised. I kept getting hung up in medium-to-dark green areas that didn't seem to be mapped that way. The rest was OK, except I was pretty worn out (and I ended up running over 360 degrees around C23).
I definitely need to improve my execution of long legs. They should be an advantage for me, but right now they are hurting me.

Red course at US Team Trials. No disasters today, but every time I touched green, I lost a minute or two. I missed the obvious trail route on the first control and that set me back. I then had trouble with C4 and, especially C5, in the green. And then I had troubles with C9 and C10, that had "thicket" clues, but I couldn't distinguish the thickets from the unmapped undergrowth nearby. Finally, I had trouble getting to, and leaving C13.
I was certainly capable of running 45 on this course, with this terrain, and I should not have been over 50.

Orienteering race 17:10 [5] *** 3.0 km (5:43 / km) +65m 5:10 / km
spiked:12/13c slept:5.5
US Team Trials Sprint. Had a pretty clean race, but wish I had pushed just a little bit harder - I finished 4 seconds behind JJ and 2 behind Spike. I actually lost at least 4 seconds at one of the last controls when I had to leave the beaten path to go around a slower runner and fought thru stuff to the left of the flag, but the control stand was slightly up the hill to the right of the flag.
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 2.78 mi (9:00 / mi)
10 min w/up
15 min w/dn - hoping to have the legs ready for tomorrow.

Running 20:00 [2] 2.35 mi (8:31 / mi)
rhr:45 slept:6.0
Did some running during track practice. The kids did a "Who do we appreciate" ladder: 200, 400, 600, 800 and back down, but I skipped it as a continuation of the mini-taper for the TT races this weekend. So I ran back and forth to give splits and times, and did the jogging in between with different kids. Nate did not skip them, so I hope he is set to race 3 days in a row (but since he is running Green on Sat/Sun, I imagine he won't be able to navigate quickly enough to make it physically demanding).

Swimming 32:45 [3] 0.91 mi (35:59 / mi)
rhr:45 slept:5.0
3:51/7:54
1:29,30,34,33,31 (on 2)
3:25,22
Easy swim, but the water was a chilly (by Y standards) 80 degrees today. Needed to hit the whirlpool afterwards to loosen up the back (but I won't log that as training, as some people do).
Another late night killing viruses and playing CF (it's hard to leave when you just know the next race is the one where you will pull it all together).

Golfing 9:00 [1]
First time out, so I just spent 30 minutes at the range and working the short game. The distance is still there, but the consistency is lacking.

Running 27:00 [2] 3.18 mi (8:29 / mi)
slept:4.5 weight:165.5lbs
Up until 2am last night, trying to get rid of various viruses and spybots and adware from the downstairs computer that the kids use IE on (damn Microsoft), then playing some Catching Features, just to make sure the network connection was working well again.
Easy run around Greece Olympia between the kids' track events. Nate had a pretty decent 3200m (11:26), but got outkicked for 3rd again by a teammate who was behind him until the last lap. He volunteered to jump in the 4x400 relay, and picked up his share of 5 points for that.
Chelsea had a breakthrough race in the 800m. She went out in 3rd, behind Kayleigh and Claire, went thru the 200 in 38+, thru the 400 in 79, then took off with 300 to go, passed Claire, passed to 600 in about 2:00, then caught Kayleigh and had an awesome finishing kick to win in 2:35+, which is under the consideration time for sectionals.
