Saturday Dec 24 |
| Note | |
| |
| In St. Louis to help my parents move.
Not one thing entered my body over the past three days that wasn't processed, fried, deep fried, placed as a topping on a pizza, or prepackaged. I drank enough pop and coffee to induce a coma in a small child. I need a purification ceremony. On the bright side, when I die I think I took in enough preservatives that I will not decompose for days.
Oh, and did I mention cheap beer. (Is Natural Light actually considered beer?)

| C • You call THAT beer! We will ne... 3 |
Monday Dec 19 |
| Classic Skiing 44:00 [4] 12 km (3:40 / km) | |
| |
| Skied at Como. 2 loops. The tracks were remarkably good. Just a reminder: If you plan to ski on a cold and windy day don't forget your tights and long underwear top. Wind pants and jacket are great for wind, but bad for insulation. Just a little slower on classic than I was the other day skate.
Probably won't have entries the next couple days. Going to St. Louis to help my parents move. |
Sunday Dec 18 |
| Skate Skiing 2:15:00 [3] 33 km (4:05 / km) | |

| Skied with Dave at Baker Park. Very cold and very slow, but excellent conditions. 0 degrees or so at the start, my guess would be 5 degrees by the end. |
Tuesday Dec 13 |
| Running tempo 14:00 [5] 2.0 mi (7:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Two times 7 minutes with 4 minutes between. Still fighting cold. Lots of coughing. Didn't feel that great. Exercise makes you healthy right? |

Hopefully first day of regular strength work. Its minimal but has paid off in the past. |

| spiked:19/26c |
| Possum Trot. Great course in challenging terrain. Took an early skip that allowed me to lead for a short time and run with the lead group for awhile. Missed control 12 badly and never really recovered. Made a couple of smaller mistakes and then slowed down to be certain of my course. |

Saturday Dec 3 |
| |
| Event: Kansas Orienteering Championships
|
| Orienteering race 43:00 [4] *** 5 km (8:36 / km) | |
| spiked:11/16c |
| Had a good run going at the MOKS Champs until the Micro section. Missed two of 4 and then saw Ian mispunch control 15. I reattacked, but came back to the same control. So I punched, not knowing if there was some mistake. I finshed and found out I had punched a control on the Yellow course 60 meters from the proper control.
Once again I was able to see Ian try to dismatle a fallen tree with his body. Loud and entertaining, but ineffective. Very fun course. |
