Saturday Dec 9 | ||
| Mtn Biking 32:00 [2] ** 8.1 km (3:57 / km) | |
| I used the mountain bike to get around while vetting the Winter AR course. I am being harassed to get my log done and play with trains, so that is about all. Frozen, rutted sand is not that much fun. | ||
| Orienteering 1:30:00 [2] *** 5 km (18:00 / km) | |
| spiked:10/12c | ||
| Vetting at Lake Elmo for winter AR. Still being harassed by JDAWG. Gotta go. | ||
Friday Dec 8 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Oops! I went to sleep planning to head to Como park after work today to pre-run the training course. I woke up and immediately realized that I am responsible for a school dance tonight. That means picking up the speakers and balloons and setting up the sound system. No time for a workout. Had I thought of that yesterday I would have gone for a run this morning. | ||
Thursday Dec 7 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Met with OSteve about maps for Winter AR. Plan to get out to Lake Elmo this weekend. I have to figure out how to not print the lines between controls for a portion of the map where you have choice in what order you do controls (something like 9A, 9B, 9C at the Hyland adventure runs.) | ||
| C • shhhhhhhhhh! 3 | ||
Wednesday Dec 6 | ||
| Roller Skiing 1:04:00 [3] 18 km (3:33 / km) | |
| Temps right around 20. Windchill probably closing in on 0. One of those nights that it was tough to get out for rollerskiing--if I had actually been on snow it wouldn't have been hard to motivate at all-- but once I was out it was well worth it. Stayed warm. Western sky still kind of light and the pavement was good down to Fort Snelling and back. | ||
Tuesday Dec 5 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Celebrated 34 years with a nap during 5:00 news. Then Lake St. Garage for dinner, and picking up our Christmas tree. Molly even let me watch the trash tv show "The Unit" without complaining.
What a day. Back to work on Wednesday. | ||
Monday Dec 4 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Legs a little sore. Lots of scrapes, I did not find any more thorns in my scalp though. | ||
| C • wow... what a jump on a rest day 1 | ||
Sunday Dec 3 | ||
| Orienteering race 2:03:00 [4] *** 14 km (8:47 / km) +300m 7:56 / km | |
| spiked:28/25c shoes: Icebugs | ||
| Possum Trot. Challenging course, especially with the snow and ice. Icebugs were definitely worth the purchase. Good showing by the MN contingent.
Closer look at the map and more comments later. I happened to be in the right place at the beginning. I saw Pete leading the group to number 2, but was far enough back to see Swampfox hesitate (maybe even bend down to tie shoe?), then Eric, then David F. peeled to the left up the road. That made my decision. From there I had to run hard to stay with them until the pace leveled off. With those guys plus Andy? most of first loop, a little off the back then regained. Not sure when Spike joined. David and I went north from the map exchange and were looking for skips which caused only mistake of the daay. We both ran righ past the trail we were aiming for. That opened the gap that we couldn't recover from Justin and Tom. I think south along the road was a better choice on that leg. Then second loop ran a lot with David, Andy and Spike. Skipped 23 and never saw Andy again. Saw Justin and Tom leaving 24, but couldn't make up the time. Running with David, I thought many times of taking the flatter route along road or open terrain, but couldn't justify the risk of a big mistake. David gained the 15 seconds on me between control 29 and 30. Legs just couldn't respond. | ||
