Event: Anza-Borrego Desert O-Fest
Orienteering race 1:08:18 [3] 5.46 km (12:31 / km) +265m 10:04 / km
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Middle Course Anza Borrega. Very interesting terrain, but I made a lot of mistakes before I figured out how to decipher the map.
Orienteering 28:00 [4] 2.94 km (9:31 / km) +125m 7:51 / km
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Sprint Course Anza Borrega.
This was pretty much a training run, based on the control punch malfunctions. But I was able to run at higher speeds. Made a few mistakes adjusting to the different map scale.

Running 16:00 [2] 2.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks (White Yellow Black)
Easy jog, testing the ankle. All pavement. Felt about 90% solid. It was a still a little sore when I woke up this morning, probably because of the cold temperatures though.

Orienteering 2:30:00 [2]
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Almadan Quicksilver
Interesting terrain, but poor map.I did two of the three courses. But spent most of my time moving slowly, trying to understand the map, which had a lot of problems. We had two map scales, 1:15 and 1:6. I found the 1:15000 scale completely illegible unless I stopped and squinted. I guess I need to get a magnifier. I really wish people wouldn't try to cram so much detail into maps.

Running 45:00 [3]
Terrain Running. This was really nice. I mostly ran with Mikkel and Mark, who had some interesting talk on training priorities.
Orienteering 1:35:00 [3]
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Joe Grant. I was absolutely exhausted during this, it was steep. The idea was to do a 9K course ( with something like 800m of climb!) but I was too exhausted. I chopped out the middle third of the course, and came back early.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Kainuu Integrators
Calero.
Drove down to meet the Aptos group at Calero. It was a nice day for a run, but about 2/3 way through I stepped wrong on a rock and strained my left Achilles. It felt very similar to what I did during the Fin-5. After that I backed off the intensity, and ran conservatively back to the car.

Running 27:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks (White Yellow Black)
After a 1/2 mile warm-up I did some lower speed pace checking at the track recording splits every 400m.
152, 150.0, 151.1, 147.0
Stretching
151.5, 140.1, 139.5, 138.4, 137.8, 150.6
Right now. 7:25 feels about like the pace I can keep indefinitely. 6:40 is a bit strenuous, but not too bad.

Running 27:00 [2] 3.26 mi (8:17 / mi) +80m 7:42 / mi
shoes: Brooks (White Yellow Black)
Nice jog, about a lap and a half around campus.

Running 30:00 [4]
shoes: Sauconey Grid 9s
I wanted something with low ankle risk, so I did a track workout. Jogged a mile, then did 400m intervals with 2 min rest 76.5, 76.9. 74.1, 80.8
Finished with a few more laps at 7-7.30 mile pace.
Really ran out of steam at the end and I'm definitely not in shape for the 5 minute mile yet, but maybe a 5.30 is doable. I think weekly speed work for maybe 6 weeks could really pay off.
