| 25 K Suprerior Hiking Trail race.....longest I have run in 5 years....suprised that Kari and I did as good as we did....fantastic race with scenery...Lutsen to Oberg Mountain and back....we probably ran 80% of race and hiked 20%....technical single track on the SHT that demanded our attention....although we havent run long much the orienteering and AR's we have done helped us....Very sore today....we finished in the back of the last 1/3 of the field of 106 finishers and enjoyed another unique adventure....Average HR for the event was 149 which tells me that my legs gave out on me before my heart did... |

| added note on the Sprint AR...HR average was 159 for the 3 hour race (also hin 181 sometime during the event), tells me that we managed to go at a pace that was almost max for us....no excessive stopping for navigation reasons...even on our 4 -5 minute mistake we we moving quickly trying to locate a route off the bluff and back to the entrance road.... |
| Run 35:03 [3] | |
| |
| treadmill run...havent kept up with my interval workouts for the upcoming 5k...did 8x1:55 @ 7:47 pace on the treadmill on 3:00, walked 1 minute of recovery....highest HR was 152 and I set the incline at 1% to help be realistic. Seems to indicate that I can beat 24 minutes at 5K but the proof is in the pudding.... |

| random thoughts on AR...
There needs to be a system for checking to verify all controls were obtained...someone needs to check punches or check control words...if its not evident that checking is happening to SOME extent teams will not always admit they did not......all it takes is a few teams to not do this to cause the results to lack credibility...what got me thinking of this is after the race we were talking to the 2nd place team and they asked "did you get CP 7?) I answered yes we got all of them and later wondered why they would ask me that...I stress that they could have asked me that because they found it challenging to get and I did not ask them if they got it.I wonder if it would get caught if some teams skip some CP's and did not say anything.....one of the reasons I use control words is that I can glance quickly and see if all words are right in a sentence....I have had a few teams try to guess at words but did not admit to it till after I said that the word was not right...... |
