Green Long at Garr Hill (1:10). Started well, then lost 15 minutes (!!!) on a map reading boom. Jogged in the second half. Bummer, I did want this one.

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XVIII / US Interscholastic Champs
 
1 PM

Terrain (Grass) 22:00 [2] *
shoes: Oroc 280 (old)

Somewhat disjointed warmup as the registration packets arrived late. Wasn't worried about it since I was treating today as a training run.

Orienteering race (Woods) 49:00 [3] *** 4.4 km (11:08 / km)
shoes: Oroc 280 (old)

Middle Green at Bear Creek (1:7.5). Footing was atrocious (wet matted leaves on top of mud). I ran conservatively and the result was about what one would expect: a safe 3rd place In M50.

Easy jog round the hood.

3 PM

Terrain (Trail) 2:15:00 [3] ***
shoes: Speedcross 3

Lewis@64:49 plus the Shot Gun loop to and from RGA West. Effort was steady state. Would have preferred a minute or two less on the watch, but this is just ultra+16, so I suppose I should expect to still be a bit off.

Figured a hot lap of Lewis would be a better test of the shoes. They passed; a viable option for Double Chubb. Also weighed them this morning. Was surprised that they are only .5 oz (per shoe) heavier than the ORoc 280's (and 2.5 oz lighter than the Sabinos). They feel closer to the Sabinos in my hand.

Note

Since the STL crowd has been shoe obsessed lately, I'll add my initial thoughts on the Speedcross. I won these at a race last summer. Just got around to ordering them last month and they came right before Aslinger. I waited until now so I could give them a fair shake (no shoe felt good with the blister).

As with other Solomon models I've worn, they are a bit big in the heel for me. As a devout heel striker, I like things tight back there. That said, there was no indication of hot spots or even instability in the terrain, so these may still be usable as running shoes (my previous Solomons were relegated to hiking, where they performed quite well). Of course, I could have easily done today's runs in Docksiders, so it's only an initial impression, not a definitive test.

I do like the tread pattern very much. Tons of grip and almost no mud retention. Probably the best of any non-orienteering show I've ever worn.
12 PM

Terrain (Grass) 32:00 [2] *
(rest day) shoes: Speedcross 3

Over to church to pick up Yaya who stayed after mass for rice bagging. I won't go into the vehicular logistics that resulted in a 1-way run.
4 PM

Orienteering (Woods) 39:00 [2] *
16c (rest day) shoes: Speedcross 3

Setting controls for Yaya at Queeny (1:10).
