Training Log Archive: MJChilds

Summer Strategy program on campus. Scrabble-O. 40 controls. Set up, facilitated a group, picked up. Long day. Pretty warm. Had fun.

Legs tired from the weekend. Ready for a rest day.

Event: Eastern Canadian Championships - Middle
 

Pierrefonds, Montreal, QUE Eastern Canadian O Champs. Had a pretty good run. Suboptimal route choice on #5--took the trail around. A little hesitat on #6 early on. Not so speedy anymore, but I am happy with my results. Warm but not too humid. Nice breeze near the finish.


Note: Fields were overgrown with Poison Parsnip. I saw many people who seemed to not know how dangerous it is. ONA needs to put out a story on it to make orienteers aware. I fear that some may end up with bad burns over the next week or so.

ECOC Middle - Course 5 - Splits

Event: Canada 150 Orienteering Festival
 

Unofficial time. Decent race. No big goofs but some bobbles and 2 suboptimal route choices. Tricky to tell trails vs open/clearings/bare rock-- lots of what seemed like trails, not on the map. Quite flat but therefore challenging. Gorgeous day. Low humidity, sunny, breezy. Fun day. Lots of mud!

ECOC Long - Course 5 - Splits

The usual w Carl. Lovely day. Temp around 72 degrees, sunny.

Catamount training run. Black course. Humid. Rained on me from the lower hayfield on. Skipped the steep uphill finish. Started and stopped watch at corner of house, as usual. Rain felt good.

The usual w Carl. Warm.

Catamount Trail Running Series. Black Course on hilly side. Pretty good conditions. Did better than I expected after not having run for a couple of weeks.
