Orienteering race (Beer Chase Loop A) 30:36 [5] *** 3.13 km (9:47 / km)
shoes: Silva K80
First loop of the annual Beer Chase. As usual, I downed my beer faster than any others and was off in the direction we were pointed in. Others passed me by while I jogged along, waiting for Darcy. We stayed together the rest of the way. Pushed the first loop pretty hard, coasted a bit on the second loop, and pushed again on the third loop.
Orienteering race (Beer Chase Loop B) 40:07 [3] *** 3.22 km (12:28 / km)
shoes: Silva K80
Made the only navigational error on control 7 of this loop.
Orienteering race (Beer Chase Loop C) 19:01 [4] *** 1.66 km (11:27 / km)
shoes: Silva K80
Upon turning over map, Darcy & I were disappointed to see that this loop was going to require actual navigation, instead of the easy controls the third loop usually has. Sucked it up and concentrate on finishing strong. Pass some people in the woods. Turns out they were finishing the course which was just loops B & C. The next closest people to us were 10 minutes ahead...
I did trip and bend ankle over on the way to the last control. Shook off the pain and limped to the finish.
Finished 21 out of 31.
Good race, good company, good day.

So, today turned out to be the "long" run, but I wasn't feeling it, so I hung back with Shawn & then cut off a bit of the route.

Misc 30:00 [2]
slept:5.0 weight:179lbs shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 1
Another unsettling session. "Long" run was preceded by lots of warm up, jj, donkey kicks & pulses.
Running 30:00 [2] 2.75 mi (10:55 / mi)
shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 1
Adverstised long run turned out to be the last 30 minutes with stops in between for lunges & squats. Teresa said that was time for 3-4 miles for the 1 & 2 level groups - yeah, right. Not wanting to get more frustrated, especially with stopping and doing stuff on the side of the trail, I went the other way on my own.
Felt grumpy and sluggish - not sure if one caused the other or not. Usually being ticked off gets me moving faster, but I didn't have it in me today. Walked the long hill by the house, as well as some other parts.

Misc 1:00:00 [2]
slept:6.0 weight:179lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 2
Warm up .8 mile running., warm up, pushups for 2 minutes, bicep curls, 1.5 minute pushups, bicep curls, 1 minute pushups, .4 mile run, jumping jacks while we waited for the others to finish. Then partner stuff with the bands, .4 mile run, band stuff, ab stuff, .2 mile run.
Instructor was Teresa flying solo again. I made a conscious effort to cut her some slack, but I remain unimpressed, especially since she started warming down 10 minutes early, and spends too much time transitioning between exercises. She also comes off as condesending and patronizing when she is trying to be encouraging.
And she chased after me when I left to let me know that she expected me there tomorrow for our long run. Hello!! I am not an attendance problem, and I don't duck anything we do. I don't know how much longer I can stand her.

Running 23:00 [3] 2.6 mi (8:51 / mi)
slept:6.5 weight:180lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 2
BC included two runs with stuff in between. The first one was 1.6 mile in 14:30, and the second was 1 mile in 8:30. The usual suspects were ahead of me, but I couldn't hold off Crisann on the first loop, and Cristina got me on the second loop. Good to see them improve.
