Event: EMPO - Colonie Town Park
 

EDIT: Added FR track. I covered 5.394 km (127 m climb per FR) on a 2.9 Km course. Bluh.

Nice weather; tough map. Big errors on 3 and 6, with slight bobbles to 2 and 8 (off to the right a bit in both but correctable). AP says I lost 23 minutes, and that's about what I calculated. Stupidity on 3, with a 45 degree bearing error and poor relocating (1st, could have checked the control I passed near even though it wasn't on the correct feature...if I had, I might have realized it was my #4; 2nd, should have checked the trail I hit to make sure which one it was). Ugh.

Pissed after error on 6, so pushed it on the trail to 7, passing Hans B and Gary K, but they made it up on my bobble to 8. Clean from there in, with a bit of help to the penultimate control on a cliff (also on Green X and maybe others).

Better tomorrow, I hope.

Warm up walk to start. Stopped watch when I went off trail along the way, then forgot to restart it; total distance was advertised as 2.1 km, and probably took about 20 minutes. First part of this was part-jog/part-walk, until I got to the parking area near the arena; then I walked the rest with my brother.

Event: US S/M/L Champs 2011 & WRE
 

Used exercise balls. Did most every exercise I like on the ball except roll-ups (so I did a few of those on my own after, w/o the ball).

Treadmill walking after--will log later.

3 min warmup and 4:40 cooldown on treadmill

Started at 0.5 % incline and went as high as 2 (I know, no big deal for some, but I don't need to aggravate my knee). Got HR to around 120, not bad for walking.

Shoulder slightly better today.

Jen mentioned that for a couple of weeks she's been leaving out the stretching-after-warmup, having read that "active stretching" is better for you than warm-up static stretching. I like this new way better; gets us into the cardio portion faster. :-)

C • Active warmup 1

Using weights and body weight. Lots of upper body stuff...

Hill intervals, level 3. 1.82 miles

Also, adductors (24) and pulldowns (10).

Lots of stepping, but my left knee kept twinging on certain moves so I removed a riser and also did some moves on the floor. Right shoulder achy from windmilling it yesterday to prevent a fall.
I'm starting to sound crotchety (Glen would use a different verb than "starting"...). :-)

Event: NEOC: Norwottuck
 

Green course at Norwottuck in MA. FR logged about 6.627 km. A bit too far right at 8, but figured out the cliffs (and the mislabeled description--the location was obvious from the control circle). Then unmapped trails and rocks/cliffs near 9 (saw Dean and Bob and I think BP in the woods here but they were no help. :-) )

Decided to do the notch just east of the power line to get around the hill to 10 saving 3 contours from the trail route; sidehilling wasn't too much fun, though, but didn't last too long. Last bit an uphill slog, but it had to be done. Nice course by Ian S, and gorgeous weather, sunny and upper 50s.

EDIT: Found out later that the power line vegetation wasn't as crappy as it looked; someone else went that way and had only about 5' of nasty stuff to blast through, and it was much less climb (down along the edge of the quarry, instead of my way, hanging off the side of the hill).
