Orienteering 8:23 [3] *** 1.4 km (5:59 / km)
22c
(Boston Sprint Camp Begins)
Orientation/Direction exercise at Highland Playground. It went pretty well aside from the Orientation/Direction part. I didn't use a compass for this one so I kept leaving controls in the wrong direction. I think we were told not to use a compass, but I don't remember for certain.

Orienteering 6:01 [3] *** 1.0 km (6:01 / km)
9c
Compass exercise. Having some trouble keeping direction.
Orienteering 8:20 [3] *** 1.3 km (6:25 / km)
9c
Another compass exercise. Had a lot of trouble finding one control (which I ran right past without seeing), but I also realized at the end that the North lines on the map are slightly askew. There was a leg going through a field, and when I slowed down to make absolutely sure my map was oriented and I was running on the line, the map said I should be running about 7 degrees (give or take) off to one side of where the control was. So I'm not just really bad at compass running.
Orienteering 17:39 [3] *** 2.0 km (8:50 / km)
8c
Distance is estimated.
Partner training exercise. Two different maps, one person has each, first person does their 1-3, then the second person, first person does 4-6, then the second person, then both race each other on their respective 7-Finish. The purpose was to know where you were, even when the other person was the one navigating to their controls.

Orienteering race 14:16 [3] *** 2.6 km (5:29 / km)
16c
Great first race, in the woods, lots of climb but I did quite well. Only one control I could have saved a few seconds on. Also should have worn x-Talons instead of F-Lites, but it only really mattered when running up steep hills.
Running warm up/down 5:15 [3]
Down
Orienteering 1:02 [3] ***
10c
(These were done after the compass sprint exercise.) A sort of modified Maze-O. The controls were at wall intersections of the maze and could be punched from either side. The purpose was to determine which approach to the control allowed the fastest route to the next control.
Orienteering 50 [3] ***
8c
Different maze course.
Orienteering 55 [3] ***
7c
Different maze course.

Running warm up/down 1:10 [3]
It wasn't really a warm up. I just ran to the approximate area of the start to the 5k race and then picked it up.
Running tempo 23:14 [3]
Went right into my run. I tried to go race pace on the 5k course from a couple weeks ago, but the race itself had been cancelled because of weather, so there was nobody else around me. I still pushed very hard and went quite fast (25 seconds slower than last time), and while I had to walk around a bit after I finished I still felt like I had a tiny bit left in me.
Running warm up/down 12:15 [3]
Don't remember the exact time but I know it ended with 15 seconds and it was either 12, 14, or 16 minutes. Very easy jogging after running hard.

Running 1:28:30 [3]
Long run. Not feeling super energetic but I kept moving pretty well.
Saturday Jun 6, 2015 #
Running 46:15 [3]
Good run. Nothing special.

Running 56:15 [3]
I was feeling really good today, and I ran fast. Ran up Indian Lookout in just over 15 minutes, which is much faster than normal.
