Event: West Point A-Meet
 

So I wanted to take this weekend's races as training but somehow i still ended up going faster that i should have both days.
Pretty smooth for the first half of the course, no pressure just orienteering. Started to get tired going to #8 due to trying to catch up the time lost a minor compass misleading coming out of 7. Mistake on 10 simply because i psyched myself out thinking i wasn't going to the right place; after reasurring myself that i was definitely going the way I should be going I was already pissed. I guess that led to my awesome smack-down coming out of #11. Falling on a rock hurt quite a bit but I managed to hop halfway to #12 and orienteer 'loosely' around the hill to get to the control. #13 was a little high and so I lost some time standing there looking around.
Red course 1: half-training / half-race (I'm not good at following my training plan)

Red-1 - Splits

giving my shins and hips a rest today

rather slow run

stretching, shins are sore for some reason, maybe i need new sneakers..
+ some rowing strength

To and from park..
Started out in light rain which was nice but towards the end i was soaked and my arms froze from the chilly wind and rain..

short fartlek session on trails. stomach was freaking out a little bit so easy pace on/off was good..

light jog on trails, well there's basically only one so on the trail..

legs feel Ok, not as bad as i expected so should recover fine.. just need to build up my indurance, incorporate some long runs + hills..

Red 2

Didn't recover well from yest. race, got about 3 hrs of sleep and had to get up early again to pre-start. Started out Ok, wanted to take it easy, made a huge mistake on #6 (~8min lost) and got really tired from 7 on, and completely died towards the end.. I guess Surebridge won the challange this weekend. oh well :)
