Lapham Peak - Colorama 10K

3 min slower than last year, but temps were a lot cooler now, so I'd say 5-6 min slower. Considering I have not run a 7 miles since my birthday and 0 running in the past week + sick, I'm feeling some accomplishment....

I managed to be sprinting in the finish shute, passing in fast order 2 gals that kept breating in my neck and passing me... more exactly keeping me honest of my low running curent ability.

Today I watched the lake front marathon guys...and I felt sorta sorry for them. Hmmmm....

Lapham Peak - Orienteering

Beautiful day to get more action after my first race. And, to my surprise there were a few new controls... I know those woods with my eyes closed, so that was entertaining. Good work for the organizer! Well, a couple controls a bit out of place, but could never ever complain on someone volunteering for so much work! Never!

Navigation school with Greg. I intially let him choose routes and we'd discuss it before and after. Then I realized we only had one week to get him ready for action and this was the only time for it. So next half the course I navigated with him following closely exactly on the map and then dicussing at each leg why I picked the route and such. Then he navigated, quite well, to the last few. He definetely needs more practice but he has a good chnace to get to a control should they decide to split us.

Some canoeing followed.

Still freaked out about my coming up 18H.

Feeling better today (all good, except the occasional diziness). I am considering at this point "racing" and orienteering tomorrow. Ok, that will be no race, but I will at least try to slow jog it.

C • ok you did race Sat 3

Lots of sleep. Head is a big diziness bag. Stayed home today.

little sleep again. Massage felt good. Cold is geting worse.

little sleep again. repeated racing in rain/rivers, and staying cold after do not help with my immune system.
