Warmup before the relay. Felt good.

Orienteering race 31:27 **
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

The Most Important Race of the Year.

We lost.

DVOA put our best team forward, with the best leg assignments, orienteered and ran to our capabilities, and lost. Nothing we could have done, and no other team we could have constituted would have produced a different outcome on this day.

Congratulations to CSU for a well done race.

CSU should win many more relay championships, but DVOA's prospects are mixed at best. The lack of new blood does not augur well for our long term success.

I will take solace in the fact that I have been running relays for DVOA since my first relay gold as a junior in 1986 and will continue to do so until they won't have me or I am no longer able. No one will ever doubt my loyalties or allegiances.…

Warmup before the middle. A cool, clear day.

Orienteering race 35:52 [4] *** 5.4 km (6:39 / km)
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

SLOC Middle Blue.

Very good race. Lost 1 minute on 5, and maybe 25 on 10. Perhaps I had another 30 seconds of inefficiencies, but a lot of legs were perfect.

In the running, I had some flashbacks to the way I used to feel running. Which was good, although probably due to a chemical imbalance in the brain (like deja vu.)

Corn maze orienteering. A lot of fun.

Note

At Logan, enjoying my last set of oysters this weekend (3 x 6, starting Friday.) And a large Sam Adams, and reflecting on the weekend.

A great one. Very content right now.

Had some OK orienteering, some good orienteering, and some disappointing orienteering. But, it was really great to hang out with all my orienteering friends. And Ian.

My work situation has not allowed me to train enough to be competitive, but I have trained enough to not embarrass myself. I would like to train more, but unfortunately, cannot count on that.

In any case, this weekend was great. Next weekend CSU will be my enemy, but this weekend, and at all other times, they are my friends. They did a great job. Every minute of orienteering was so fun, so satisfying. And the environment/feel was great.

Thanks!

Orienteering race 1:34:37 [4] **** 12.25 km (7:43 / km)
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

US Long Championships.

It felt like a good race, but I got tired. The tiredness had more of an impact on my orienteering than my running. While it slowed as well, the most pronounced effect was that the orienteering felt much harder to me in the second half, and I was full of hesitations and small errors.

Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [2] ***
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

Warmed up on the model map and the trails. Worked on agility.

Orienteering race 40:39 [4] **** 4.84 km (8:24 / km)
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

US Middle Championships.

Really good, but not great race. Although, in retrospect the lines I took were really good, and in some cases I got lucky. Most of the time I lost was in the control circles. 2 and 14 were poor. But, otherwise, I was moving well.

Orienteering race 19:31 [4] 2.85 km (6:51 / km)

US Sprint Championships.

Would have been satisfied with this, but lost 30 seconds on number 4. The rest of the course was OK. No top end speed, but I got around generally OK.

Probably 1 minute of mistakes overall.

shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

DVOA Evansburg.

Had a disaster, when I ran to 18 instead of 14. It was the worst possible mistake one could have made on that map, and it was demoralizing and penalizing.

Orienteering race 1:24:47 [4]
shoes: October 2010 Oroc 280

Boulder Dash day 2. Another decent race. Just sort of jogging along and keeping it under control.

Jordan caught up to me, but he was a little sloppy for a few controls and I could stay with him for a while, until I took a very bad bearing and lost 2 minutes and Jordan for good.
