Event: ROC - Stop-By-Rochester-On-Your-Way
 
3 AM

orienteering race 13:18 intensity: (42 @0) + (11 @1) + (1:17 @2) + (2:59 @3) + (8:09 @4) ** 2.57 km (5:11 / km) +36m 4:50 / km
ahr:143 max:164 spiked:12/12c

Sprint at Webster Park in Rochester. Lots of open fields, a few greenish patches, and a wet creek crossing. Felt pretty good running, even without really warming up and after a cheeseburger sub for lunch two hours before. Finished second behind Zack Lyons.
4 PM

orienteering race 51:36 intensity: (41 @0) + (24 @1) + (1:15 @2) + (21:28 @3) + (26:52 @4) + (56 @5) *** 7.69 km (6:43 / km) +59m 6:28 / km
ahr:147 max:169 spiked:29/29c

Score-O afterwards. Didn't really feel like route planning too much, and the point values weren't in too much of an order, so I just went out planning on getting them all, and bailing when I ran out of time. Never ran out of time, and finished first ahead of Charlie by a couple minutes.

Also stepped in a swamp, went in halfway up to my knee, and came back out without the shoe on. Took about a minute of digging up to my elbows to find it and pull the shoe back out. That was fun.

Sprint A - Splits

Event: Niagara Falls Sprints
 
3 PM

run 10:06 intensity: (10 @1) + (40 @2) + (8:15 @3) + (1:01 @4) 1.46 km (6:56 / km) +1m 6:55 / km
ahr:162 max:192

orienteering race 12:59 intensity: (17 @0) + (4 @1) + (10 @2) + (1:11 @3) + (10:38 @4) + (39 @5) ** 2.81 km (4:37 / km) +13m 4:31 / km
ahr:154 max:171 spiked:15/15c

Sprint on Goat Island, in the middle of Niagra Falls (find the control). Not the most interesting for route choice, since it was basically just a run around the path on the outside of the island. But a cool location none the less, so a fun day. Felt pretty good running, could actually try to go fastish today. Then to Rochester for delicious dinner at Rick and Linda's.

ahr:154 max:198 spiked:22/22c

GLOF o-cross motala. had two days of food in me, and I was feeling pretty good, so I managed to mostly run the first two maps (but then walked most of the third). lots of steep muddy ravines to go up and down today, but they weren't too much of a problem at the speed I was going. still slipped and fell a lot, and managed to stop the garmin somewhere near the end of the second map, and didn't notice it until I fell again towards the end of the third map and turned it back on.

10 AM

orienteering 2:30:39 intensity: (8 @0) + (4 @1) + (5:57 @2) + (1:00:12 @3) + (1:21:23 @4) + (2:55 @5) *** 9.49 mi (15:52 / mi) +246m 14:41 / mi
ahr:148 max:175 spiked:24/24c

GLOF long. I don't really like longs when I'm healthy, so this was less-than-normal-fun. went out of my way to take trail routes, which was ok since the trails around here are actually pretty nice.

Long 8 - Splits

Event: 2010 Golden Leaf Orienteering Fest
 
10 AM

run 9:16 [0] 0.89 mi (10:25 / mi) +38m 9:12 / mi

warmup for the sprint.

as a general preamble for the weekend, I'd like to claim the following excuses:
1. some 100+ hours of travel to get here.
2. 12 timezones of jetlag.
3. no running for the last three weeks.
4. giardia, trichinosis and/or an angry tapeworm.
5. muddy hillsides + no cleats.
6. no sleep for most of last week (see #1 and #2).
7. no eating for most of last week (see #4).

that will be all.

orienteering race 22:58 [4] ***
spiked:17/17c

GLOF sprint. or maybe "shorter" is a better name for it, as I was wasn't moving at much of a sprint pace.
2 PM

orienteering race 54:36 [0] *** 3.76 mi (14:31 / mi) +192m 12:32 / mi
spiked:19/19c

GLOF middle. started early so I could drive Alex back to the airport afterwards. got wicked lost on one of them, but that just meant extra swamp time, which was nice because we don't have those back home.
