Event: Deschutes Daze 2019

9 AM

hiking 12:35 0.62 mi (20:21 / mi)
ahr:102 max:115

orienteering 1:37:10 4.08 mi (23:49 / mi) +93m 22:15 / mi
ahr:133 max:173

One silly route choice and one major error. On the route choice I thought about going a bit out of my way to take a trail route around a steep hillside but then decided how bad could it be and just went straight. And regretted it. Had to sit down to get down and even that felt treacherous. Then thought I was reading things into what I knew would be a tough control, but my track shows I was way off. Got lucky - after way too long - and found a control later on my course and was able to use that to relocate. I was not where I thought I was!

But the weather is fabulous and it's fun to be orienteering on challenging maps.

Double session with trainer. Worked hard. There was lots of sweat.

Note

Episode 2 of what I think is an ocular migraine. Not quite as bad as the first one 12 days ago. I plan to track them so I have a record.

Sort of a rest day. Did a couple hours of pulling weeds and trimming bushes.

I've accumulated some extra training sessions so I did a double today. Discovered that my left arm is considerably weaker than my right.

A leisurely hike in the Wissahickon. Met one dog on a leash that lunged and barked at me and two dogs off leash that trotted along behind their owner paying me not the least bit of attention.

Although it looks like I'm walking in the water, I think the GPS track may be fairly accurate. They have completely rebuilt the beaches with a new huge dune and then a flat beach that is much wider than it used to be.

5 minute warm up on the treadmill, then a longish session with the trainer since she didn't have anyone before me so we started early.

Event: DVOA Nolde Forest

10 AM

orienteering 56:22 2.63 mi (21:27 / mi) +154m 18:09 / mi
ahr:142 max:184

orienteering 23:07 [3]

I was bopping along doing reasonably well, taking an aggressive route to 8 and feeling good that it worked perfectly then headed off to 10 which was a long route choice leg. Suddenly realized I hadn't gone to 9 so had to turn around and go back. Glanced at my watch wondering how much time I had lost and realized I never started my watch. So this is the rest of the time on the course.

Spiked most controls and am happy with my route choices. There is a large trail network and the legs that were set and the swathes of out-of-bounds made for some interesting choices. I tried to jog on the trails but my knee was getting pretty sore by the end. It's been bothering me a bit the last few days (ever since the marathon car drive actually which I think is the culprit) although it feels fine this evening.

12 PM

orienteering 55:00 [3]

Choose-O. Kind of like Trail-O but you had to go into the terrain to punch the correct control.

strength & stretching 1:00:00 [3]

Class at the gym. Almost didn't go - stayed up late last night and so woke up late this morning and so barely had time to get there and thought about bagging it but didn't. Good class - not sure if I was working harder or if the AC wasn't cranked up but I was really sweating today.

strength & stretching 49:24 0.85 mi (58:07 / mi)
ahr:101 max:130

Session with trainer plus warm up by walking to gym (not logged) and some time on the treadmill (logged - fast walking 10% incline) plus the abductor and adductor machines after the session just because I felt like it and then the walk home (not logged).

Nothing especially exciting in the session; it was a new trainer and we were both feeling each other out.

Class at the gym. Stuck with the light weights for most everything since It's been a while and that was a good call.

Final day of visit, more time at the middle terrain and the sprint venue.

And more driving in the rain. And a little bit of getting rained on while walking around.

map hiking 3:30:00 [3]

Hiking around the middle terrain. I'm tired.

We have had rain the last three days from about 2:15 until 4pm. Luckily we've been either done by 2 (today), or able to be inside (yesterday and Wednesday) for some of it but the drive back to where we're staying each day has been in downpours. Serious downpours with thunder and lightning.

Walking around the sprint relay and sprint model areas for the World Games.
