Training Log Archive: Sandy

Solid effort. Small hesitations on a couple controls and two errors each about 2 minutes (#6 & 7). Good enough to win F50 and be 5th overall on GreenY. The increased training this fall paid off - allowing me to push for most of both days even on fairly long courses (for GreenY). Only felt really fatigued at the very end of day2 when I didn't want to pick up my feet any more and kept stumbling. Loved the terrain and courses; excellent US Champs. Wonderful weekend - thanks MNOC.

Green Y - Splits

US Champs Day 1. Tentative on 1-4; slow but no real trouble. Could not make myself go the way I wanted to go to 5 - just kept drifting. Knew pretty much where I was the whole time but slow and sloppy. Finally got it together after 5 with only a few small bobbles after that.

Green Y - Splits

Model Event - slow jog around model event course just trying to get used to the map and terrain. Planned to do a little more but it started raining and I decided keeping dry and warm was just as valuable as visiting controls again.

easy 15 min walk/jog down into the valley, 2 mile jog at 10:30 pace, 15 min hike home

walking down to the main trail for a run and back home

run on the big main trail - felt slow but one of my better times (4:55, 9:43, 4:30, 5:02, 4:45)
