Training Log Archive: Sandy

Event: DVOA Governor Dick
 

Couldn't get to sleep after the drive home and then remembered I was supposed to do pushups. So got up and did 7 sets of 20, cleaning up all the stuff from the weekend that I just sort of dumped in the middle of the living room in between sets as my rest.

C • Gimme 20 1

Brown course at the Pig. Middle distance although it felt more like a woods sprint given all the trails. Pretty disappointing race. Basically just slow. I was using the magnifier a lot but still not really able to get a mental picture of what I should be seeing so really hesitating a lot and stopping to read. Only one real error - missed a trail junction, so got very turned around and lost about 3 minutes trying to sort out just what I had done, where I was and where I needed to go.

Made the drive home in under 10 hours without getting drowsy. Didn't feel like that bad a drive so all in all a good decision to go out for the weekend.

Sunday Brown - Splits

Ultra Long Green course at the Pig. The hope was to finish in 2:15. This would have happened -and then some - without my major goof at #3 to the tune of about 12 minutes. I'm still not sure why I had so much trouble with that control...

Ran quite a bit more than I thought I would be able to and only felt the hills right near the end.

Saturday UL Green - Splits

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XV & US ULtralong Champs
 

Brown course at the Pig. Some good legs and a couple not so good. Could see #3 but couldn't get there through the green crap - should have gone around. Not the best routes to #8 and #9. Then got within two feet of #10 and thought I looked over the edge of the earth bank far enough to see that there was no control there when in fact it was there which I discovered 6 minutes later when I came back...

10 sets of 15

Friday Brown - Splits

TNT - Indian hike with Sandy. Neither one of us felt like running so we didn't.

5 sets of 25
