Orienteering race (Long at the Fells) 1:04:25 [4] **** 6.3 km (10:13 / km) +190m 8:53 / km
spiked:13/15c

Much better effort today and certainly glad I went. Slept reasonably well night before, brain not so foggy and physical energy improving. Fun course by Dean, trail macro route choice predominated. Left a few minutes out there (mainly 7-8, and 11-12, mostly trail confusion). Second to a faster (fresher?) Ernst who broke the hour. Good to hang out for a while in the sunshine. Forgot FR again!

Note
slept:6.0

Mental acuity / frame much improved today as evidenced by getting to and from event parking without disorientation.

Note

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the super job executed by CSU logistically, top class courses and arena ambiance. Nothing like a tent in a sunlit field (cf UNOs BB event with ETOH beverage) with music to boot- just need to add a groovy DJ to the announcer mix, wide screen TVs :-) yada yada. Seriously a fun 3 days- thanks!

Walking 22:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:00 / km)

Post funk walk- had a laugh with a neighbor.

Walking warm up/down 25:00 [1] 2.3 km (10:52 / km)

Managed to get lost on the way to the middle start !- followed someone else and didn't see the streamers- thus ventured onto course- a DQ!

10 AM

Orienteering (middle green X) 56:43 [3] ***** 5.81 km (9:46 / km) +141m 8:42 / km
spiked:10/15c

Not a lot good to say except to quote my wife " do you really think you should run today?" Which was more statement than question. And truth be told needed to rest up - no mental reserves and physically flat- so what do you expect from an intense work week across the pond and jetlag?! Purely rhetorical question this one.
Anyhow overall totally - - - - run at least after #7 (same pattern as yesterday- first half OK then no capacity to sort out problem) So #8 a loss of 15mins by misreading map- extra marsh ?- stopped too soon and bingo lost the plot. Lost interest after that and purely went through the motions to finish. Grade F and no pleasure from outing whatsoever. Sl =3.5 vs FR of 5.8- :-)
Debating whether to even show up tomorrow

Event: US S/M/L Champs 2011 & WRE

Walking 26:00 [1] 2.4 km (10:50 / km)

nice fall day

Stretching 15:00 [0]

getting the kinks out.

Note

A pleasant day outside in the sunshine at Franklin Park, unfortunately energy really flagged mid afternoon around start time. Left around 4pm and had a 2 hour drive hone- got befuddled by roads back to mass pike (probably why I've never ventured to FP before)- at one stage pulled over because my driving sucked. Resisted closing my eyes which would have been the end of getting home. So life in the fast lane and getting back at 11.30 last night took its toll.

Orienteering race (sprint champs) 22:22 [4] *** 2.3 km (9:43 / km) +80m 8:17 / km
spiked:14/18c

Very sloppy run and energy just not there- first part OK then left a big chunk of time on 10 (3mins) and 10-15 sec misses on several others. Squeaked in for win. Challenging / technical course by Brendan SL 2.3k.
