Event: OOC B-meet
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:36:38 [5] *** 6.4 km (15:06 / km)
spiked:13/13c
Sunday morning orienteering in the March Highlands...
Started off OK. Coming in to punch 2 (I took the trickier non-trail route because I thought I could use the practice), I tripped on an invisible log and fell with my knee ramming into a second log. Tried running it off to 3, felt a bit better. Caught the wrong trail on my way to 4, and while trying to figure out where I was on the map, I stubbed my toe on a ministump and went flying. The strap fell off my watch and I landed on my arm/shoulder/another damn log. I was still kinda lost, so I started limping along the trail. Once I realized where I was, I got 4, 5 and then headed off for 6... !30!min later, with some well-intentioned-but-misdirected help from mountain bikers, and some helpful directions from fellow orienteerers, I was able to finally find that control (but not without first stubbing my other toe). Finished pretty well. If I had been two seconds faster, I woulda beaten (Robbie's time)x2! Something to strive for next time...
Toe joints are nicely swollen, hopefully I'll be able to run Tuesday!

Running 35:00 [4] 6.5 km (5:23 / km)
Tried to mimic Francis' OOC workout from yesterday.
2k warmup @4.50/k
2.5k 'time trial' @ 4.11/k, 10.35, 183bpm
2k warmdown @5.10/k
Felt slow in the time trial -- only gave myself 2min rest after the warmup. It's lonely/boring by yourself :)
Kept looking at my watch to see that I was going 4.10min/k, but no matter how much harder I tried, I didn't go any faster. Sucky.
Goals: 20.30 5k*, 42.00 10k by October.
*I was going to say 21.00 for the 5k, but I just ran that pace tonight (albeit for only half the distance), so I better get better!

Orienteering race (Summer Solstice) 54:30 [5] ** 6.5 km (8:23 / km)
ahr:190 max:198 spiked:28/28c
HOT day. Felt exhausted about 20min into the race, and then I lost my focus at about 40min. Good thing I had left the easier controls for last!
I'm out of running shape -- only ran once in the previous 2 weeks (stupid knees).
