Strength Training 20:00 [3]
Orienteering 34:24 [2] 5.98 km (5:45 / km)
shoes: Asics Cumulus 11 (Nov 2009)
Easy training at University of Arizona campus, course designed by Boris. Fun to do this in the evening, but perhaps a bit too long (knee hurt for the second half).

Running 22:19 [3] 3.19 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Cumulus 11 (Nov 2009)
6 hill intervals up a sandy road (about 210 meters in total, maybe 15m climb?). Feet hurt, but the padded shoes and soft ground (no rocks) made it tolerable. Times were 1:12, 1:10, 1:07, 1:07, 1:05, 1:05. Quads were feeling tired on the last one, so I stopped. Knee was ok on the way up, but hurt if I tried to run back down, so I walked. Lots of rest. :)

Event: Georgia Navigator Cup
Running 7:00 [2] 1.17 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Mudclaws (Aug 2009)
Jog to the start.
Orienteering 1:28:00 8.0 km (11:00 / km)
shoes: Mudclaws (Aug 2009)
Anza Borrego B-meet, day 1. I was so excited to be running again, especially in this beautiful place, that I didn't force myself to read the map carefully, and of course therefore had quite some trouble on a few controls. Then my feet started hurting after about half of the course (lots of rocks and sand led to bad blisters), so I limped the last few controls. Totally worth it anyway - this is the most fun I've had running in a long time.

Strength Training 20:00 [1]
More electric exercises - about the same level as last time (roughly a 2).
XC skiing 50:00 [2]
Drove to Farmington with Boris and two Yale skiiers and did a "race" around a man-made snow loop (about 750m?) at Winding Trails. There were no tracks for classic, so I borrowed a pair of rental skate skis and used my classic poles. Felt really, really slow - a combination of the snow, heavy rental skis, short poles, and hill. My arms got a good workout, though.

Running 31:33 [2] 4.51 km (7:00 / km)
More snow running at East Rock. Looked at a Harriman map. Outside of left knee hurt, but it's not as bad in the snow, so I think it's worth it.
Swimming 20:00 [3]
Got my new Speedo suit (to replace the one that cat ate last year) and went to the pool. Left achilles area felt fine in the beginning, just a bit stiff, but got increasingly worse. Also, ears hurt when I did backstroke. Ever since that one awful flight before Team Trials, they've been really sensitive to any kind of changes in pressure. :(
