Running 43:10 6.44 km (6:42 / km) +48m 6:28 / km
ahr:139 max:154 shoes: 2014 Saucony cohesions
Phase 1 complete! Phase 2 starts today with a recovery run. That felt fine but I've felt worse and worse during the day and am a bit worried I am getting ill. Early night tonight and I hope that will sort me out. I don't think the crazy weather changes are helping.

Event: WCOC Osbornedale State Park
Note
Have started using my DOMA again - maps from the last few weeks at: http://sprintseries.org/doma/index.php?user=becks
Today's final control mistake is particularly agonising!

Hmm...mixed feelings about today. Two obvious big mistakes - the first attacking number 7 from above rather than below - lots of windblow and crag was unclear from above but massive from below. Then ran right to the final control, but the flag was hung very low and it was surrounded by a group of guys taking a very long time to do a bearing, so I never saw it. Cue re-attack from up the hill, then overshoot to below, before eventually returning to the same boulder I started at. Booo. Very frustrating way to end. Thought I was running okay but I think that only applied to the flat and downhills, because I was a long long way back from the big boys, 4 mins per km. Despite those two mistakes I don't think I lost ten minutes on them! Work to do! Definitely out of puff and sore legged on the ups.
Time here includes a warm up jog to the bathroom and a short warm down after to get up to distance.

After a lovely brunch with my Italians, I took a recovery run up at West Rock. I expected it to feel tough, and it actually felt pretty wonderful. Easily staying well below 70%, not too slow considering the trails. A bit stiff by the end, but walked it off. Nice!

Then to Harriman for a snowy epic! It will be titled "Until the Cliffs turn to Boulders," but I am currently too shattered from the foot of snow and gorgeousness to write it!

Event: Thanksgiving Training Camp
10 AM
Orienteering 1:24:25 [3] 8.63 km (9:47 / km) +192m 8:48 / km
shoes: Integrators 5000
Out to the Fells for a girlie Thanksgiving party. We orienteered all together and it was a lot of fun. I can't say I read my map very much, but that was okay. Then we ate lots of yummy food for the whole rest of the day.

Zan joined me early and we drove to Newton before the rain turned to snow. The drive was easier than expected and so we hung out in Newton for a little while before driving out for a run. By then it was slushy snowy hailey rainy stuff, and we had a fun time looping around just before it got dark.

Felt a bit tired earlier on in the day but after an afternoon of trying to resist bringing home pet rats I strapped on the headlamp and set out. Headlamp was seriously annoying until I came up with a pigtail arrangement that clamped the stupid thing into place. Then it was a real pleasure to run, a little through the woods and some on the roads. Still quite warm - all ready for the first storm of the season tomorrow!
