Terrain (Trail) 28:00 [2]
weight:180lbs
Original plan was to train at night, but then Kate got a call from a friend who wanted her to come over this evening, so that moved the training to the late afternoon. The problem is, I found out about this in the late afternoon after having downed a fair bit of wine. Wasn't really sure what to expect; I was a little woozy during the warmup.

But it turns out you can be fairly accurate even when buzzed. I ran a control picking course at Lone Elk (1:7500). My running form was nothing I'd care to take into competition, but I didn't miss any controls by more than a few seconds. Of course, Lone Elk is pretty easy nav, but the map looks an awful lot like the preview map of Burnet Woods I just got from OCIN, so it should be good prep for this weekend.

Running (Road) 18:00 [2]
weight:178lbs
Warmup/dn.
Orienteering (Woods) 20:38 [4] *** 2.5 km (8:15 / km) +95m 6:56 / km

Emmenegger Test Loop (1:10). PR! Surprising, since I left my spikes at home by accident. One face plant due to lack of traction and a couple slips, but overall I was surprised how fast I could get through the woods with regular running shoes.

Long legs mixed with control picking at Meremac (1:15). Trying to train shifting gears between rough nav and attacking the control. Map.

Lunchtime warmup on the elliptical.
Gym (Weights) 18:00 [5]
Warmup and heavy set, upper only.

Legs felt a bit better today, but still not good enough for the Test Loop. So, I contented myself with a control picking course at Rockwoods (1:15) with one long leg thrown in halfway just for some variety. Too bad my legs are shot because this was a PR kind of day: cool, dry, and fast woods.

Legs are trashed. I guess the Sunday/Monday combo was a bit much only 2 weeks after the marathon. Did an high-RPM workout on the elliptical at lunch to get some life back in them.
Orienteering (Park) 26:00 [2] **

Checked the sprint course at Forest Park (1:5). A few things have changed, but nothing that mandates remapping.

Terrain (Trail) 29:00 [2] *
weight:178lbs
An easy day is clearly in order. Jogged around Castlewood between courses. I've introduced a new training mode: Terrain. I've decided to separate out all my running on soft/uneven surfaces. This will replace the old "Map Running" category and also bring in trail running with or without a map. I'll recategorize back to the start of this year.

Two short courses on the Castlewood (1:15) flood plain. Easy pace.

Gym (Weights) 21:00 [3]
weight:180lbs
Had my body comp checked at the fitness center. They used proper technique with calipers, so I think it's a reliable reading. Interestingly, my lean mass has hardly changed since my peak years. I would have expected more muscle loss. Current lean weight is 165 pounds, so 170-172 (3-4% bf) seems like a reasonable target weight.
Since I was already dressed, I went ahead and did a couple quick sets on the upper body machines.

Chubb trail from Tyson to Lone Elk then back to the picnic table where I stashed my map.
Between yesterday's race and the 25-degree increase in temps, I had no legs for this one at all. Of course, that was the point. I was trying to train my ability to stay focused when I'm tired. So I immediately continued with...

Super hilly control picking course at Tyson. Did a fair job of staying focused - just one boom and not a particularly bad one at that.
