Misc 1:00:00 [2]
slept:3.0 weight:178lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 2
In just before midnight last night. Slept a little in the car then couldn't sleep when I went to bed around 1230...
Alarm woke us at 5:20, and I didn't have any problem getting out of bed.
Session was okay - Bobby was the only instructor & he does too much swaying and swinging type stuff.
Did do lots of JJ, Mountain Climbers, jogging & sprinting, pushup (some), situps (some).
Probably just right for today since I am pooped.

Orienteering race (COK Green-Y) 1:44:58 [4] 5.1 km (20:35 / km) +190m 17:21 / km
shoes: Silva K80
Second day and an even earlier start at just before 8 AM...clear, crisp morning - very nice. Now, the real test, could I handle having the lead?
I started slow and steady with some small errors and then bam! I started to fall apart on a control that I knew I needed to be careful on. I haven't evaluated my tracks yet, but I was pretty close early on. Nothing looked like an easy place to bail to, but in retrospect, I should have done that anyway. It may have saved me more time. I told myself not to panic and eventually found it - about an 18 minute error. 1st F45 for the weekend, and second to Eileen on Day 2.
Map is here.

Orienteering race (COK Green-Y) 1:25:03 [4] *** 5.0 km (17:01 / km) +195m 14:14 / km
shoes: Silva K80
Early start in order to work results afterwards. Charlie D went out 5 minutes ahead of me and I never saw him again. At the time I finished, I was a bit disappointed with the slow time, but in retrospect, it was quite good. First woman by 50+ minutes and 11th overall.
Lots of green, rainy and wet (thank goodness for the recent contact lens purchase), and just felt like everything was an effort.

Running 12:00 [3] 1.2 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Silva K80
Ran pretty steady to the start - it was mostly flat or downhill, I think...

Orienteering race (COK Sprint) 25:19 [3] *** 2.1 km (12:03 / km)
11c shoes: Jalas Black FLX
Sprint - first out in order to turn on the controls. Barely held off Vladimir with an 11 minute head start. Not warmed up enough, so breathing was a struggle. Mostly stuck with my plan to use trails at all times, but the one time I ventured in, I nailed #10 when others floundered there... Happy to have my contact in instead of glasses due to the rainy conditions - reminds me of the last time I was here in July 04.

Misc 1:00:00 [3]
slept:6.0 weight:176lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 1
Good session today, though the time seemed to drag - go figure. Warmup run, stretching, JJ, Burpees and Mountain Climbers, jumping up & down reaching up against the wall, wall sits, squats, holding the squat position for 1 minute, pulsing squats, running, Body Shapers - all of this stuff in sets. And situps while waiting for others to finish.

Misc 1:00:00 [2]
slept:6.0 weight:174lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 2
A better day today - another 20 people present. A 4 lap Range Run (.8 mile). Band work - bicep curls, shoulder presses, arm lifts, etc. Body Shapers (10 x 3), puchups (20, 15, 10). Some other stuff.
Left hip little sore today. And neck is still stiff - has been painful to turn to the left for the last 5 days or so.

Misc 20:00 [1]
slept:7.0 weight:175lbs shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 1
A grumpy session for me - thought it was going to be a long run, but it was a run with stops to do stuff. I hate that - 20 of us doing jumping jacks, body shapers, and band work on the side of the W&OD bike trail while the commuters wiz by.
Running 40:00 [3] 4.25 mi (9:25 / mi)
shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 1
The running portion of the session - probably about 9:45 pace or so going out. But at the end, he had us too far out with 20 minutes left. So, I hauled back in about 8:45-9 min pace for the 1.75 miles.
It was fun running together - we had a good group of four. And I really enjoyed the return trip on my own. But the rest of the setup made me grumpy.
Now, do I run tonight, or did I get enough in this morning?

Running (Wakefield HS Track) 30:00 [3] 3.1 mi (9:41 / mi)
shoes: Saucony 7 - Banana 1
Decided that I needed a run this evening, so I took a chance that the track was free, and it was. Looks like a soccer game a little later on...
Just an easy pace. Hip a little sore near the end, so that seemed to be a good time to stop.
Beautiful evening. Wore my iPod, so I didn't have to hear my heavy breathing.
