Walking 20:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)

trying to clear a fuzzy head- discombobulated; this too shall come to pass.

Jogging warm up/down (trail) 21:08 [2] 4.0 km (5:17 / km)

Body seems willing- brain not so.

Strength (arms and core) 30:00 [3]

2 weeks off and it seems so much harder. Anyhow 15/15 A/C 3x12 and 15#

Note

Musings aka lessons learnt (?) based on input from the home oracle- put as "I could have told you that". General fatigue, jet lag and relo stress do not make for good orienteering :-)

Sunday May 6, 2012 #

Walking warm up/down 9:00 [1] 1.0 km (9:00 / km)

To start

Orienteering (Green long) 30:00 [2] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)

Started, but quickly realized head not in it and was going to be a long day, bailed at 1 and trailed it home. Too many distractions at present, so may have to give O up for a while.

C • Change 3

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.4 km (11:15 / km)

back early to attack the honey-do list (reality of impending move and relo disruption sinking in!) and walk the dogs.

Event: 33rd West Point A Meet

Walking warm up/down 12 [1] 1.6 km (7 / km) +200m 5 / km

Up to start

Orienteering (Green middle) 40:00 [3] 4.0 km (10:00 / km)

Gave up at #9. No energy, brain not engaged, residual JL and early drive down all conspired to create problems from the get go. Got bogged in swamp on way to #1, lost time relocating. Problems on 6, 7 and 8 and by 9 I wasn't feeling it for the course. Walked in and enjoyed afternoon/ social engagements :-)

Orienteering race (WP sprint) 16:21 [3] *** 2.05 km (7:59 / km) +65m 6:53 / km
spiked:13/15c

My favorite discipline and sadly not much better than am. Legs not responsive and tried to push. About 2:15 of errors most on #4- saw the flag and went to punch saw code 138 and said no I'm looking for 144!! Went to 5 before realizing error -almost 2 mins right there. Afraid of being caught by tp 2 mins behind, tried to up pace and made 20 sec error on 8 lured to another control. Oh well......tomorrow is another day.

Green Y Sprint - Splits

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.4 km (11:15 / km)
(rest day)

Late afternoon outing

Thursday May 3, 2012 #

Event: CSU Park-O 3: Boston Common

Walking 21:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:30 / km)

Fresh but damp.

Jogging (trail) 24:19 [3] 5.0 km (4:52 / km) +40m 4:41 / km

Too much to do, brain dead and couldn't face drive into Boston for park O so went for a run in GBF instead. Kept stride short and cadence high, but will need to do some strides tomorrow.

Note
(rest day)

Travel day.
Came across some interesting history (not hard to do in the UK) related to WWII and the art / science of photo reconnaisance - earliest days of stereoscopic aerial photos, rendered into target maps (BW with magenta so could be read by night-time bomber crews wearing orange tinted goggles.) Anyhow, stayed at a "stately home" hotel that was RAF Medmenham where the photos were interpreted before being sent to Hughenden house (summer home of Disreali) for mapping. Not dissimilar to Bletchley Park, another mansion requisitioned for the war effort. As an aside, an aura of siege and stoicism still pervades Britain today. Glad we didn't have to wait hours to gain entry at Border control.
On another note will be heading to the Mini apple later this month- new job and relocation- another journey!

C • Mini apple? 3

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.5 km (10:48 / km)

Home again! Greeted by an absence of rain. Quick outing for fresh air.

Tuesday May 1, 2012 #

Jogging warm up/down (Trail) 18:59 [2] 3.25 km (5:50 / km)

With 10x100m strides. Better than nothing.

C • you know whats funny, I loo... 3

Walking 40:00 [1] 3.6 km (11:07 / km)

Between rain and shine.

Swimming 10:00 [2] 0.5 km (20:00 / km)

In lieu of arms/core

Note

Packing and homeward bound in am. BOS by midday, park O then WP- jet lag permitting.
