trail running 4:43:28 [3] 26.4 mi (10:44 / mi)
weight:140lbs shoes: Air Max Trail
Nipmuck Trail Marathon. It could have been worse. No blisters, no chafing, no stomach problems, no achilles/calf problems. And I suppose it was a good exercise in willpower, just to keep plugging along. Or maybe it was a good exercise in stupidity, just to keep plugging along.
Wicked hot, pushing 90. My legs had no zip right from the start. I've run the course close to a dozen times, and have a few places where I always take splits, and at every place the splits today were bad. Which was understandable given the heat, age, and lack of long runs in training. But still rather discouraging. Took 3 falls, plus must have kicked rocks (from not lifting my feet as high as I thought I was as I got tired) at least 50 times.
Bottoms of the feet feel pulverized, quads will be sore for a few days. Think I need to go back to sprinting....

track 15:29 [5] 4.0 km (3:52 / km)
max:170 weight:139lbs shoes: Air Max Trail
Withe the gang at the Eaglebrook track. Plan was 5 x 1000 with a slow 200 jog between, would have aimed for about 3:50 each, but it was warmer than it's been (75) and 3:55 would have been more reasonable. Ended up doing 3:48, 3:50, 3:53, 3:58 (see a trend there?), and bagging the last one, which was very smart. Reminded me how little I like hot weather.
Now a couple of days off, then a try at Nipmuck on Sunday, though it is supposed to be warm and I'm not optimistic.

biking 49:12 [4] 15.3 mi (3:13 / mi)
weight:141lbs
Leverett loop clockwise, best for the loop by about 40 seconds.
Outside of right foot still sore -- landed on a rock badly in Ottawa 10 days ago, must have got it again at the Water Gap on Monday without realizing it (or maybe without remembering it), as it was really sore when I got home. But it seems to have calmed down a good bit after some moderately active therapy on the golf course. Still planning on running Nipmuck Marathon (trails) on Sunday.

trail running 10:00 [3]
shoes: Integrators
Warm-ups, pretty minimal.
orienteering 13:31 [5] 2.0 km (6:46 / km) +2461ft 2:21 / km
shoes: Integrators
Sprint #1 at the Water Gap. Another good effort, ran hard all the way.
orienteering 13:18 [5] 2.1 km (6:20 / km) +2461ft 2:16 / km
shoes: Integrators
Sprint #2, another good effort. Now just need to learn to keep the pace up on longer courses. Routes/comments.
Overall a really fine event. Good courses, arrangements, vibes, weather, fun. Can't ask for anything more. Credit to Sandy for the idea and the execution, plus setting the two sprints, plus running the e-punching, plus hanging most of the day 1 controls and all of the day 2 ones; to Tom Overbaugh for running the start operation for both sprints; to Jim Eagleton for lots of general help, to Alexei Azaraov for the day 1 courses, to Ann and Charlie Leonard for check-in/registration, and to various Team/DVOA members for help in picking up controls and cleaning up.
