Event: CNYO A meet
orienteering 17:34 [4] 2.48 km (7:05 / km) +256ft 6:07 / km
weight:132lbs shoes: new Integrators
Sprint at the CNYO A Meet. Felt great!* Didn't run so well and missed one control (30 seconds or so), but still felt great.
Wet/sloppy/muddy, lots of chest-high goldenrod in the rough open areas, but I had a late start so it was tracked out.
* George was on my case about complaining too much, always someone wrong, something hurts, who knows. I don't know know what he's talking about, can't remember the last time when I didn't feel just great!

Middle distance in the afternoon, M21 again just for the hell of it (M45 is where I belong). Not a very good run which got worse the longer I looked at my map -- lost time on 4 of the first 5 points and then more on the last two controls before the end, but in between I suppose it was ok except for numerous falls in the rough open. But felt great again!
Times were slower than I expected, best was a few seconds under 50.
Nice job by the CNYO folks doing the organizing on a wet day.

Tried to warm-up for both races. Legs didn't feel as tired for the afternoon race as I though they would. Tomorrow may be another matter....

track 23:09 [4] 6.0 km (3:52 / km)
weight:133lbs shoes: Pegasus 10/05
Starting to feel better, just a little headache. Was planning on going to the 5K XC race in Holyoke, but O' practice went longer than expected and I wasn't sure I would get there in time. So I opted for the Thursday evening group at the Eaglebrook track.
1600, 1600, 800, 800, 800, 400, 400. 1600s on an 8-minute cycle, 800s on a 4 minute cycle, 400s on a 2 minute cycle.
Splits: 6:24, 6:21, 3:03, 3:00, 2:58, 1:23, skipped the last 400, first 400 was close to all out and I wasn't up for another.... But overall, ran better than I expected. Maybe not the smartest workout before three races this weekend, but necessary from a psychological point of view (to combat a sense that I had lost all my conditioning in my days as a vegetable).
