Bike - MTN (Trail-a-bike) 15:00 [2] 1.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Trail-a-bike
Hayden wanted to go for a ride on the 'three wheeler', so I hooked the trail-a-bike up to the mountain bike and we did a short ride down on the dirt road and back. First climbing up on the mtn bike it felt really wierd with the seat so much higher than the bent and within those 15 minutes of riding all the reasons I went bent in the first place came back to me - lower back was getting sore and that saddle up my butt really wasn't all that pleasant.
Bike - Recumbent (goofing around) 20:00 [3]
shoes: Slipstream
Tried readjusting the seat for a slightly more reclined angle - I had been riding it pretty upright, but it just didn't feel right. not really uncomfortable, but I was looking for more. The more reclined angle felt really good while riding with more weight distributed on the back but stopping without sitting forward is definitely on the toes only. I'd prefer to stop flatfooted and remain reclined. Not a big issue, just one I'll have to get used to I guess. TIme is just a rough guess tooling around the driveway and road in front of the house.. Will have to wait for a longer ride to really evaluate the new position.

Run - Trail race (Soapstone Sampler) 27:28 [5] 6.1 km (4:30 / km) +100m 4:10 / km
shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
Cool, light rain. Ran sampler w/ Jackson and Anna - due to handicapped starts, they went off before me and we all agreed that we would run our own races rather than run together. So I actually raced the course - with the goal of not getting passed by any faster runners starting after me. (I had a 1:58 lead over scratch runners due to my advancing years). Ran well, only passed by one person but couldn't quite catch the 3rd place finisher in the field leading to the finish. Settled for 4th overall. Still, I think that this is a new PR for the sampler course which I've run well over a hundred times over the years. Wish I were faster though..
Run - Road (Sampler redux) 30:00 [3] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
Jogged back out on the course after finishing to see where Anna and Jackson were - they were on the climb up woodchuck and walking together. I stayed with Anna and Jackson took off running - apparently running the entire remainder of the course - said he passed 5 or 6 people on the way back in - probably a good confidence booster for him. I walked the rest of the course with Anna who didn't have any more running in her.
Bike - Stationary (garage) 20:00 [3] 6.0 km (3:20 / km)
shoes: Slipstream
Hayden wanted to ride his bike in the driveway, so I lugged the trainer up from the basement and set it up in the garage and read some more of Barefoot Sisters that I started in February and never finished. Legs kind of tight from this mornings effort so I just kind of spun at a leisurely rate...

Event: Billygoat
Note
Rainy crappy day, so I got caught up on drafting today. Looks like Mon-Thur next week should be nice so I hope to finish up the portions of the map that will be used for the June 10th meet.

Run - Trail 5:00 [2] 0.75 km (6:40 / km)
(sick) shoes: Kumasi GTX
Started out to warm up before testing Sprint A for the June 10th meet. But it was cold (43F) and raining so I decided to jog directly to the start and run the damn course and go home - not my favorite weather...
Orienteering (Sprint A) 17:10 [3] 2.73 km (6:17 / km)
(sick) shoes: Kumasi GTX
Test run of the first sprint in the cold and rain. Legs a bit sluggish, but the run was pretty smooth. Like the flow of the legs, may shift a couple of controls to fine tune the route choice problems. Distance is actual run, course distance is 2.45
Leaf cover is now fully out (about a week and a half ahead of normal) but since Crandalls is mostly very open woods the running is pretty sweet - even with wet saplings.
I suspect speedy folk like JohnF will be in the 12-13 minute range for this one

Run - Trail 10:00 [2] 1.6 km (6:15 / km)
(sick) shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
warmup run on the Nipmuck before the familiarization run
Run - Trail (Trail Study - familiariza) 41:15 [4] 8.35 km (4:56 / km)
weight:75.3kg (sick) shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
First of a pair of familiarizations runs for an upcoming UConn Trail Running study I'm a guinea pig in. Looking objectively at dehydration and performance by staging (4) 7.5 mile runs - 2 a race pace, 2 at training pace. Each run is (3) 2.5 mile loops at Mansfield Hollow SP with a 4 minute rest while they poke prod and measure you. Each runner will run on of the race pace runs dehydrated, the other with measured hydration. Only ran two loops today to learn the course, next week will do another 3 loops, of which one loop will be at race pace to determine which of 5 seeded groups will be placed into - so basically I won't be running with the young NCAA runners (thank god). I'll probably run the course a few more times before the race series in June. Should be fun...

Fieldwork (Crandalls) 1:00:00 [1]
An hour or so doing some fieldwork at Crandalls. They still haven't finished with the new parking lot, but it looks like most of the rough grade is done so I should be able to map it as is and have it wind up close enough.
Orienteering (Crandalls Course Setting) 54:00 [2] 4.5 km (12:00 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
Spent a little while running various ideas for leg options for the sprints. Actually running legs was at a pretty good pace, but also spent a lot of time standing around looking at the map wondering how I could make a given leg more interesting so that provides for a slow overall pace.
Other (Happy Feet) 40:00 [2]
shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI
Running Club - spent some time doing some running games on the field, then because it was pretty warm, headed into the woods for a brisk hike.
