Running 38:05 [2] 6.39 km (5:58 / km) +72m 5:39 / km
ahr:132 max:146 shoes: R-NB 891's
AM Run, from Ori's Gymnastics. Found a bit of the Chester Valley trail, from Mill Ln to 401 on the run - no map, but knew it was somewhere north of mainline. Looks like that section is officially closed, but the rail is gone the the footing is semi-okay (rocks from the train tracks, plus several years of forest leaf litter...) Not sure why it's 'closed' although the neighbor privacy, and safety of road crossings could be concerns, esp. these days...
Running warm up/down 33:33 [2] 5.16 km (6:30 / km) +103m 5:55 / km
ahr:135 max:154 shoes: R-NB 891's
Before/after tempo run
Running 34:45 [3] 5.0 mi (6:57 / mi) +89m 6:35 / mi
ahr:167 max:173 shoes: R-NB 891's
Valley Forge 5 mile loop. All on grass, mostly inside the paved trail within 6 feet, although crossed over the pavement a few times for various reasons.
Both corner's the Simkiss asked if I cut (I didn't) a few years ago have now been cut by the park service - they've paved the portions that cut the corner. They've also added a road segment SE of Mt. Joy, connecting E Inner Line Drive to S Outer line drive at approximately the shortest sport. Not sure what the final plan is there.
Slower than my paved PR by 3 minutes.
I think at least in part I was dehydrated, as I was fighting a non-trivial migraine that evening.

Running 1:08:20 [2] 11.0 km (6:13 / km) +125m 5:53 / km
ahr:136 max:151 shoes: R-NB 891's
First more-or-less normal training run since the highlander. A few things, notably the L-hamstring, were less than perfect, but not really dragging, or in pain.

Running 46:35 [2] 7.2 km (6:28 / km) +132m 5:56 / km
ahr:133 max:144 shoes: R-NB 891's
Enthusiastically embarked on a run after reading PG's HH story and adding my own splits; happy my legs weren't hurting bad any more. And then I ran out of gas after 25 minutes. I need to stuff myself at breakfast better, instead of snacking (dry cereal and two slices of toast this AM, 3 hr. before the run).

Running 47:13 8.17 km (5:47 / km) +73m 5:32 / km
ahr:130 max:150 shoes: R-NB 891's
Was thinking I might run 90 minutes, first part with Angelica. But after the first mile taking shortcuts struggling to keep up with Angelica my more modest goal was simply to keep up with Angelica the rest of the way.
Primary issue was L-Quad pain (recalling the finish chute of the Highlander), and, later in the day esp., the R-Calf. So far so good - only muscle pain - but not back to normal training yet...

Oriana on her bike kept me moving on a light run the day after the highlander. By Mon. evening, the L-quad was getting notably worse, and various other leg pains were up too - mostly hamstring/quad/calf things.

Event: Hudson Highlander
Orienteering race 3:56:07 28.49 km (8:17 / km) +621m 7:28 / km
shoes: O-VJ Integrator Spikes
Highlander 2008. Definitely the most fun Highlander I've done in terms of company. I don't think there was a single control I punched where there was no one in sight, and only a few legs/routes was I actually alone - vs. last year where I saw no one for like an hour+.
Steve & Erin Olafsen (Neilsen) plus 'yellow guy' were in a pack with me for most of the last 2/3 of the course - with some extras early and occasional splitting up. Me & yellow guy pulled ahead about 3 controls from the end, but then I cramped in some dense mt. laurel, and he got away. By the time I was moving again, Ross went by, and apparently somewhere near there we passed Jon T. who had a broken compass at that point. Ross got away quickly, as I was still going slow (afraid to cramp again) and at 2 controls to go I saw Steve behind me. At the go control, I looked back again, and saw Erin leading Steve into it, about 40m back. The 500m chute was tough, but fortunately the L-Quad pain didn't turn into a cramp.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

About the minimum needed to physically stay warm in the 30 minute wait from the dropoff, to the start, in 55-degrees+rain.
