Trail Run warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.88 mi (7:59 / mi)
shoes: VJ Inegrators

Warm up and cool dwon. Wow, I'm tired.

Orienteering race 1:34:46 [5] *** 9.5 km (9:59 / km) +1247ft 8:19 / km
ahr:167 max:181 spiked:18/20c shoes: VJ Inegrators

Tired today. Made fewer mistakes and only one big one that cost me about 3 minutes, but I just couldn't get my legs to move at any speed. I'm definitely tired from yesterday.

I also began to notice a trend in my races. I'll run the beginning of the race very well, clean and fast, then in the middle of the race I begin to make mistakes, then near the end of the race my splits get slower and slower as I get more tired, and possibly can't get back into the flow of things after the mistakes in the middle part of the run. All three races this weekend followed that exact pattern!

I finished a slow-ish 7th on the day but maintained my 6th overall, and 4th for the Western States Champs! Definitely a good weekend of Orienteering.

Orienteering race 1:22:18 [5] *** 10.4 km (7:55 / km) +1148ft 6:46 / km
ahr:178 max:190 spiked:14/18c shoes: VJ Inegrators

A good run but with about 7 minutes of mistakes, most of them on one control. Another control I didn't look to the right, where the control was and turned left instead, missing it. The last two were not quite perfect spikes costing me 30-45 seconds each.

I finished well, 6th on the day! More details on my race/splits analysis when this day gets added to the Attackpoint races...

Trail Run warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.25 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: VJ Inegrators

Warm up and cool down for the afternoon sprint.

Orienteering race (Sprint) 18:28 [5] *** 2.9 km (6:22 / km) +295ft 5:31 / km
ahr:183 max:191 spiked:13/14c shoes: VJ Inegrators

The sprint! I like sprints and did well on this one. One small mistake going up a parallel re-entrant to the right, once it started looking wrong I checked my map and immediately saw what I'd done and went right to the control, only a 15 second mistake!

Finished 7th overall!

Miscellaneous Orienteering 28:49 [2] *** 4.4 km (6:33 / km) +115ft 6:18 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: Asics Trabuco (Rusty Coffee)

Training exercise in the Sonoran desert near Tuscon. The terrain was very subtle making this a great compass exercise. Ran nice and easy so as to not wear myself out for this weekend, but did keep moving all the time.

Not sure about the time on this one... I'll check it later.
