Training Log Archive: possum

Putting out controls for tomorrow's Score-O at Kill Creek. Gave it a 3 because of having to carry the golf bag around on snow and ice-covered trails.

Lots of intensity--jumping and weights--mega step-ups

Broken Spoke--beat the Pacer by over 10 minutes. Max power 700 avg power 240

First workout of the new year. Lots of jumps, balance, weights

Looking back at 2012--I have made lots of progress.

Injuries:
Started PT in March for a torn tendon in my left bicep.
Hurt heel on left foot (plantar fasciitis?) feeling ok now
Started seeing a personal trainer in late July. Have made a lot of progress since then.

Orienteering:
US Champs March 9-11 in North Carolina. Finished, but not that great.
Flying Pig March31, Apr 1 & 2. Pretty good until last day, when I didn't finish
Navigator Cup Apr 14-15. OT first day, second day ok
Laramie Aug 25-Sept 2. Training was good to acclimate to the altitude. First day of A-Meet good, second day DNF
Cincinnati Nov 30 Finished second in the first Nite-O I completed. My headlamp conked out on the next to last control, but I finished anyway.
Dec. 1--Did yellow on Relay. First running since hurting my heel, and it went well.
Dec. 2--Ultra Long Terrible rain, lots of mud, but I made it anyway and got third. Cincinnati was my best in quite a while.

Looking to 2013

Continue with trainer. Build endurance, agility, balance, power
Hope to get weight down to 120.
More orienteering practice is needed.

Worked out with my trainer. Lots of agility and balance, as usual. Always some new drills also. Felt good
