Training Log Archive: TheInvisibleLog

Concerned to notice that six of the past seven days have orienteering activity logged-
Thursday test running courses.
Friday checking terrain at Beechworth
Saturday local event
Sunday killing catcus on Kooyoora
Monday non orienteering day
Tuesday Mapping
Wednesday rerun course 1 from saturday.
Memo to self. Get out more. Spent part of last night looking at walk itineraries in the Pirin, Rhodope, Carpathian and Tatra Mountains. I play music that started in these places, so probably should see them.

C • Peaks of the Balkans 2

Ran course 1 from saturday's event. It was an excellent course... much better than course 2. I think shorter course runners generally get short changed in long events.
Some lessons-
1. Lasted the distance though feet were hurting in the last 20 minutes.
2. The left route choice on the first long leg wasn't worth it. I think I lost 20 seconds compared with the same leg stroight on Saturday.
3. The right hand route choice on the last long leg was worthwhile. The climb was all concentrated early in the leg and was obvious enough to push people towards the left leg.
4. Improving slowly. I would be happy with another five minutes improvement on today's run.
