Event: RMOC Orienteering Meet - Rainbow Falls
 

I helped with set-up and registration, and then was one of the last to start on Red. This is an awesome map (thank you, Plamen Djambazov...) -- it's probably my new favorite, since Observatory and Kelly Dahl are off-limits for a while due to pine-beetle tree thinning work.

I didn't make any big mistakes, but I was moving slowly.

Since the weather was supposed to be cold and rainy, I hadn't brought my hydration pack. I regretted that, and was thinking about water all the way to #10 -- and then I forgot to punch after I got some water. DOH! Luckily, the "scoring committee" (Doug, Sharon & John) agreed to reinstate me, since I could describe the cups and the Cañon City coach had seen me leaving that control... Note to self: always bring a hydration pack and screw the water stops!

Red - Splits

- 400m run, dynamic stretching, squats x 15, and (knee) push-ups x 10 to warm up.

- 2 x 5 push-press (35#) and 2 x 5 push-jerk (35#) to warm up.

- Floor press, working up to a heavy three-rep set -- 65# x 3, 55# x 3, 65# x 3, 70# x 1.

- Three rounds, for time: row 350 m / push-jerk x 10 / burpees x 15 / three-minute rest. I used 55#. 20:54.

- Dynamic stretching to warm up.

- Two rounds: kipping pull-ups x 5 / push-ups x 10 (knees) / squats x 15 / stair-climb x 1.

- For time -- five rounds: run 400m / 14# wall-balls x 30 / 20" box jumps x 30. I downgraded to a 6# ball and a 16" box, and I only did 20 reps of each instead of 30. 28:45.

- Walking & foam-roller stretching to cool down.

Ridgeline trail again, with Troy. I made progress on the second hill I had to walk up last time -- but I lost momentum and keeled over near the top. And there are still a few switchbacks where I have to put my foot down...
