Event: RMOC - Orienteering Meet @ Round Mountain
 

A great Red course at Round Mountain.

- I totally overshot # 1. I saw the big rock cluster to my right as I passed it, but I thought I hadn't gone far enough (I guess I was overcompensating for the 1:15K map). I got a clue and turned around when I saw the road.

- # 2 through # 10 went OK. I was leap-frogging with another runner (Dan) from # 6 onwards, and that motivated me to run more. But I lost some time being very careful and tentative while looking for # 11.

- Wandered a bit trying to find # 12 (was trying to beat Dan to it, and lost contact with the map...).

- # 13 through Finish -- no problems.

Had a beer and snacks on the way home at Ute Pass Brewing Co. in Woodland Park, with kissy, winkepp, Swisstoph and Troy. A fun day overall.

Red - Splits

I've decided to start logging the time I spend on RMOC administrative work, similar to what barb is doing. I started writing it down a few weeks ago, and today I finally have time to actually enter it...

Round Mountain Meet:

- Emailed registration questions to a few runners; finalized pre-registration list & map counts.
- Created OE2003 import file w/ pre-assigned rental sticks.
- Created formatted list with entry fees, for registration volunteers.
- Created Excel source file for start-card labels (but my Word merge file is at home...).
- Emailed OE2003 import file and other details to Meet Director & Course Setter.
- Sent update email to RMOC list (highway closure due to fire & final CSOL results).

Round Mountain Meet (continued):

- Merged and printed labels; affixed to start cards.

- Jogged ~one mile from Community Park to the Aquarius trailhead to warm up.

- Hill workout: as fast as possible to the top of the hill, then recovery pace across the top and down the other side; repeat coming back. I completed 2.5 laps in my 35-minute allotment.

- Walked back to the park to cool down.

First day of Summer Training — and it was 93 degrees when we started at 6:15 pm. Ouch.

- Jogged one mile to warm up.

- Three sets of mile progression workout (each quarter mile is supposed to be slightly faster than the previous one, with a short break in between each mile). Lap times were:

1. 2:33, 2:23, 2:21, 2:11
2. 2:37, 2:29, 2:24, 2:16
3. 2:41, 2:32, 2:28, -:-- (I stopped because I was starting to feel a twinge in my hip (flexor?)... I haven't run at all during our two-week break and there's an orienteering race on Saturday -- so I didn't want to overdo it.)

- Jogged one lap and then walked two laps to cool down.

CSOL Meet #4 at Peaceful Valley:

- Created two separate OE2003 import files w/ pre-assigned rental sticks (regular meet and Score-O).
- Created formatted list with entry fees, for registration volunteers.
- Created source file for start-card labels; merged, printed & affixed labels; sorted start cards by school group.
- Emailed OE2003 files and details to Meet Director & Course Setter.
- Drove to Superior to meet Leif to hand off start cards & other registration materials.

I'm not sure whether to log this on Tuesday or Wednesday, since I started just before midnight and finished at around 2 am...

And it turned out that the meet was cancelled at the last minute; the entire scout ranch was evacuated due to the nearby Black Forest fire.
