Running - Road / Track warm up/down (road) 8:00 [2] 1.03 mi (7:45 / mi) +10m 7:31 / mi
ahr:135 max:153 slept:6.8 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 - 2
A short warm-up before the U.S. Long Distance Champs at Middlesex Fells. I felt a bit tired, but not as fatigued as I had expected I would feel after two days of racing.
Orienteering race (long distance) 1:19:21 *** 11.3 km (7:01 / km) +445m 5:52 / km
ahr:159 max:173 31c shoes: VJ Supra spike US 10.5 - 1
I had a very good run in the U.S. Long Distance Championships, making some but relatively few mistakes and running a smooth race with mostly well-planned and well-executed routes. I did not try to run fast, since I assumed that I would get tired, anyway, and the last two days showed me that making fewer time-loss errors was a higher priority than going faster. Even when I pushed, my heart rate stayed pretty low (often in the low 160s during stints of steady faster running.)
It was a lot of fun to get in a mental groove and orienteer well again after a couple days of struggling with the navigation.
