First run on my "long and flat" training course at SMP. I set a 10K course that allows for some trail and road running. My plan is to run it once a month.

I made too many orienteering mistakes today, especailly for SMP. Lately, I have noticed how often I slow down, or actually stop, just meters before the control. I think I'm not in the right spot, so I slow down to figure it out. More often than not, I'm right where I should be. Need to develop the confidence to keep running right through to the control.

On a positive note, I was able to move 10k, for over two hours, without being totally wiped out at the end. In fact, I'm not really tired. Just sleepy (didn't sleep well last night) and nursing a huge bruise on my right ankle, courtesy of a rolling rock at control 16. Later, for good measure, the same spot got whacked by a big stick. How do those sticks know exactly where to cause the most pain ????

Long and Flat - Splits

Today was suppossed to be a day off, but I went out and doubled checked a few more PT controls.

I am afraid that the beautiful weather of the past few days (65 degrees) means we are likely to have horrible weather next weekend :) We'll see.

Finished checking the Possum Trot controls. Again, I only counted the time with HR > 120.

Feel strangely stiff and sore today, as if I had a long, hard run yesterday. Very weird.

Last minute check of the Mt O course. Beautiful warm day, but I felt lethargic, even before we ate. Couldn't push it today.
