Event: Heartland Conference Center
run/walk warm up/down 15:00 [2]
orienteer race 58:16 *** 4.1 km (14:13 / km)
ahr:163 14c
Green course at Heartland . Nice to go to a meet 10 minutes away--meant I could sleep in this morning!
I was worried about my foot, but it felt fine in the warm up, so I figured I go do the green course today. No problems during the run; hurts a little bit now, sitting at home.
I made several silly, sloppy navigation mistakes today, especially at the end. Definitely not smooth leaving controls. I'm taking too much time to look at the map and decide. Accidentally shut off my 405 between 11 and 13.
Temps were upper 20s; felt fine in the woods, but pretty cold when I got back into open areas.

erg 27:00 [2]
Watching the Tour of California helped the time go quickly. My legs are tired now. My training has been pretty wimpy lately, and I'm starting to lose fitness. But I plan to keep it easy, until I see the podiatrist on March 3rd, and get a professional opinion.

ice skate 20:00 [2]
The novelty is starting to wear off. I need to learn some new tricks, becuase I start to get bored now after 15 minutes or so.

Note
The Plan:
Come home from work and row or lift weights or both.
The Reality:
Stressful day at work, and I was very sleepy due to running, travel and time change.
The Action:
Enjoy a glass of wine then dinner with Mike (he made gourmet ginger/mushroom/chicken soup). Followed by AP update and early-to-bed.

Lots of (scary) conversations this weekend with people who had suffered with PF (for a year or more! Nooooo!) But also some excellent advice, especially from Zan. She showed me some exercises that helped her. I'll try to do them every day.

I woke up Sunday morning in a comfy bed at Tim and Amanda's house (thanks for the hospitality!) and took an assessment of my body.
Moved the legs and the quads said: WTF? I'm SORE!
Stepped out of bed and the heel (PF) said "um, no thanks"
So I knew I was not going to run today.
Watched others run at Cleveland Dam. Most spectacular view I've ever had at a spectator control (alpine lake with snow capped mountains in the background, watching sprinters in the woods and running across the dam). Fantastic.
Overall, it was a great weekend, and I highly recommended it to all.
Things I learned:
1. tunnels are represented by dotted lines, and not the overpass light gray
2. In a sprint, especially, I should stick to my original route choice.
3. I'm slow enough that it is smarter to take the easy, safe, round-about route (and spike the control) rather than try to get cute and bob and weave between buildings.
4. Slow down to read the map as necessary; I usually lose less than time than I think, and it's way better than making a mistake
5. The Vancouver club has done a great job of making lemonade out of lemons. Concentrating on sprints is a brilliant idea.
6. Vancouver is a beautiful city.
7. It was great to meet all the young fast sprinters.
8. Louise is a very good cook and great organizer.
9. This was tons of fun and I should do it again soon.
