run/walk warm up/down 20:00 [1]
run race (100m) 21 [4] 0.1 km (3:30 / km)
Sunflower Games Track event 100m I participated in the 100 meters today, as part of my long range planning for next year.
It was fun to watch the track meet, and see all the other sprinters doing their funny warm up drills. I especially enjoyed watching all the kids race. I did not have to worry about my own race. There were only 5 women over age 18 who raced today, and I was the only one in F50.
I tried to take a split during the race, but I hit the stop button by mistake. Clock showed 20-something as I crossed the line, which seems about right. (Edit: official time was 21.61)

erg 10:00 [1]
sprint drills (stretch) 10:00 [1]
Took a vacation day so I could enjoy a 4 day weekend. Did a bit of exercise in the basement while watching the TDF. Then upstairs to follow the sprint relay on two computers (one for sound, the other hooked up to TV for Swedish video, which never worked). How exciting! What a bummer!

run/walk race (trail race) 36:14 [4] 5.0 km (7:15 / km) +172m 6:11 / km

Psycopathic 5K trail run. I have been trying to get my co-worker Becky to try orienteering, or at least trail running. I convinced her to enter this race by challenging her to see if she could beat me (she's very competitive, and in her 30's. How could she let a F50 beat her??) Convinced Mike to join us, too.
This is only my second ever trail race. I was determined not to over do it (I haven't run this far in two months). On one uphill, when I felt my hamstring getting tight, I just said "US champs" and backed off a bit (I'd rather be ready for the US O champs next month than go crazy in a local trail race).
For the record, my co-worker beat me by ~ 2 minutes. I was happy with my pace: flying downhill, slow and steady jog up hill (on the way out). Legs were tired on the way back, so lots more walking on the uphills. This is a hilly course! Also, seemed to be a bit shorter than 5K. I carried the O map so I knew what to expect along the way. Chatted with Bob Malkemas (sp?) during the course, as he passed me on the uphills and I passed him on the downhills.
Also for the record: they had chip timing, which was nice, and a photographer on the course. We receieved a mug and ball cap for our $25 entry fee. Post-race resfreshments were donouts and bagels. A few announcements of the over-all winners, and then it was over. No prizes. Attendance was ~80 folks, from age 8 to 80 (as far as I could tell). Results were posted on-site as paper print outs; no online results yet (but it's only been 4 hours).
HR monitor seems to only work only after I've generated a sweat, even though I always use Buh-Bump gel. Also tried adding some spit today, but that was no help. HR recorded as 170 late in the race; until then it was frozen at 75.
