ahr:128 max:170 shoes: NB MT110 2012b
Most excellent smt. Feeling pretty decent for a change.
Trix was going mega-fauna crazy, had to pull her away from a man-deer that was having none of her crap.

Running - Trail race 39:46 9.44 km (4:13 / km) +96m 4:01 / km
ahr:168 max:177 shoes: NB MT110 2012b
Trek or Treat 10K.
I entered this before KneeGate, so decided to use this as a bit of a test to see how far back I am compared to last year.
Result - 1:30 slower. Hard to gauge that exactly, I think it just shows more of a lack of quality TNT work and other races. I was working as hard as I felt I could, but my HR trace was a good 10 bpm less than last year, guess I just need to learn how to run fast again.
Second place again, to a different guy than last year. Had him in my sights for the first half and felt like I was slowly reeling him in, but started to get a pretty wicked stitch after about 5k. So the other thing I need to get back on is the core work.

ahr:127 max:156 shoes: NB MT110 2012b
Quick little spin round the trails after setting up ARK. Bruce, K2, Groundhog High. Bit of terrain running on the northern slope of Canterbury to get back - crunchy orange leaves, open forest and cool temps. Perfection.

Textbook awesome cool and crisp Autumn trail run. In the Deeve with Super and Trix.
Topics of conversation included the aerodynamics of vomit when released from a speeding taxi, likely podium position at this years Raid and the feeding patterns of the bottom dwelling Turbot.
First experience with the K2 temperature inversion of the season.

Running - Trail warm up/down 25:00 [1] 4.5 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
More proof I wasn't working hard enough out there, was able to comfortably cruise back to the assembly area with ease.

Orienteering race 1:40:50 14.59 km (6:55 / km) +174m 6:31 / km
ahr:153 max:168 shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
Ontario Long Champs
I suspected I would be able to back up after two decent races the day before - significant losses on #2, 3, 9, 12, 14, 17, 18 & 22!
I just can't seem to push the running speed and keep concentration up on technical long races. I'm aware of the problem, but I just don't have the motivation to work on it - I'm content to hold out for the hilly, runnable, route-choice-y long races when they come around.
Still really enjoyed the race, haven't run on that part of the map at all before today. Really enjoyed the easier running section to the east of the Falls and running with Bender through 9-13.
Need to get new shoes before NAOC, the Orocs have clocked up 600km - best orienteering shoe I've ever owned, but was feeling the studs today through every footstep on rock!
