Training Log Archive: Spike

I jogged around on the roads at Wyandotte. I took it quite easy. The temp was nice (70) and there was even a bit of light rain. Beats Texas.

A bit of easy biking seemed like the responsible thing to do.

I checked controls for the afternoon's relay (which I wouldn't run because I had to fly home). I found one marker with no punch and one very bogus control location. By the end I was worn out.

Another 4-point course. This was my last race of TJOC and I was annoyed at how I'd run up till then. That probably helped me. I concentrated and worried about the race of a good 20-30 minutes before the start. I had a decent race and managed to win.

Raced teh 4-point course. I ran like I had a bag over my head. I moved well, but didn't pay much attention to the map. A group of us (including Andrew and Michael) ran into the wrong reentrant and searched for quite a while. We finished aroub 4 minutes back of Robbie. Ouch.

I jogged around the island for the score O'. I took it pretty easy. I skipped one point which was supposedly in a horrible area (lots of thorns and stuff).

We did a countour, rock and water only course (not vegetation or man made features). It was fun. But, I ran in to some hideous vegetation. About 1/3rd of the way through the course I was dead. It was hot.

We did something close to a beaver O'. I ran with Robbie, Andrew and Michael. It was fun. They all managed to get around the course without any real trouble.

While the TJOCers did some sort of compass and pace exercise (seems like a waste of time to me), I ran the first two course for "Tatiana's Marathon." I started out fine, but struggled the last 1/3rd of the time. It was hot.

Hanging controls at TJOC. I set out at about 3:30. It is hot in Texas at 3:30. After about 45-60 minutes of mostly running, I walked the last half hour or so.
