Training Log Archive: Spike

I ran the red course. I took it just a bit easy and worked on taking safe routes and having a clean race. I suceeded, except for one control where something seemed to be screwy with the map. I was pretty satisfied with my race, though Robbie was something like 8 minutes ahead of me.

The final TJOC session...the "Battle O'" I was the team's driver, but also spent a good 20-30 minutes running around chasing down points. I don't know how the team did, but I we apparently didn't win.

Two sprint courses (each taking about 13 minutes). Lans Taylor set the courses which looped out and had a spectator control. The kids had a good race - with Robbie winning overall.

I shadowed Nat Vasquez on the "mystery O" -- we took it easy and stopped to talk as we went.

"Tatyana's marathon" course at TJOC. The first part was rough -- thick rocky terrain with markers hung low in parts of the map I wouldn't put a control. I didn't finish the second part after turning an ankle and deciding I wasn't having much fun.

I ran a TJOC 6-point course that was used earlier in the week. The course and terrain were pretty decent. I kept a steady but not so hard pace. Fun.

I ran the "corridor" course. The plan was to shadow some of the kids. But, none of them wanted a shadow. So I just ran the course on my own.

TJOC relay (~17:10). I ran the last leg with Melissa S and Melissa H. We won. Robbie and Michael D finished a bit ahead of me (I never saw them) but mispunched. I bobbled the first control, then had a mostly clean run and passed a lot of people. Hot, but fun.

Jogged back to the cabins after the relay.

Packing for the Texas Junior O' Camp. I'm flying to Dallas tomorrow morning and should be running in the afternoon.

Second day. I had some mistakes, but kept them smaller than recent mistakes. I also orienteered quite well much of the time. I climbed 940 (24/56/20). ST=625.
