Training Log Archive: Spike

Mary and I went for a walk as part of our trail mapping project. Nice. Warm weather and fun to explore a new area.

After our walk, I went out to Clinton overlook and did about 1.5 hours of fieldchecking. I spent most of the time in an especially crappy section of the area - mostly just calling it all fight and hoping to never venture into it again.

Jogging on trails at Clinton SP. Most of the time I was going back and forth along the straight hillside just south of the campground. Not very nice for orienteering, but plenty of trails along that hillside.

Really warm weather - must have been lower 60s (and plenty of sun).

Running and mapping at Clinton overlook. Most of the time I was just looking at runnability in the forest, and mostly I just mapped it as slow run. I discovered some more trail re-routing. They must have done the work very recently - the trail wasn't there during the trail race Sunday morning.

Looks a bit interesting.

Work commute.

Jogging around a bit to warm up and back to the house.

Night orienteering to test a part of Fritz's current draft course on West Campus.

Work commute. Legs felt a bit tired.

Some time on the land boat.

Trail Hawks race at Clinton. The course began at the Corps parking lot at the overlook, went over Sanders Mound, the followed the upper trail to Lake Henry, returned on the lower trail, then back over Sanders Mound and finish at the parking area. This was a pretty tough course.

I decided to warm up on the course. I started quite easy and picked up the pace as I went. It was an honest effort.

My legs are now sore and tired. Time for some recovery.

Wow, just noticed that I did 10 hours last week. A fair amount was work commuting on the bike - easy stuff. But, still 10 hours is more than I've done in quite a while.

C • Bike commuting = free training 11
