Note

Somewhat lame race report from yesterday is here. Not much commentary, but does have my routes.
7 AM

Terrain (Grass) 1:00:00 [2] *
shoes: NB481

Four School Loop. Didn't go barefoot because it was right at freezing. Should have; the ground was thawed. Legs are every bit as trashed as I thought they would be.

Event: SLOC - Babler SP
 
10 AM

Terrain (Gravel) 15:00 [2] *
shoes: Oroc 280

Short warmup on the gravel road.

Orienteering race (Woods) 1:21:00 [5] *** 7.9 km (10:15 / km) +480m 7:52 / km
11c shoes: Oroc 280

SLOC Red at Babler (1:15). Super physical course made even more so by the fact that I messed up the first few controls and decided to take really safe routes the rest of the way. There are plenty of those at Babler so, with nav reduced to Orange-level difficulty, it was pretty much Pere Marquette level effort for the last hour. Good enough for the win, so I have to list it as a "Race". Legs will be trashed for several days, which is probably a good thing.

Duck in the woods. Powerline is down to just a few sections of goop.

In to work via bus. G has returned to the atmosphere after a month in low-earth orbit.

Running (Road) 1:05:00 [3]
shoes: J33 2

Home from work at M-pace (I guess; no idea what M-pace means for me these days).

Gym (Weights) 20:00 [5]

2 sets, heavy, upper only.

Running (Track) 30:00 [2]
shoes: Old Excite 4

Something of a missed opportunity. It was quite nice out, but a bit chilly for just shorts and a t-shirt, so I ran on the indoor track.

Terrain (Grass) 1:05:00 [2] **
shoes: Boca AT

Cuatro Electrico. Ran it clockwise because I figured that would put the sloppiest sections last. It did and they were very sloppy.

If you want to call 8 hours of work, 3 hours of classes, 2 hours of study "rest".

Easy jog round the hood.

8 PM

Gym (Weights) 20:00 [5]

First day of classes. Stopped by for two sets, heavy, upper only afterwards. Glad I didn't have to reduce the weight after the short layoff.

2 PM

Running (Road) 1:05:00 [2]
shoes: Excite 3

In a creative rush, I chose to do the exact same loop as yesterday. Extra five minutes was a quick detour to get carrots from the store.

Running (Road) 1:00:00 [2]
shoes: Excite 3

Page/Old Farm. Figured the powerline was a non-starter with all the rain.

Saturday Jan 14, 2017 #

3 PM

Terrain (Grass) 45:00 [2] **
shoes: Oroc 280

Two School Loop. Wore the Orocs as a defense against the odd patch of ice on what little pavement I'd hit. Didn't need them; everything has thawed (with the result that the powerline was very slow going).

Friday Jan 13, 2017 #

9 AM

Terrain (Grass) 30:00 [2] *
(rest day) shoes: NB481

Easy jog on the powerline. Took the day off from work since I was way over on hours, anyway. Ice was just starting.

Note
(rest day)

Listed Saturday as "5" because that's the way I note that a workout requires extended recover. While it's true that I need a few days off, it feels like I'll bounce back pretty quick from this. Of course, since I'm also in the final five weeks before the Qualifying Exam, I don't expect to get much running in anytime soon.

Event: Little Woods Last Man/Woman Standing
 
8 AM

Terrain (Trail) 12:00:00 [5] 50.0 mi (14:24 / mi)
shoes: NB481

Little Woods Ultra. Super frosty at start; ran 12 laps (each lap starts on the hour and is a bit over 4 miles) at which point my back started sending warning signs that it had had enough of keeping me upright on an icy trail. Travis Redden was the only other runner still going, so I got second. Ran most of the first 8 laps with Bill. Pacing was good; run-walk combo had me in between 50 and 55 minutes on each lap. Definitely a fun day and, while I would have liked to have gone further (legs were still fine and I was in no danger of missing the time cutoff), I didn't really want to turn it into an epic test of will with someone as determined as Travis.

Full report to follow.

Note
(rest day)

Yes, another day off! At least I my brand new pair of shoes all day, so now they've got maybe a mile of breaking in before tomorrw. Definitely taking this one seriously.

Another big day at work then had to take Yaya to Jazz practice. No biggie, I'll get some miles in Saturday.

Wednesday Jan 4, 2017 #

Running (Road) 25:00 [2]
(rest day) shoes: Excite 3

Easy jog round the hood. Long day at work, which was probably a good thing as it prevented me from doing something nutty like running 15 miles home. Legs feel much better than yesterday.

Tuesday Jan 3, 2017 #

Note
(rest day)

Feeling a bit more beat up than I'd like going into an ultra. Not sure if Saturday was really that tough or if I'm still carrying baggage from my late fall schedule. Either way, on off day is in order.

9 AM

Terrain (Trail) 2:30:00 [2] ***
shoes: Oroc 280

FFRC NYD plus an extra half hour beforehand to make sure it was a legit long run. Nobody else wanted to do the full loop, so I ran a lot of it on my own. Trail was getting pretty greasy by the end with the sun thawing everything. Glad I went with the Orocs; grip wasn't a problem.
