Event: US Team training weekend
8 AM
Running 42:05 2.37 mi (17:45 / mi)
I woke up early, so was ready enough early to go up with Adrian and set some of the streamers. Pretty morning!
Orienteering 53:48 [1] 2.51 mi (21:26 / mi)
8c
Setting the 8 streamers to the far north-west. Not entirely problem-free. I found the hill at 49 a bit tricky to ID, as with the boulder at 38, which I initially ran past. Then scamper back to be not-terribly late for the run-off of the two brown courses.
Orienteering 23:31 [3] 1.59 mi (14:47 / mi)
Brown X-
I started last, as I was still pulling myself together, attempting to chase down Ethan and Andrew. But I wasn't confident to 1, and then just totally lost it to 2.

Orienteering 23:42 [3] 1.9 mi (12:28 / mi)
Brown Y-
Better. I started in the middle of the group this time, so had some to chase and the Childs boys chasing me down. I just missed seeing the control at 2, and then tried to exit 4 as if I were exiting 5, but other than these two little blips, it went well and I had fun racing head-to-head, mostly with Adrian for a few controls in a row.

Down + back to the campsite with Will and Nathan.
3 PM
Hiking 21:48 [2] 0.75 mi (29:04 / mi)
Hike back up after a good hangout time at the very busy Moreau beach. Well, actually, we stayed in the shade int he parking lot, although we did a tour-de-beach once - one girl making awesome sand sculptures (one of an Egyptian pyramid, another one, in construction of an old-school car, I think).
Orienteering 1:02:18 [2] 4.16 mi (14:59 / mi)
Then, partner memory-o with Ian. This went maybe the best memory-o has ever gone for me, only one I really had to look at map and figure out what happened? A good challenge to come up with a way to simplify on Moreau - I used a lot of bearings, which I don't often do in memory-o.

Alrighty, time to head East! Catching the 3am train from Toledo to Moreau. Well, Albany, I suppose... last leg aided by other giggle. Very psyched for the training weekend!
8 PM
Running 12:09 [2]
Train late, accidentally abandoned maps, but thank to the boyfriend crew of Ed + Ian, the map issue got worked out and we checked into the campsite (long line!) at something like 8pm. We quickly set up tents (one was slightly confusing!) and then ran over to the plateau via the isthmus.
Hiking 21:47 [2] 0.48 mi (45:25 / mi)
Hike on up. Lost the trail once, took a wrong turn once.
Orienteering 19:13 [1] 0.59 mi (32:33 / mi)
4c
And, given it was already totally dark, we scaled back our night-o plans. Alex, Will and I divided up the 7 nearest controls, went to go set them. I promptly ran into an uncrossable marsh, but thought it was where the crossable stream was on the map, so decided I had to cross it there or go way around. So plunged in the darkness into the murky mucky water. A bit tricky to set controls in the dark, but did mine and then decided I would just start from there and find the others, which went ok, and could go a bit more confidently knowing I was looking for a nice little reflecty guy.
Orienteering 15:07 [2] 0.65 mi (23:15 / mi)

Running 20:33 [1] 1.39 mi (14:47 / mi)

Wow, heard I think my first tornado siren at about 12.15... they're now tracking spinning stuff just a bit south of Toledo, 45 min til all clear...

Running 4:26 [1] 0.4 mi (11:05 / mi) +13m 10:04 / mi
And Lesley (grad student) joined me for Zumba! So a jog over from the dept with her. This morning we had an awesome little talk from a guy who just finished undergrad at U of Arizona - looking in detail at exoplanet transit light curves, you can try to tell things about magnetic fields (ok, only in really particular situations) and exoplanet atmospheres...
Aerobics 49:53 [1]
Bunches more folks for this one, 7 of us by the end? More of the songs were ones I already knew, so I was less bewildered. Although, the hip swirl part of Hips Don't Lie still stymied me...
Running 29:44 2.6 mi (11:26 / mi) +1m 11:25 / mi
And I want my legs to remember they might have to go uphill at some point, so easyish stuff on ze treadmill at various inclines. Forgot to print a map, so tried to read a paper, but that was harder after I started sweating. So the news. Lots of Snowden.
Running 3:47 [1] 0.43 mi (8:53 / mi) +14m 8:03 / mi

Running 10:02 [1] 1.13 mi (8:53 / mi) +12m 8:36 / mi
Ug, a day of much dental work. Mouth still kinda numb from novocaine, but at least I don't think I was drooling...
Drills 8:30 [2] 0.53 mi (15:55 / mi)
Running 41:16 5.18 mi (7:58 / mi) +19m 7:53 / mi
Track workout in the hot, really should have motivated this morning, but Kevin canceled due to soccer soreness, so procrastinated.... Did 4 strides in the shade beforehand following Erin's recommendation. Short stuff, 4 x (400, 300, 200). 200m roll-on within sets, 400m between sets. Felt pretty good, but the last few were tough.

Running 6:00 [1]
Aerobics 47:52 [1]
Zumba times! Just me and Joanna today, but we rocked it anyways! Well, she rocked it, but did so many new songs, I really couldn't keep up. Especially to Shakira's Hips Don't Lie, which I love as a song (c'mon, you have to!), and the choreography is pretty cool for, but my hips were just not cooperative, frustrating!!
Running 6:07 [1] 0.57 mi (10:44 / mi) +4m 10:30 / mi
5 PM
Cycling 8:57 [1] 2.52 mi (3:33 / mi) +5m 3:32 / mi
Running 19:00 [2] 2.4 mi (7:55 / mi)
As soon as I rolled up, there were Rachel and Zach. And Rachel was going to go for a pre-run run, so I joined her. Nice to chat. They're heading on a cruise from Vancouver to Anchorage next week, sounds cool as cruises go...
Running 30:32 4.43 mi (6:54 / mi) +33m 6:44 / mi
And I joined Jeff's sub-19 minute group for Metropark Monday. Which apparently is a tempo run designed for the PR 5k program (2 months of Monday + Thursday training to try to get people to run a new PR at the end of July). Today was just 3 x 5 min at temp with 1 min breaks. So did that, in the pouring, pouring rain. Good to be forced to do dynamic stretching before and static stretching after, I'm less flexible than I remember being...
Cycling 10:58 [1] 2.84 mi (3:52 / mi) +1m 3:51 / mi
Caught up to Aaron, one of the guys in the running group on the bike path on the way home, so slowed down to chat. He's a sophmore at UToledo, majoring in biology and working DNA sequencing some fish that is only found in California for the summer?

Running 45:12 5.75 mi (7:52 / mi) +63m 7:36 / mi
Out for an afternoon cruise around Wildwood after printing out and making some courses on the old Katinkulta map (Sprint quali for WOC). I wanted to do a long run that wasn't just easy-peasy, so pushed the pace a bit. Did 10 min just running, 5 min map glancing/planning + running, hoping to keep the just running pace for those sets of 5 min, hopefully did!
Drills 8:19 0.43 mi (19:20 / mi)
Some normal running drills, to break up the run!
Running 49:04 6.33 mi (7:45 / mi) +61m 7:32 / mi
And the second set. Was exploring a little trail at one point and then back tracked because of poison ivy, blah. Finally went food shopping after and created super-quinoa greek salad. Mmmm.
