Pushed moderately hard on the middle 1200, rest were easy hard (?). Target paces seem too easy; will have to do a test 5k to recheck VOmax.
Warm and humid day, but breeze made it feel much better than yesterday and Friday. After the first laps it felt like running in a steam bath, in a comfy sort of way.

Friday Aug 27, 2004 #

Road Running (Chester via Church St) 1:04:00 [2] 6.2 mi (10:19 / mi)

Slow, easy rest day run. Warm and very humid still made it feel like a lot of work. If it were 25 degrees hotter, I'd think I were back in Baltimore.

Adventure Race (New England AR #2) 9:09:00 [4] 40.0 mi (13:43 / mi)

Sunday River, ME. Racing Ahead #2 in the New England Series with Tracey and Steve Olafsen. 12 mile canoe paddle, 22 mtn bike, 8 orienteering.
Some tricky nav sections in the mtn bike; one we picked up 4 places and the next we dropped a couple due to unmarked/nonexistant logging roads on topo map. Major (2 mile) bushwack up Bald Mtn got lots of teams lost. We did ok, but lost time compared to a local crew who knew about an unmarked trail up the backside.
Wore running shorts and short sox; the bushwack was through recent second growth of briars and brush. Legs shredded about as bad as I've ever gotten them.
Ended up 4th coed, 5th overall of about 40 teams.
Great job by team and support crew Erin, Kristoffer and Drew.

Had to pause in the middle for a brief downpour; talked to a Secret Service guy about local places to run while we waited for the rain to let up.

Off Trail Running (Local terrain) 55:00 [2] 4.0 mi (13:45 / mi)

Down and back Rte 11 to Grn Mtn Tpke. Did five 1 min strides on way back.

Road Running (Tempo workout) 23:25 [4] 2.9 mi (8:04 / mi)

Out and back 3 miles on Green Mtn Turnpike (dirt road). Tried to run at tempo pace (7:43) and was too slow because I didn't know where the mile marks were. Turned out course was a little bit short, so will have to adjust next time.
Splits: 7:58, 7:12 (short), 8:25 (surprised this was slow, may be slightly uphill)

O - competition (Day 3 Red) 1:35:25 [4] 9.46 km (10:05 / km)

Pelican Bay. Long legs leading into some technical areas with plenty of places to be distracted. Got led astray several times when I was not vigilant enough upon approaching the control circle. Used attack points to good effect on some controls, but suffered on others because I didn't. Maybe lost 2 min on each of six controls on final approach.`

Last day at Wyoming 1000 days. Really enjoyed it and would have had fun staying for the full event. However, had to return to duties at home. Great chance for altitude training and continuous workouts. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks all.

Tuesday Aug 3, 2004 #

O - competition (Day 2 Red) 47:24 [5] 4.85 km (9:46 / km)

Forrest Meadows. Two legs with mistakes; rest were on track or given away by other racers. Not into map on #2 and pulled up too soon. Swung too low on #6 and looked in wrong area. Each was good for 3 min.

Monday Aug 2, 2004 #

O - competition (Superbum Sprint) 27:53 [5] 2.72 km (10:15 / km)

Twin Boulders. Quicker, shorter legs than used to. Didn't have time to settle into a rhythm; wasted time in circle by not knowing what to visualize.

Sunday Aug 1, 2004 #

O - competition (Day 1 Red) 1:23:05 [4] 7.26 km (11:27 / km)

Middle Crow Toe. Mostly good navigation, but two mistakes near end were costly (8 min total). Off L just a bit going in to #11 and turned L at the main reentrant to make it a serious error. Should have been a bit R coming in and then would have known where I was. Other mistake was following the road to #13. Didn't see the main dirt road bear R and kept on the lessor road to the woods. Then attacked on a bearing, but was off L 100m. Took 5 min to get it all sorted out.
