Training Log Archive: kensr

1 Off to 1 up thru jumbled boulder/cliff area, kind of psyched out, but ok
2 Then across into 200m of slash, stopped and looked too soon, wasted 6 min before relocating and heading up to control
4 Picked up wrong trail out of 3 and hesitated because the terrain didn't match, finally just headed on the right bearing until things lined up and attacked from ponds 200m before control
5 Nice straight-line run along the hillside, actually fast terrain; nailed the control, my best leg
6 Went down the road a little and came in past the feature about 50m and looped back, 4 min
7 Dead-on bearing, but stopped 30m short and searched for 4 min before I found it where I had been headed
8 Running with Ernst
9 L and past the control, 1 min
ok on final loop

Legs feeling faster and more comfortable running rough terrain. But needs work.

Long Green Y - Splits

Careful on the technically tough Moreau plateau. Ran at moderate speed over the terrain which is a nice mix of open woods and soft marshes.

Fast enough today to make a few mistakes, which I guess is progress:

L going up to 3, got above and had to look around; 1 min lost.
Overshot 5 to L, caught myself at the top of the drop off and turned around to get it, 1 min lost.
Well off R on short leg to 8 as glasses fogged up and ran to the hilltop beyond the wrong marsh, 2 min gone.
Biggy on 12 where I slid by the mounds maybe 5 m to the L and ended up in SearchMode. When I found them it seemed more like a depression than two knolls, 5 min lost.

Middle Green Y - Splits

Event: 2013 U.S. Individual Championships/Team Trials
 

Around the Scout camp. Like all scout camps, trails everywhere and lean-to groupings. Easy navigation. Still running slow, need to ratchet it up to second and third gear.

Sprint Green - Splits

Cummings and then up the hill on 11. Staying loose.

Weathersfield Trail to summit. Trail in good shape; very runnable until the two dozen switchbacks and scrambling going up to the summit ridge. Beautiful clear day.
