Hike 1:30:00 [1]
shoes: 2011 Merrell Trail Glove
Walk to the Indian Council Rocks from LeGeyt Road with Rhonda, Zack, Sassy, and our German guests Heike and her mother Jutta. Heike was our exchange student in '98-'99, and here for a visit after not being in touch at all for so many years. We were a little unsure as to how this would work out, but they are quite pleasant.
We hadn't walked in from this direction in quite a few years, and we were amazed at the wide, well-maintained road the MDC has put in, at least in part for some logging they did, but not sure what else they may have in mind. This road used to be quite eroded, and a little dicey for even walking on and now it is very broad and firm with grassy margins and a number of rather inscrutable signs facing in all directions. Perhaps the most inscrutable was one on a tree facing so that you would see it from the forest, and see only the back of it from the new road. It said something to the effect that this was a public road for the purpose of a deer hunt, and that no unauthorized vehicles should go beyond that point. Not sure what an unauthorized vehicle might be doing in the forest coming up to that sign, and a little confused about the combination of the phrase public road with the admonition to stay out. There were some other rather perplexing ones.

Gym 40:00 [1]
piggybacking on part of a workout Rhonda and Lindsay were doing in the gym.
They were doing 5 rounds:
5 minutes on stationary bike (check)
5 pushups (not for me, shoulder tendinitis still a problem)
15 russian twists with medicne ball (check)
20 air squats (3 gentle ones for me)
Then there were a few other things to try - a few GHD situps and a few glute ham raises, a failed headstand. Mostly just keeping them company

Nice visit with Dennis and Louise before they left to head home.
The adductor strain is pretty painful today, and I expect to be shutting down any running or orienteering for the next month or so to try to get it to calm down. Not sure what I am going to be doing instead, as I'm pretty sure I can't row with it, so maybe I will have to make a trip to the swimming pool. Not my favorite activity.

NAOC Brown X Sprint on Dartmouth Campus. Felt quite good warming up, running well and without incident. Then at the very start, first step of the race I re-strained the R adductor, up high near the groin, and that was that, so shuffle-jogged around the course. Still fun to go, but it would have been really fun to run it. Three relatively small errors, left 7 the wrong way for about 5 steps before turning, went around the building to the left instead of to the right going to 10, and then, more or less inexplicably, went up on the road to the top of the stairs at 12 instead of below on the grass to the bottom, even though I was telling myself to go below. Strange. No other problems. I expect to lie low for quite a long time now to try to get this leg to improve.

ahr:121 max:214 spiked:6/9c slept:8.0 shoes: 2014 icebugs
NAOC Brown X long at Burnt Mountain. This place is too hard for me. I had some pretty good legs, but when I was lost I was really lost. Wandered quite a bit trying to find 1, coming back to the same place three times and then bailing out to the trail near the start and trying again. By that same spot again, but now knew to go a bit farther. Then fine going to 2, 3, 4, although very physical. At 2 I cut my scalp pretty deeply on a hemlock branch stub right at the control. Lots of blood, but kept wiping it off and after a while it seemed to dry up. Then 5 was a long leg, and in pretty good contact for about a third of the way, and then I no longer knew where I was and kept pushing N and E, but couldn't make sense of it. Eventually. Fond a pretty distinctive marsh and then fine from there. 6 and 7 were fine, then lost another 5 min looking for 8, well beyond where I had been searching. Well back in the pack, and pretty sore from the cut on the head. On a positive note, no particular back or leg issues today.

NAOC Middle distance at Storrs Pond, Dartmouth. Slow, but generally pretty accurate, until I lost focus on the last couple. Dropped about two minutes on 10 and 11, the difference between 4th and 7th in m65. Physically, slow, tender in the R adductor, so I had to keep the brakes on for the downhill finish. No worse for wear afterwards, so that is favorable.

ahr:162 max:200 shoes: 2012 MT101 Black
Corn maze classic. Very muddy, lots of fun. While mostly I knew where I was going, still made a lot of mistakes. I think I passed Janet 4 times in one stretch of 5 controls, as she was just executing quite a bit better than I. I particularly was losing focus by the time I got to 15, 16 and 17. The slippery footing didn't work out for me, though, as I strained my adductor (again!).
Rode up with George and Leslie, and back again with them and with Leif, dropping Leif off at Oslug's place on the pond in West Hartland. Very dark, but it sure looked like a great place.
My friend Tom Corcoran came and had a good time, so it seems that he may be coming more often.

ahr:133 max:181 shoes: 2012 MT101 Black
Corn maze sprint shuffle. Seemed like this was a questionable idea, but I was resolute about just walking and so perhaps did no further damage. Still the slipperiness of it was not the best thing for a guy with a bum leg, so this solidified my decision to skip the night-o, which was fine with G & L, too.
A great time. Peter really was wonderful, everything working perfectly, all in exceptionally good humor, despite the technical problems earlier in the day and the mad scramble he had to do to get ready in time.

Brown X Day 2. Another good day, with a couple of relatively minor mistakes and a few more hesitations than yesterday, but still good on the day, I think 6th overall on Brown X, and 5th for the two days. Nominal distance 3.6K.
Based on US eligibility, a silver medal in M65. Much unexpected.
Map and route
1. Downhill through lovely open woods with a stonewall on either side. The best running one ever gets. Crossed the little streams and the E-W trail, trail S, then wall to the corner, heading right for it, but the cliff and the flag were obscured by a tree, so didn't see it until I was more or less right on it. Spike.
2. Drifted R across the stream to the trail, followed it to the wall corner and then an easy attack.
3. Started along the line, but then corrected N so I could get down the cliffs. Jammed my ankle in the rocks. It was pretty sharp and I hopped a few steps, but soon forgot about it. A little lower than I thought I was, had to climb a bit to the control, but no problem.
4. Everything was looking good, maybe too good. Followed a reentrant down, apparently without checking the compass and ran into the two boulders before the trail, so corrected from there and got to the flag, but I couldn't find the SI box. I almost punched on the map before I saw it on a stand a bit away from the flag. So maybe a minute lost of getting off line, and another 10 seconds or so trying to find the box.
5. Left around the cliffs, then more or less straight through blueberry, but nice terrain, gently down. Right by the boulder halfway from the trail, saw the rocky cliffs to my right and right in.
6. Also pretty good. Red the boulder at the top of the green, the green patches, and saw the bag from about 40 M or so.
7. More or less straight on compass, picking off the rock just across the trail. Fooled a bit by rocks up higher and a bit obscured by the circle, but figured it out reasonably soon and right in.
8. Right of big cliffs, difficult footing getting down the hill to the trail. Left on trail a bit, then along the L side of the big hill, gradually climbing it and following the long spur down. Saw Karen Muffati leaving, maybe 45s or a minute ahead.
9. A little uncertain on this leg, not sure why. Drifted a little toward the wall, then corrected and headed right to it, but just slow.
10. Again, saw Karen well ahead, far enough away that I couldn't necessarily follow, but maybe I could go a bit faster heading in the general direction.
11. Pretty dumb. Saw that my control was at the end of the wall, and didn't even notice the parallel trail, instead climbing over the wall, picking though some rocks and stuff, instead of the nice fast trail. Probably 30 or 40 s lost.
F. My leg wasn't twinging, so I was able to finish a lot faster than yesterday.

Note
Physical inventory after the weekend: Generally surprisingly good. I felt better after running Saturday than I did Friday, and better Sunday than Saturday. Saturday I was running with a fair bit of caution because of the place I had strained my quad a few weeks back complaining to me. Sunday I was still aware of it, but less so, and less constrained by it.
I did crunch my ankle a bit between 2 and 3, hopped down on a rock with my forefoot and the heel came down too fast and too much. Pretty sharp, but nothing like the time I really hurt it doing that 20 years ago at Harold Parker. Felt ok the rest of the course, but now that I am home it is pretty tender. Ice should fix it.

US Champs day 1 Brown X at Ward Pound Ridge. Quite a fine day. I approached it with some trepidation because my R leg was quite sore. The navigation was pretty easy, which suits me, and the woods nice and open. I never went very fast, but never slowed down much either.
1. Crossed the two walls heading a bit S of West, saw the hill developing to my left and came in below the top, spike. 3:06.
2. Generally SSE, staying below the hill on the right. Across the trail, where the marsh on the map was greener than expected, so I stayed up a line and came around from the right. Spike. 5:22.
3. Same direction, staying in the depressions with better footing. Climbed in along the top, coming from below would have been faster, but no trouble. Spike. 2:56
4. E to the trail, past the big hill and left up the marshy bit( which was quite dry) to the trail N to the junction and then contouring. It was a bit further than I expected, but just kept going a bit. 5:59.
5. More or less along the line, zigging and zagging a bit past stone walls and cliffs, hitting the trail near the water stop and easy from there. Could see the hill from the trail so just along the side of it. 6:27.
6. Had thought I would go straighter but ended up heading more E than I realized, getting to the marshy area near the stream junction and then turning N. Pretty straight from there, past the cellar hole, then the trail and the boulders beyond it at the bend. Just under the hill with the dot knoll, straight in to the rather unremarkable boulder. 7:40.
7. Keeping track of walls, along the right side of the NS wall, thinking I was right on, and stopped when I didn't see it. Stopped to look at the map and realized I had to turn down a line, so maybe lost 30 seconds or so. 4:27.
8. Pretty much along the line, not dropping down as far as the wall, finding it easy to wind through the nasty looking brush. I saw Lex up ahead, who seemed to be moving pretty well, but then she stopped a bit and I caught up. Across the wall, past the small wall segment and I could see it ahead. Spike. 4:25.
9. I was determined to go fairly straight and not take the trail around to the left. Up the hill thinking I would follow some wall segments, then realized there was a small trail up there. Jon Campbell passed me just before the trail, but I was moving well and might have passed him back except I was getting messages from my R quad to keep it under control, so just held my pace. 3:48.
F. 29, resisting the urge to sprint.
Probably my best run from a navigation perspective since WMOC 2012 in Germany. Surprisingly good.

Woke up with my R quad angry in the spot that I strained it at the corn maze. Fine walking the dog, but a little tender and I rolled it quite a bit. Then I tried rowing and had to shut it down after about 500M, going slower and slower, but still catching. Worrisome with all the O coming up in the next two weeks.

A fair amount of walking today, but reluctant to try running on my sore adductor, strained on the run-in from the last control of the night-o Saturday. Thought about a bike ride, but circumstances didn't line up.
So a chance to get on the board for September with the Concept 2. Not bad, but I can feel the layoff, mostly in my forearms, but also in the butt a bit. I need to work my way up to the 5K pieces that chitown tosses off so easily.

Last round of kayaking at Stanclift for the season. Just paddling around slowly. Being a bit gingerly with my sore shoulder, which seems to be very gradually improving.

A new training protocol as of about a week ago. I had a pretty severe foot injury in 1980, and had not been able to walk barefoot with any degree of comfort since then. However, I had the offending toe worked on a year and a half ago, shortened and straightened, and I was beginning to wonder if I could walk barefoot with any degree of success. A very short outing a week ago, which was a bit uncomfortable, but ok, and then stretching it out a bit each day. This was the third outing of the day today, and the longest so far. Once around the dog loop. About half again as long as it takes at a brisk walk in shoes, but generally successful, and my feet are feeling great. Don't intend to log this generally, but I wanted to record more or less where this started. I assume that this activity will be on hiatus once snow arrives, and maybe much sooner than that.

1 dog loop, running a bit faster than I can sustain right now for 2, and not planning on two today because of CM tapering. So pretty successful.
