6 PM

Road running warm up/down 28:00 [1] 4.0 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: BA10

800m w/u, 800m c/d, and 6 x 400 recovery between 400 intervals.

Road running intervals 10:00 [3] 2.4 km (4:10 / km)
ahr:156 max:178 shoes: BA10

6 x 400 at the WPI track, done at increasing speed. High winds were blowing from the east, maybe 15mph. I didn't notice when the wind was behind me (homestretch), but it was in my face on the backstretch. Oddly enough, the 200 into the wind, run first, was faster than the 200 with the wind, run second. Only in one interval was I successful at evenly splitting the two 200s.

The interval times were 1:49, 1:46, 1:44, 1:43, 1:40, and 1:36. HR ranges from 142 for the first to 159 for the last.

Legs felt at about 80%.

Road running 57:38 [1] 6.4 mi (9:00 / mi)
ahr:152 max:177 shoes: BA9

Out and back from the karate studio. Legs still less than 100%, but much more functional than after last week's 12M.

Sunday May 8, 2011 #

Road running long 1:36:27 [1] 10.0 mi (9:39 / mi)
ahr:145 shoes: BA10

The Crusher, clockwise, from Tatnuck Square, w/ R. and J. I was dragging a bit on the hills for the first couple of miles (no warmup), but after a Gu I felt a bit better, quite peppy toward the end, which is downhill slightly, after you reenter Worcester, but we were running sub-8's acc to R's Garmin and they felt fine.

Cycling 30:00 [1] 7.0 mi (4:17 / mi)
ahr:103 max:122

Recumbent spin while solving tomorrow's Sudokus of the day.

6 PM

Orienteering race 35:07 [4] 3.1 km (11:20 / km)
ahr:165 shoes: Jalas2

Cat Rock Park-O. HRM stopped tracking on the 3rd leg, so average is an estimate by how it felt. Messed up the 3rd leg, didn't have a good plan. Came into the stream/swamp control from the wrong side of the water, requiring me to cross it. Then, coming out of the open into the woods, I was trying to disappear into the woods before someone behind me could see my location and learn from me. The down side was that the control was up a steep knoll whose best approach was NOT from where I had entered the woods.

Orienteering 15:00 [1] 1.0 km (15:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas2

Control pickup, 2,3,4. I was learning to use my first Thumb Compass. Lo, and behold, when I was not racing, and after all the buffalo tracks were in the leaves, and I recognized the terrain a bit, the leg from 2 to 3 went much better.
