10 AM
trail run 5:03 0.5 km (10:05 / km)

orienteering 1:17:59 6.01 km (12:58 / km)
ahr:146 max:172 14c
Becks-concocted Paugussett training.
No paths, no blue, no small cliffs unless they had tags, no walls, mostly just contours and veg.
Messed up the first control, probably wasted four or five minutes. In general I wasn't moving or thinking fast. Slept poorly due to the cursing match upstairs last night. The rest I did ok. Took two goes to put 6 in the 'right' spot, and 10 was hard work, map was a bit dodge over there.
Pretty and good.

Corridor-O
Slow, but no real issues. It's funny how there are big cliffs inside the corridor that you don't see because they are out of line of sight.

Contour and big cliff only control pick.
Slow, but no real issues except control 14, where I got confused, thought I was one layer lower down, plus took a while to find the tapes at times. One was missing. Oh, and control 4? (1 on the long), I put a bit of tape in the right spot too, since there was some lying around.
Good stuff. Still wrecked, if not a whole lot worse than when I started.

As I lay in bed this morning, a couple of newbies (still?) were out training on Blue Mtn., doing part of last Sunday's fun. Nice.

Apparently it's a little over 18km to work, maybe 80% trails. If I were Ross I would run home too. Lovely out.

10 AM
trail run 1:46:20 [0] 18.15 km (5:51 / km)
This was lovely. Legs woke up a bit after 40 minutes. Cruising.
Not much on roads, and only the 129 road section was busy. Glad I discovered this route. I stopped at Croton Dam for a lärabar and a drink. There is enough water spilling over to be interesting, but not so much as to hide the cool rock stuff in the channel. Pretty. Walked across the dam, so maybe 18.5km total.

climbing 30 [3]
Weak. one 5.9 and two fails. Then I decided lying on the floor and conserving energy would be a better way to spend half an hour. Pub was good afterwards :)

chenritzo and marekpetrik (ap newbie!) dragged me out of bed to meet at 7.30am at Teatown for a jog. I turned up on time. Weather was perfect, and the company fantastic, needless to say...
I was thinking this evening, I need to learn to run (faster) to make navigation challenging again. Mission.

climbing 1:30 [3]
A mixture of good, bad and ugly. Made it up a third of an interesting 5.10-, did a 5.8& 5.7- combo, third of a 5.8 (if even), third of a 5.9, 5.7, 5.5.

This amused me:
"2. Have demonstrated a high level of competitive performance in elite
+Trail-O events (that is, events set up according to the Technical Guidelines

3. Given the paucity of elite Trail-O events in the Irish calendar planning

Jog to start plus putting out some streamers for 4 loops interval training...
Good company for the exercises - Laura&dogs, agra, Becks, Dave W, Krille, Hannah - the experienced girls also hung streamers.
Great to have a bit of focus to the training, I find it way too easy to just jog around and get distracted. I've hardly raced at all in the past year and a bit and it shows. Wasn't clean or smooth, but not too bad either. And at least my streamers were hung in the right place ;p

"Afternoon" session. CorridorO, not particularly difficult, but had to concentrate. Physically I was weak, walked a bit, and my left knee started to go on the downhills towards the end. Nothing serious. Fun.
Two sessions, food, showered, logged before 3pm. Must be a record. I feel like I should do something with the afternoon.
