Orienteering race (CR middle) 31:15 4.1 km (7:37 / km) +100m 6:48 / km

Beautiful day and nicer part of the woods used. Solid run with a couple of areas of hesitations and 2 legs where faster route choices could have been used (3-4 and 8-9). Edged 6 secs by Charlie S who had a strong race especially mid section. SL = 3.9k.

Orienteering (Corn maze O) 16:14 [3] *** 2.4 km (6:46 / km)
spiked:10/12c

Fun event at a nice family-themed farm. Great to hand out in some beautiful sunshine. Had to try this novelty event. Distance a guess as no FR. Two largish route choice errors getting caught in the traps.

C • Night O 5

Orienteering race (Night champs) 59:34 [4] **** 5.76 km (10:20 / km) +150m 9:09 / km

Solid run and in control- a few bobbles but no major mistakes- had problems with 11 and then slow run through thick stuff to last control. Some nice parts of white woods then other parts junky green (under mapped) forest. Nice evening weather wise. SL 5.2 k
Sandwich and beer followed at Mr D's pizza place and pleasant chat / company with PG.

Senior moment- closed my eyes somewhere past Waltham on commuter rail tonite and woke up just in time to get off at South Acton- 2 stops past Concord- at least it wasn't Fitchburg.

Walking 22:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:00 / km)
slept:6.0

Crisp morn. More or less back to normal from trip- has been tough (mentally and physically) this time.
PFD is hopefully some intervals to continue base build for track- in a week will be time to head indoors and work on sprint speed. Compared to this time last year, uninjured and better base so hopefully have some fast times in me this season.

Jogging warm up/down 29:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:48 / km)

before and after track with 4x50m strides, drills and stretches

Track intervals (MIT) 4:45 1.5 km (3:10 / km)

Somewhat ambitious plan conceived this am was to do 2 sets of 500, 400, 300, 200, 100 (aka 1500) intervals @ 85-90% (MP) with 200m recovery between. A little sunshine but still cold and very windy - did one set and a called it a day (better than nothing!). Time to go indoors to avoid injury. Went as follows:
1:40
79
57
34.2 (100 rest)
15.1

Monday Oct 24, 2011 #

Walking 21:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:30 / km)
slept:6.0

Coldest morning so far this fall- very nice out.

Spin warm up/down 17:15 [2] 8.0 km (2:09 / km)

Easy turnover

Strength (arms and core) 30:00 [3]

Std Monday routine with TRX and finishing with plonques.

Orienteering race (Long at the Fells) 1:04:25 [4] **** 6.3 km (10:13 / km) +190m 8:53 / km
spiked:13/15c

Much better effort today and certainly glad I went. Slept reasonably well night before, brain not so foggy and physical energy improving. Fun course by Dean, trail macro route choice predominated. Left a few minutes out there (mainly 7-8, and 11-12, mostly trail confusion). Second to a faster (fresher?) Ernst who broke the hour. Good to hang out for a while in the sunshine. Forgot FR again!

Note
slept:6.0

Mental acuity / frame much improved today as evidenced by getting to and from event parking without disorientation.

Note

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the super job executed by CSU logistically, top class courses and arena ambiance. Nothing like a tent in a sunlit field (cf UNOs BB event with ETOH beverage) with music to boot- just need to add a groovy DJ to the announcer mix, wide screen TVs :-) yada yada. Seriously a fun 3 days- thanks!
