Off to Austin tomorrow to visit my brother and watch a couple Univ. of Texas soccer games (his daughter is goalie, team is ranked #4 in the country).
Monday Oct 21, 2002 #
biking 1:20:00 [3]
Greenfield/Turners Falls. Legs tired and sore (took one header on Sunday and banged up a knee). Biking was ok, wouldn't have gotten out the door for a run.
Tuesday Oct 15, 2002 #
trail running 22:58 [2] 2.5 mi (9:11 / mi)
Trying to work out the soreness in my quads, getting better.
Sunday Oct 13, 2002 #
trail running 54:35 [4] 5.0 mi (10:55 / mi)
Monroe trail race supposed to be 10.5 mi, probably less. First half is mostly up (net gain 1800'), second half down on a different route.
A strange day. Within 5 minutes my left quad started hurting a little. It felt better climbing, and I felt good climbing, but on one short descent halfway up, the quad was complaining seriously. But then more climbing and it and I felt fine. Reached the top just behind Jeff Saeger, started zipping down to go by hime, and in the course of about 200 meters the leg went from a little sore, to very sore but I can live with this, to I can barely walk, let alone run.

trail running 35:22 [1] 1.5 mi (23:35 / mi)
Part 2: Really painful just standing there. And it's 50 and raining and, well, I'm not really happy about the prospects of getting off the mountain. A very awkward hoppity-hop, trying to keep moving enough to stay warm. On the flat places it would loosen up a bit and I could jog/shuffle, on the steep pitches it was all I could do to get down.
trail running 40:03 [2] 3.0 mi (13:21 / mi)
Got to the next aid station, didn't feel like waiting for an hour for a ride, kept shuffling. A couple of nice uphills that I could relax on some and run pretty hard (and get warm), a few more good downs that froze it up again, and then a bunch of gentle flats for more shuffling.
A real bummer, seeing as how good I felt on the uphill. Hopefully it's not to be a recurring thing.

trail running 5:00 [2] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
Jog out to start.
orienteering 52:45 [4] 5.2 km (10:09 / km) +886ft 8:03 / km
Ran day 2 GreenY course from the Troll cup. No flags out, of course, but I'd been to all the points and knew if I was in the right place or not. A pretty good run, actually. Legs felt really tired after bike ride yesterday afternoon, but managed to run more uphills than I've been doing recently. Splits: 2:28, 2:18, 2:02, 7:45, 3:18, 1:12, 7:02, 3:06, 4:50, 5:54, 5:17, 6:31, 1:00 = 52:45.
Map may not be perfect, but it is plenty good enough.

biking 1:36:11 [3]
To Lake Wyola and Shutesbury, good effort. Just got home before it rained.
Wednesday Oct 2, 2002 #
orienteering 3:00:00 [1]
Picking up the last of the controls on a warm and humid morning. Just a long walk, glad to be done. Got pretty tired of this by the end, but I suppose if we didn't take turns doing it, we wouldn't have any orienteering at all.
Tuesday Oct 1, 2002 #
biking 37:18 [2]
To Turners Falls for monthly SHINE meeting (a group I do volunteer work for counseling seniors about health insurance and Medicare). Relaxed pace so as not to work up too much of a sweat. Gentle tailwind.
biking 54:13 [3]
A couple of hours later, over to Greenfield for an errand, then back home into a stiffening headwind. Worked harder than I planned. Legs didn't have much zip.
