Event: OOC B-meet - Nakkertok
 

B-meet at Nakkertok. Felt stiff and sore, and never got a feel of speed in the running. Easy course with lots of trail running. Nice open forest now with the leaves off.

Long Advanced - Splits

Francis training. Warmup jog 10min, 4km run (4 laps of 4H loop). Was supposed to be just under lactic acid threshold. 5.02, 5.06, 4.59, 5.01. I was probably slightly over the lactic acid threshold as I could feel it in the legs the last lap. However, felt fresh and could probably continued at the same speed for another lap or two. Cool-down jog, 10min.

Ottawa O-fest two man relay on Thanksgiving Monday on the March Highlands map. Finally I got to compete after vetting and course setting for the earlier events.
Teamed up with Glenn Birnie. I ran legs 1 and 3, and Glenn 2 and 4.

Had a good first course, only a few seconds hesitation on #5, and a slower route choice to #7, straight through the forest instead of running out on trail left or the street right. At the start I had Adrian T and Mark G around me, but after a couple of hundred meters I was alone for the rest of the course.

Leg 2 of the two-man relay. Glenn finished faster than I expected and he had to yell for me at the exchange. I run out 20 meters behind Adrian (Victor must had a good second leg). but again after the first meadow he took a different route and I didn't see him again. Took a slow (but safe) route to #2. Missed #8 a few seconds, came out on the trail north of the flag. Control description says North side of hill, but the hill is non-existent and the flag was tucked in behind a root-stock. Run by #9, but stopped, read the map and looked behind me and saw the flag, maybe 10s lost. Now I took the trail route to #10. Overall pleased with the two runs although on both loops I got tired towards the end.
Glenn hold off the challengers on leg4 and we finished first.
