Running 20:10 [2] 2.1 mi (9:36 / mi) +10m 9:28 / mi
shoes: R-NB-760

Easy loop around Revelstoke in late evening. R-hamstring sore in spots on/off during drive and feels like a bit of a lump in there, but holding up okay given the racing load. R-IT @ knee rather tweaked during today's run. Odd. Maybe the Sprint, or sleeping funny, or sitting too much in the car, or failing to do the appropriate stretches for a long time.. :)

Note

I have to say that I really liked the NAOC event announcing & color commentary by Balter & Vlad, though I didn't really take the brunt of any of the particularly harsh comments...

Orienteering race 16:33 [4] *** 3.6 km (4:36 / km) +50m 4:18 / km
shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

NAOC Sprint. Felt like I was pushing hard enough for a Sprint, though at times I probably wasn't. Didn't use my HR/GPS due to a reminder about some rule yesterday, so don't know if I really was pushing as hard as I do in a 5k race - though I felt like it a few times. Was sloppy a bit on the first one, and one in the middle (6), losing 15 sec or so on each of them, plus some other slop, which just isn't allowable in a Sprint. A bit sad that the 'maze' of vegetation up top wasn't a bit thicker, which might've made reading one's way through the corridors an effective tradeoff.

Running warm up/down 20:00 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

Both up & down today, and some good stretching.

Sprint - Course 8 - Splits

Saturday Jul 3, 2010 #

Orienteering race 1:43:45 16.3 km (6:22 / km) +610m 5:22 / km
ahr:156 max:167 shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

Another lacklustre running effort, this time with more technical mistakes as well. After getting sick after last week's US Champs long, I was not only a bit afraid to push this hard, but I was also getting friend from a lot of racing, I think. Technical mistakes amounted to maybe 4-8 minutes, depending on pickiness - apparently a competitive level of mistakes looking at others, even the leaders. I don't know if it was the unaccustomed to camping sleep, or some poor nutrition (way too much meat the night before, and some bread in the AM), or the number of days of racing though...

Running 8:00 [2] 1.5 km (5:20 / km) +30m 4:51 / km
shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

Run up to the start. No cooldown. Am doing some stretching before & after some of the races this summer - mostly the active stuff from FastTracks, not so much of the R-hip injury related stuff.

Long - Course 10 - Splits

Event: North American Orienteering Championships

Running warm up/down 10:00 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: O-VJ-Grey-Spikes

Some highly unstructured warmup for NAOC Middle

Orienteering race 36:23 [4] 5.53 km (6:35 / km) +188m 5:37 / km
ahr:165 max:174 shoes: O-VJ-Grey-Spikes

NAOC Middle. Trying to focus on a clean, strong race. Was fairly clean in the circles, with some short suboptimal route choices. Interesting course to have route choices on many short legs, but not super hard control sites for the most part.

Unfortunately, the run-strong part of the equation wasn't there. Felt sluggish the entire time - e.g. felt like I was pushing hard but just not moving. HR suggests similarly, as even when Rob Baker ran by, I felt like I was pushing as hard as I could to keep up, yet my HR was only in the low 170's. It should average 175 at an important Middle event. Partly, my feet work cold, and unsteady, but there were several uphill legs where I could've conceivably gone to a 180 max HR w/little foot or slipperiness issues to keep the HR down. Some days I guess the gas pedal just isn't there...

Middle - Course 10 - Splits

Thursday Jul 1, 2010 #

Running warm up/down 8:42 [2] 1.36 km (6:24 / km)
shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

To THOMASS event start - wrapped up our sightseeing and slowish morning a bit late and ended up 6 minutes late to the start.

Orienteering 39:06 [2] 5.07 km (7:43 / km) +171m 6:36 / km
ahr:137 max:150 shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330

Thomass event. Took it easy given the next 3 day's plans...

Long sprint - Splits

Running 57:42 [2] 8.65 km (6:40 / km) +300m 5:41 / km
shoes: R-NB-760

First a pretty run up & down 2/3 of the Avalanche Creek trail in Montana's Glacier Park, then after hiking all the way back up there, AJ & I ran all the way back down the trail to the car.

Easy run around Whitefish KOA, and a little stretching. Nice KOA.
