Orienteering (Little Bennett) 58:55 ** 5.21 km (11:19 / km) +134m 10:01 / km
ahr:149 max:183 14c

on my own- tryng out the permanent course there but instead of doing one of the courses I made my own course to get all of the controls, but it was very similar to the intermediate one.

Orienteering (Little Bennett) 1:30:14 * 5.11 km (17:39 / km) +123m 15:46 / km
ahr:131 max:187 9c

basically felt like rerunning the other course I did. Intermediate permanent course and I went with a friend, not even trying to run or anything, just sorta chilling while I was navigating almost completely by memory. It was almost like a course review but in person, minus a few controls.

also, well, so much for a rest day.

Biking (Capital Crescent Trail) 1:59:17 40.3 km (2:58 / km) +234m 2:53 / km
ahr:147 max:179

I felt slow and a bit sore from yesterday, and I thought that biking through Bethesda slowed me down a lot. Apparently not, apparently I was faster than two weeks ago- and I'm not sure if that was mostly because of the terrain or if I improved. Also my endurance definitely improved, because even towards the end I didn't slow down much at all and felt about the same as at the beginning strength-wise.
I could've done without all the people on the trail today, but it was a nice day so I can't really say I expected otherwise. I'm pretty satisfied with this biking.

also extra note: my pace is apparently the exact same as yesterday's, even when the climb is taken into account. nice

Biking (Beach Dr) 1:40:03 [3] 33.7 km (2:58 / km) +185m 2:53 / km
ahr:146 max:179

time to up the time i exercise this week now that I've got my bike-
i think that I'm going to try going for a looot of time (like 2 hours a day) with low intensity on the weeks when I'm at my mom's house, so basically focusing on a ton of biking, and then on weeks I'm at my dad's house I'll focus more on running/higher intensity, still trying to get about 30 mins- 1 hour a day in. Kind of because at my dad's I can't really bike, and at my mom's I'm really sick of running in the areas near the condo, so I'd have to bike a bit anyways to get to terrain I'd be willing to run on. Like, yes, there's not really much variation at my dad's, but there I feel less frustrated when I run on the same thing over and over- I guess partially because it's on pavement and I don't see as many people there.

Event: QOC PWF Pine Grove

Note

back at my mom's house, so i get to bike again. Plus it's an easier week for school, so the training hours are about to go uppppp-

10 AM

Walk warm up/down 16:06 [1] 1.23 km (13:05 / km) +23m 11:58 / km
ahr:92 max:120

Orienteering 1:22:12 *** 7.08 km (11:37 / km) +162m 10:25 / km
ahr:145 max:187 12c

running-wise, i did okay. I definitely could've done better, but I can't be angry. I was actually able to run up a few of the hills this time (moreso in the first half). But for how hilly this park is, I really can't complain.

I messed up #2 a bit, I was too much to the right and then traversed the hillside too low, so I did a bit of a loop around the control. It wasn't too horrible, but it definitely cost me a few minutes.
On #3, I was still a bit frustrated about the mistake, because when I got to the reentrant with the control in it, I started looking for the control and the bouler about 100-150m too early, which cost me about a minute. Then I did a quick breathing exercise in an attempt to reset my focus, and it helped.

After that, I only really lost focus on the way to #8, after passing the water pits i really have no clue where I crossed the stream and how I got to the control, but I made it, so I lucked out.

Overall, I think my compass work was pretty good, there were several legs on which I used a bearing, so that's good. Improvement on that part- also I think I didn't lose too much time on river crossings, so that's good. Only the first time I was crossing Quantico Creek I went around over to the bridge which probably cost me some time- definitely some distance- because the river looked too deep for me to cross there.

I weirdly enough felt like I was dehydrated more than usual on the course, even though I drank a lot more water than I usually do yesterday and in the morning. Maybe it was because i didn't eat anything before going on the course. I really need to fix my eating- i rarely have an appetite anymore, but when I do, i could eat anything and everything. Just like my training, it's all or nothing.
