Note
My weight has lately been steady in the range 180-185 lbs. I have to wonder if 170 is possible by the end of the year with a nutritious diet given my current training plan. Once I have settled into a steady running schedule, I will add weights to build up my leg and ankle strength.
To future Ian reading this log: current events over the past few weeks have included the London Olympics, the nomination of Paul Ryan for the Republican VP candidate with Mitt Romney, and it was suggested that the 2012 US men's olympic basketball team would beat the Dream Team (lol).
The British built three Invincible class battlecruisers in the early 1900s. They were classic battlecruiser designs - Dreadnought style heavy armament, lightly armored, high speed ships best suited to chasing down smaller ships. Ironically, the Invincible was the only one sunk, annihilated in a magazine explosion under the combined fire from two German battlecruisers at Jutland. One of the Invincibles was the HMS Inflexible, which always struck me as an odd name for a ship, even from the British. One of great weaknesses is excessive flexibility - I can mold and adapt to most perturbations, but in so doing, I lose contact with the various points of regularity that characterize a typical schedule. I can endure shifts of 6 hours in my Circadian rhythm without much noticeable ill effects, but I can't consistently maintain a 24 hour period. This must change. And perhaps, like the Inflexible, I will sink a pair of German armored cruisers along the way.
Training aspirations.

Note
I have posted the NEOC schedule both on the NEOC website and on attackpoint. Show your support for orienteering in New England by indicating whether or not you are coming to the events listed on the AP schedule! The schedule this fall will include three or four sprint events to kick off the season, two Night-Os, at least seven standard local events, and the Blue Hills Traverse. I have included several maps not seen on schedules in the past few years: Turtle Pond, High Rock, Boxford, and Townsend.
