Training Log Archive: Ricka

AM - Telling all deer that I saw, "Hide, firearm season begins tomorrow!" Unfortunately I only saw one and she ran away before I could warn her. Ie I checked a few more SQ trails that I'd only seen the trailheads for. The deer I did see were great to talk too - mostly securing their favorite site for their trailer (and beer, I presume)

PM: Vetted Trout Lodge map with Mark has he designed his Sprint (or Short Middle) course.

Vetting controls and mostly mapping new ATV trails at Shirley Quad. 60 degrees, leaves down, and no chiggers is a LOT more pleasant than when I visited this summer.

Shorter length, stronger pace - felt good.

12 double sets at Y.

First time on treadmill in a while and first double-aerobic at Y in a while. Intervals: 10:30 at 0% and 9:00 at 3%.

Event: SLOC - Meramec State Park
 

Strong run at Meremac State Park. Consistent - running felt very good. Edged Tim G by 1 minute. No significant errors.

Some hesitation approaching 6 (tops of reentrants seemed too large and too high) & 7 (didn't have a firm attack point - "High enough yet?" - route via trail (faster) and on left side (firm AP) looks better. I saw the trail option but did not read the better finish.) 9-10: Push to road worked but it was a bit of another 'sloppy last leg' syndrome.

Sunny & warm - what a great day be orienteering!
