Event: World University Champs 2010 (WUOC)
 

Putting out flags in deep cove, despite the pessimism from other orienteers all the people from my lab seemed to enjoy themselves and I did not have to look for anyone (but it did take some a lot longer than I had thought). We somewhat started as a group, but some were really determined to learn to read the map, and do it more by themselves.

C • pessimism vs realism 3

Picking up the flags in the afternoon, then stood with my legs in the ocean for awhile :)

Scenic run in Lynn Valley with Clare and Zoltan, then a great bbq at Magnus and Andrea's!

Warm up jog to track, another warm up jog with the group and strides.

Pyramid workout, stomach not so great so pretty painful (acidic) by the end but great to have people to run with on the track. We were about 6 in the fastest group today. All rests were around 2 mins (or a little under since I was near the end of the group) as prescribed (longer rests but told we were supposed to make the intervals hard enough to "deserve" it)

Then jerry's dynamic stretching/warm up exercises, and silly walks after our warm up jog.

Warm down including some drop squats and other strength exercises, then jog home.

Putting out / checking and picking up controls at UBC

Fastish run in the evening with Nate

Straight up the hill at the start was brutal, then a few controls later I seemed to become the leader of a reasonably long train. After the butterfly the guys group ahead of us made a mistake so I ended up coming back to the field first, but then in the spectator loop andy and marte got just ahead of me (we had broken away from a lot of the train and then I went a bit low on a short leg and ended up just behind them).
