Orienteering 42:22 *** 2.93 mi (14:28 / mi) +98m 13:07 / mi
ahr:133 max:156 spiked:9/13c slept:6.0 weight:159lbs shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
Re-run of Forest Park sprint 2 from 2009, set by Phil. Rainy, kind of dark. Wore a contact for the first time in a long while, which is really not very satisfactory. It's better than wet glasses, though. Trying to be very careful, but still slipped once and hit my outstretched right hand. Pretty painful initially, but seemingly no long term effect.
Orienteering 41:26 *** 2.75 mi (15:06 / mi) +135m 13:06 / mi
ahr:127 max:150 spiked:8/8c shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
Re-run of sprint 1. Even more gingerly and moving slowly. No real problems except I got stuck on the hillside leaving 4 and couldn't get across the stream for a while. Didn't help that I didn't know it was a stream until I got to it. Gave up and went in after 8 because it was getting late and dark.

Gym 50:00 [3]

workout today was Tabata squats, KB swings and situps. 8 rounds each of 20seconds on, 10 seconds off. 131 squats, 92 KBs (12 kg), 104 situps. Then some dumbbell push presses, ending up with 50 lb. (all one arm, of course) I'm sure I'll be sore from the Tabata sets.

Dog walk with the girls. Damp and humid. A strange day and night yesterday. Got home from Sessions with an even sorer foot, and feeling quite lethargic. Rhonda was also missing all her zip, and we spent the afternoon reading (and for me, napping). To bed about 830, which was fine until about 12:15, and then up until 330 or so before getting back to sleep. This is starting to become a pattern, although this was a little worse than other times.

Orienteering 1:39:59 *** 7.32 km (13:39 / km) +178m 12:10 / km
ahr:112 max:146 spiked:12/19c shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
O-training run in West Hartford with George 'n' Lyn, Becks, AliC and Nellie. Becks set the aptly named Becky's Awesome course. I haven't been to W Htfd Rez in quite a few years, but it is probably the place I have known best, setting many courses there going back 20 years. Very rocky, lots of sticks. I was gingerly because of my ankle and because of trying not to fall on my wrist. Alas, as it got really gnarly between 17 and 18 I went right down, slamming right on my open hands. Not good. I don't think any major damage was done, but that was enough to decide to walk back from there, stopping only by 20 and 24, right on the way. Should I really be doing this stuff?
As for the orienteering, mostly ok. Seems like I might have been in the wrong place at 9 and at 12. Not surprising. Those were pretty tricky areas. In particular 9 didn't really look right. Also a little fishhook at 15, as I cut in too soon and then got sucked around the marsh too far south. It was good to quit when I did. The deathly scree slope was just ahead at that point, and hard enough for me to get down where I did.
Very fun to hang out with the gang and get some training in. Very slow, but mostly navigating a little better. Practice is good.

Gym 45:00 [3]
slept:8.0 weight:157.5lbs shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
warmup stuff, incl 800 m run, then the workout was as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of 15 situps, 10 KB swings, 5 pushups. I swapped out one arm dumbbell bench presses for the pushups, made 8 rounds plus 11 situps. Not so hard compared to other workouts, which was just right, as R and I were both pretty tired.
10 AM
Hike 1:22:45 [2] 3.58 mi (23:07 / mi) +268m 18:45 / mi
shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
Down Doyle Rd to the Wright trail and Mulcundry Rd, back up Left Rd, with Rhonda and Sassy. A bit wet in spots. Doyle Rd had a lot of small rocks that had washed into the paved part, then it was freshly graded down to Tom's. Below Tom a big maple tree across. Not a bad thing. Ted Wright trail generally in pretty good shape. Includes about a 5 minute stop to chat Tom up, who was driving by.
5 PM
Orienteering 1:00:00 [3] *** 4.5 km (13:20 / km)
spiked:4/8c shoes: 2011 NB MT101 green
Training at Norwottuck with Phil, Ali, Peter and Gail. No streamers, in a pretty shaky section of the map. My main objective was not to fall, which I accomplished. Secondary objective was to visit with my friends, also successful. Much lower priority were running hard and finding controls, which was good, because neither of them went so well. Best find was when I was hunting in what I believed to be the vicinity of #11 and I found Gail, so walked back in from there with her. There were 12 controls, but I only tried for 8 of them, and didn't find any of the ones on rocks. However, we all finished on time, and repaired up the road for a nice visit and some pizza. Forgot my forerunner, so I will probably never know where I was.

dog walk with R&S. Nice day, trails still pretty wet in spots. L knee a little ouchy this morning. From the run yesterday? Hard to say.

Another trip to McLean, and, oddly enough, exactly the same time. Striving for L, J &R. Perhaps a bit more relaxed than last time, but hardly loose or jaunty. Lots of work to do.
