Jogging warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.8 km (5:33 / km)

Plus stretching, legs felt ok

Orienteering race 40:21 intensity: (5:00 @2) + (30:21 @3) + (5:00 @4) 3.6 km (11:13 / km) +140m 9:23 / km

Solid but not spectacular run until 16- holding onto 2nd or 3rd on green. Than bam- brain fatigue, glasses too fogged and couldn't make sense of mapped rock- 3 mins lost right there but could have worse :-) and let Tim in for the win. Good technical course and no chance for boredom, was quite humid though.

Orienteering race 1:12:33 [3] *** 7.8 km (9:18 / km) +70m 8:54 / km
spiked:10/13c

Doozey (sp?) of a first control- poor route choice then lost glasses ripped off by a vine, found after a couple of minutes then rattled and missed control having to attack twice- 10 mins in the hole already! Too low on 4 for another couple of minutes, at which point Glen caught me. Second half beyond the spectator chute was OK so could have seen 61-62: but not to be. Surprised to hold on to 2nd place.

Note

Up early to airport, subjected to full pat down AND baggage search, swabbing O shies for chem residue, then lost cell phone - found again and had pleasant chat with TSA official- caught flight. Plane goes nowhere- issue with flaps uhoh. No probs and after slight delay on route to ATL. Subsequent journey uneventful:-). Then misplaced stretching stick at UWG campus - thanks Alex for repatriation :-)

Jogging warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)

Enough to get sweaty with drills and strides.

Orienteering race 20:21 intensity: (5:00 @3) + (10:00 @4) + (5:21 @5) **** 3.55 km (5:44 / km) +105m 5:00 / km
spiked:17/18c

Executed game plan which was to go out steady, due to length, temp and hills at end. Got stood look at the #5 trap on route to 2, so went round building, 5-7 maybe not optimal however went past 8 to get a look, 8-9 could have been better, on route to 10 planned right hand route from 11-12, bobbled on 13-14 getting off line to check out a course 5 control tucked back by the fence. Otherwise steady and pretty clean and 6th on green. Had something left at end so maybe could have seen 19 ish. SL= 3k. Nice map, area and good course but could have been shorter by 600m.

Note

Very pleasant dinner with Peter and Gail, Dennis, Gavin, Charlie and Bob.

Note

Interestingly predicted a winning time the other day for green sprint of 17:30ish and actual today was 17:43; somewhat fluky based on guesstimate of actual to SL distance ratio

Orienteering 24:54 [3] *** 3.05 km (8:10 / km) +85m 7:10 / km
spiked:10/11c

Escape to PH for some "long sprint / short middle" training. Well.... a run of Ian's no trail exercise from last Sat, with objective to focus on control flow and big feature ID. Went pretty well at steady pace: stymied by an uncrossable fence on way to 2 (control circle overprinted), got slightly offline on way to 5, a tad on 7 and most on way to 10 trying to smooth out the hill, and stopped too soon on way to 7, but no more than about 1-1:30 min total lost. SL distance =2.85.

Borderline conditions 58F and blustery but needed to do some track as season starts early May- compression tights on and plenty of stretching. Plan was 8x200 @80-85% (36 sec per 200) with diagonal walk recovery. Maintained steady effort, did 2 more than planned and quit while I was ahead and uninjured:
