Orienteering race 1:17:35 **** 8.35 km (9:17 / km) +290m 7:55 / km
ahr:129 max:181 spiked:13/15c
Better run today, not perfect with a couple of minutes dropped out there but good enough for 2nd, 1:30 behind and 13 sec ahead of Soupbone (finishing kick?). Generally good route choices and execution, have to see splits. Slight miss on 9 (too high) and overran 12. Slow going mostly through green woods. SL = 7.4k
Note
Looking back, average heart rate was low and I knew I was being conservative out there. A couple of minutes of reported error but also some missed ops for higher output. So room for improvement.

Orienteering race 56:09 [3] **** 5.35 km (10:30 / km) +110m 9:31 / km
ahr:146 max:169 spiked:8/17c
Aargh woeful. After #3 could t see so took glasses off which limits my ability to see distance- so grey shapes and phantom orange controls were my day. Took a bad tumble and caught shoulder on a stump- dazed but seemed ok. Had a couple of ok legs but compass generally off to right. Deserved to get punished today but just don't handle these foggy and rain squall conditions at all well. C- run and SL 3.9!

Event: MNOC - Adventure Run #3
Note
slept:8.0 weight:62.6kg (rest day)
East coast bound. Have to note a highly unusual constellation of events in the generally unstable BP firmament - as in:
A) no injury and
B) no jet lag and
C) no unusual work stress (as in job move)
So really looking forward to a fun weekend at NAOC - highlight should be the beer tasting event. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
BTW need to hear more trans-border trash talk from Ian S et al :-)
Yeah I know; gotta get your kicks somewhere (used to be Aussie Kiwi rivalry)

Note
Comment on recent (cataclysmic?) revelations on the dirty sport of cycling - juicing was bad enough, but what's worse about L.A. is the deceit and cover up that went with the whole sorry affair - integrity??.
Now running; NYT today on Chris Hesch, distance runner who used EPO to gain an edge for the small purses offered at 5k races and above. Where is WADA when you need them, assuming they have a state of the art test for EPO? Would not be surprised to learn of doping in masters track, but fortunately have not seen it. Maybe because those with talent dont need it AND there is no financial incentive. At least I hope thats the case, however reality sometimes dashes dreams. Anyhow I hope to remain a niave idealist at heart.

ahr:129 max:147
Medicine Lake 8 miler. Cool 44F and moist. 4 miles in 32:41 and 30:56, with last mile around 6:40 pace. Felt good and legs were feeling fresh.
Note
Coming to the end of the Fall 10 week base building macro-cycle and after NAOC will switch to a pre-indoor build cycle. 1Q2013 will be indoor comp cycle and then switch to prep for JK as I plan on hitting the UK end of March.
Speaking of NAOC, only just found time to focus on the details and bulletins etc and realized there is some complexity to staying at PEEC and shuttling, especially on last day and left a very tight connection out of EWR. Thanks to Valerie for sorting out my start time issue. Now I couldn't miss a sprint- could I?
