Note
slept:9.0 (rest day)
Too much to take care of to run before the track meet and I had to pick Luke up at baseball right after.
Track meet was at Fairport (again? every year?). We started looking like we were going to pull our annual choke at Fairport, thanks to our #2 sprinter being out with blisters from playing soccer on the weekend, our top 800 guy lost 2nd in the 400 in a tough call by the official, and then had to sit the 800 out, due his ankle flaring up (so they swept us in the 800). And our top 3200 guy overdid things earlier in the meet and finished 3rd. Plus nate had nothing left in his legs after the Team Trials the past two days. And our top vaulter no-heighted, coming in too high with a sore back.
But some of our field event guys had a rare big day. A PR in the Long Jump was good enough to win, our 7th grade Triple Jumper went over 39-feet (unreal!), for 2nd and our second shot put guy grabbed an unexpected third. This set us up to only need one relay to win the meet. We had won the 100, almost went 1-2 in the 400 and were swept in the 800, so the obvious relay to go after was the 4x800, not the 4x400 or 4x100! Our first two guys led, with just 2:06 (fresh) and 2:10 (coming off a 2:03 in the open 800), so the 1:59 third leg put things away and we had our new sprinter anchoring, who was able to just cruise to a 2:02 (after winning the 400, 100 and 200 - in 21.6 or something sick like that).

C • Meet 1
Saturday May 15, 2010 #
Event: ROC - Mendon Ponds Park
Event: 2010 US Team Trials for WOC
10 AM
Orienteering race 55:29 [3] 3.39 mi (16:22 / mi) +134m 14:35 / mi
US Team Trials - Middle - Blue
Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 3.4 mi (8:49 / mi)
A 2.5K jog to the start, with a longer return trip which made a w/dn mandatory - that was a good thing!
3 PM
Orienteering race 16:44 [4] 2.4 km (6:58 / km) +60m 6:12 / km
US Team Trials - Sprint - Blue
The highlight of the Sprint (from my perspective) was that I was ahead of nate for 9 controls (which meant disaster for him, unfortunately). He did beat me by about 2.5 minutes, despite my early lead.
I was somewhat clean early, but took a nasty spill near C8, drawing blood on my hand. Another fall shortly afterward put some nice tears (as in rips, not crying!) in my map (why no map bags???), which happened to avoid hitting the remaining course. I blew 10 pretty badly, cutting down from the field too early, and not being able to differentiate the mapped rock features, loss was at least 40 seconds. I managed to blow by the trail that was the signal to leave the path for C11, and lost over 30 seconds there as well. I then started to run out of gas, so by the time C16 came along, with a tough climb, I was quite slow, and missed the shortcut to boot. I did recover on the downhill and got to and from the go control pretty quickly, with only 6 guys beating me by more than 2 seconds.

Running warm up/down 6:00 [2] 0.67 mi (9:00 / mi)
Just a brief w/up before the Sprint, finished with a couple of good strides, so I would be ready to go.
No w/dn to speak of. Dumb.

I had enough of the treadmill and Chris was still going, so I killed some time on the bike. Auto-pilot mode, kept my HR near 120 which was again surprisingly tough on the legs.

Running 22:03 2.9 mi (7:36 / mi)
slept:6.0
Squeezed in a short run before the track meet at Irondequoit. Ran up to Pinegrove (I think - I get the soccer fields confused), which has a small nature park attached, ran some trails and returned. Did 2 decent 2 min pick-ups and 1 lame pick-up.
The meet was great! Irondequoit is not real strong this year, and after last week's hard effort (3 meets), I had the kids just do one individual event (there ended up being a couple of exceptions), so they could focus on one quality effort. That ended up producing a boatload of PRs, especially from the younger kids, which is great, since the JV Championships are next Thursday, and they now have new expectations.
nate made a rare appearance in the open 800 and won in 2:03. Zach knocked about 10 seconds off his 1600 PR, running 5:23.

Running 40:00 4.64 mi (8:37 / mi) +64m 8:16 / mi
After the meet, I was able to convince myself to head out for another run. I drove up to the lake and did some running in Durand-Eastman. I did 3 more 2 minute pick-ups, the last one was downhill, so I felt guilty and decided to do one more. But when I got to the lakeside trail, I saw a 1.5-mile marker, so I picked it up to the 1-mile mark. First 440 was uphill in 1:45, last 440 was flatter and I managed 1:33.
