Event: OCIN FAST-O - Miami Univ Western Campus

walking 2:00:00 [1] *
30c weight:160lbs

Course setting for FAST-O at Miami Western Campus. Encountered some new construction which added some interest to the races. What do you do when they start bulldozing the day of the event? In this case we just ran around the bulldozer (which was still operating until well after 7 pm!) At least he didn't give chase to any orienteers!

Event: 16th East Fork Lake Backpack Trail Run

walking warm up/down 10:00 [1]
weight:163lbs shoes: Sala Runner 3

warm-up for East Fork Trail Run. mix of pavement and trail. Started to jog the final quarter mile of course and did the worst ankle roll I have done in a while. This was just over an hour before my start time, and for most of the next hour I was on-again-off-again debating whether to run. I probably should not have, but finally decided in favor of doing the run.

trail running race 54:40 [4] 5.3 mi (10:19 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Icebugs

This is a seeded start race, based on age and gender, with the idea that the oldest women start first and the young fast guys start last.

The first three hilly miles were pretty good, not exceptional, but quite tolerable, given my overall fitness & the problem ankle. But after the 3rd mile, the heat, humidity, muddy trails, the gimpy ankle, and allergies conspired to slow me down. I had started two minutes behind Pat Meehan (Orunner) and one of my goals had been to catch and pass him. If I had been able to maintain pace, it could have been a very interesting finish. Meanwhile, Dave Waller started 4 minutes behind me, and another of my pre-race goals had been to NOT let him catch me, but catch me he did, reeling me in about mile 4.5. Oh well, there is next year.

miles:
9:58, 9:49, 10:13, 11:25 (yuck), 11:33 (yuck).

comparison to past races:
2005 52:32
2007 50:01
2008 51:00
2011 54:40
odd years run counter-clockwise, even years run clockwise.

13c weight:162lbs shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

Sebald Park Middle Distance. Horse trails and honeysuckle. Dave Waller did a nice job of creating an interesting and challenging course.

orienteering race 17:25 [3] *** 2.2 km (7:55 / km)
11c shoes: Jalas hi-top 2010

Sebald Park Sprint Courses. I was a little tired and slow after running the first course. This one stayed to more open areas of the park, and while Dave managed to place some controls in uniquely deceptive locations, it was a pretty fast course. I must say I enjoyed this one much more than the fight thru the honeysuckle!
