Orienteering race (Thomass) 59:00 [5] *****
ahr:182 max:191 shoes: Icebugs
Thomass Dundas. Bash designed a great course, in tricky terrain and slippery conditions. I ran with the elite women, (or hung on) since my handicap is the same as theirs.
Once again, even though I deliberately walked some steep hills to keep the HR from being too crazy, it was over 180 the whole time, just barely in level 5 for me. I guess that's just my race pace.

Orienteering 1:40:00 [1] ****
shoes: Icebugs
Picking up controls with Bash shadowing me. I learn more this way than simply getting the map and racing off.
Holger says we need to do lots of level 1, so here we go...
Thank goodness he also makes my total training volume look low! I had thought I had way too much low intensity volume, but if it works for Holger... wonder why it doesn't work for me as well? Oh yeah, his resting HR is 30, and his level 1 is 4.5-5.0 min/km on trails.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [1]
AM session warmup at Training Camp
Orienteering (Sprint) 22:00 [4] ***
shoes: Icebugs
Sprint at Rattlesnake. Didn't push too hard, and other than a few minor errors it went well, for me. I enjoyed running without other orienteers in front of me, until near the end when Mr Pither passed me.
Orienteering (Relay) 1:33:00 [4] ***
ahr:164 max:185 shoes: Icebugs
Relay at Bronte Creek. More complex due to few contours and mostly vegetation nav- didn't go as smoothly. Soggy at the end too.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Missed most of the instructions while warming up!

Silly Walks 10:00 [2]
Running 31:00 [3]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
Commute in fairly deep, wet snow and rain.
Strength (Home gym) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout #2. Feeling strong, but maybe it's due to my post X-mas body weight increase.

Snowshoeing (Rest day) 50:00 [1]
An easy plod home on snowshoes, recovering from a busy weekend.

XC Skiing hills (Skating) 45:00 [4]
Skate skiing at Horseshoe. Much faster today than Saturday. This workout is actually the climbing portion on both loops, where we climbed up hills called "The Wall" etc. I have to say that skate skiing up steep hills is one of the hardest aerobic things I do, given that it's only the 4th time on skaing skis and my technique's not all that efficient (or the engine's not all that big.)
XC Skiing (Skating) 1:20:00 [3]
The rest of the ski at Horseshoe. Man, you can fly on level trails on skating skis when it's near zero, even if the climbing is harder than classic. It's finally starting to feel a bit more natural for me. Bash's looking good.

Strength (Home gym) 45:00 [2]
Workout # 1. Skipped triceps as we have to saw a lot of downed trees later on today.
Snowshoeing long (Trail work) 2:15:00 [1]
We took saw and pruner to all the downed trees on the trails in the Palgrave area. Lots that had bent over and never straightened, and those sawed fairly easily, but the fallen elm trees that were frozen to the ground were a different matter.
Still, chainsaws are for wimps. Now we can ski the trails again, if we get some fresh powder.
