Event: RMOC Fox Run Regional Park
 

I spent the night in an Airbnb room near Fox Run rather than making the three-hour roundtrip drive twice in 24 hours. The room worked out great -- a clean & private basement suite, and the homeowners were only around for about five minutes while I was there / awake.

I did the four Loop courses first, and then Orange -- lots of fun.

* Loop 1 -- Pretty clean.

* Loop 2 -- Lost some time on #5.

* Loop 3 -- Inefficient route from #6 to Finish (I was trying to avoid all the up / down I was seeing south of the trail -- it looked worse to me at the time than what the map reflects). :-P

* Loop 4 -- Biggest mistakes of the day. Wasn't sure which way to go when I hit the trail near #3. Dumb wandering at #5.

* Orange -- Pretty happy with this. Could have been more direct & efficient from #6 to #7; got distracted by the wrong flag near #8; overshot #10 a bit.

It was *freezing* while sitting still to do registration with Elton & Gøril, but very pleasant while running. I got rained on during my last course and started shivering uncontrollably (even with a down jacket on) after I finished and was standing still again. So I helped Doug pack up and then sat in my car with the heater blasting for a while.

Fox Run CSOL (Friday) -- Drove to meet & helped w/ Starts & packing up afterwards.

Fox Run (Saturday) -- Prepared OE2010 files for Doug (Classes & Entries); re-generated files after talking through options & OE2010 workarounds with Doug & Neal (decision to create four entry records for each Loop runner). Printed start cards. Sent out RMOC email with meet updates. Recorded meet hotline message due to weather...

Easy run with the LoCO group. They did four miles; I cut out early b/c I'm stressed about getting sh*t done tonight (work deadlines, weekend meet prep, groceries, laundry, packing, etc.).

Fox Run CSOL meet: Finalized OE2010 files and start cards for Doug; email follow-ups (schedule, snacks, etc.).

Runners Roost group run.

I had planned to just walk, but I caved in to peer pressure -- ran up the hill to Davidson Mesa, ran and then walked a short loop around the mesa, and then ran back down to the store.

At Davidson Mesa.

* Ran a half mile to warm up.

* 3-mile / 2-mile / 1-mile progression run (each set should be a faster overall pace than the previous set, with a few minutes of walking in between sets).

3: 9:09, 9:10, 9:00 -- 9:06 avg
2: 8:44, 8:35 -- 8:39 avg
1: 8:02

* Ran a half mile to cool down.

My work laptop has crashed (for the second time in six weeks.), so I'm completely sidelined from "real" work. Which might sound great, except that I'm sure I'll still be expected to meet my Friday deadlines even if I lose two+ days this week due to not having my laptop... :-\
