More frisbee golf. So muddy.

25 minute warmup, 8x23s up 15% hill w/ 37s jog down, 25 minute cooldown. Feeling good, but I tried varying my stride to make sure it was balanced.

Got so much sleep last night, woke up feeling great. So ready to tackle tomorrow's workout.

All up to speed now. Short breaks are necessary sometimes. With that in mind, Monday (today) through Wednesday are dedicated for rest; my body is telling me I need it. Weekend plans are leaning towards DVOA, but I'm not 100% sold on it just yet.

Could possibly be getting a vaccination through Cornell sometime soon. Being a TA has its perks.

Event: DVOA Tyler State Park
 

Didn't go to Tyler. Pi day relay was a virtual event that consisted of 4 teams of 4 racing to see which group can run the most digits (that many miles per digit) of pi in a 5 hour window. Every four digits (i.e. 1st-4th, 5th-8th, 9th+ digits of pi) have to be run by all four members of the group. I assume most ran on the streets, some people probably ran on a track. Our team coordinated, and as the only guy I ran a 1, 9, then 5 in that order, totaling to 15 miles over roughly 4 hours. We tied with another team for the most digits completely ran (3.141592653 -- 10 digits). The tiebreaker was how far the last uncompleted digit was ran at the 2:00PM cutoff; both my team and the other team ran the same distance to the nearest hundredth of mile (read: within the same control circle), and the race coordinators decided that both teams each got their pies. My pie? Lemon meringue. Contested only maybe by pumpkin.

3....1 mile run: fourth digit of pi in the pi-day relay.

3.1415...9 mile run: 6th digit of pi in pi day relay. Got about 45 minutes of rest beforehand. Maybe not the best route to do a timed race on when others were probably more strategic with their elevation gain.

3.1415926...5 mile run: 9th digit of pi in pi day relay. Got about an hour and a half of rest beforehand. Overdid it by 0.1 miles, that was valuable time lost. Our team was in second, so I ran a pretty cheap route to stay competitive with the team in first.
