Saturday Oct 22 | ||
| Event: O in the (*) Oaks | ||
| Note | |
| Took 10 g C last night. In the morning, three gigantic lymph nodes; behind the ear, side of the neck, and way back behind, the one that has always been full in the morning. The #4 finger on the left hand seems to be acting just as it did back in June of 2004.
It seems like a touch of hearing is coming back in the left earmaybe I'm fooling myself... but, there also clearly are several resonances, all new. Shower roars. And, in an alarming development, there is some intermittent ringing in the good ear, at a frequency separate (higher) from the one in the bad ear. I'd hate to lose HF hearing in both. | ||

| Warmed up, from the shuttle drop-off point to the start. As it later turned out, the warmup was unnecessary. | ||

| BAOC Oh-in-the-Poison-Oaks ey! ay! ugh. A brutal course... pretty much an IOF Long, but not runnable. Complex legs and a good map; but steeeep uphills, 480 m climb in the first 4 km of the course; later, lots of tall grass and chaparral/PO crossings. The hillsides were quite loose. I started well and led until 80+ minutes into the race. Felt reasonable; only, a few times had sharp pain in front of either eartemporal artery? The pain went away as soon as I commanded myself to relax.
Soon after I made a large error on #8 it became clear that the course was not doable in under 2 hours. So I slowed down after #10 quite a bit. Slowed down even more as I started to get this cottony feeling in my left leg around #12, and cramped big time on the climb to Control 15. Got into the finish all wobbly... it was almost impossible to run in the end. I think my physical problems and training limitations would have still dictated my performance even if I hadn't the neurology going on; clearly felt the aftereffects of The Relay. Syd seemed tired, too... Mikkel however was sick and started slow, and he didn't do the Relay. Or make as many errors as I did. | ||

Thursday Oct 20 | ||
| Note | |
| Felt sort of OK since the Relay. Fine at night, then a bit of pressure all over the day. Have been noticing the hearing loss more and more. The issues seem to be confined to the left inner-ear area. No cognitive problems so far, memory is good both short-term and long-term.
Got suddenly feverish this morning and went home early. | ||

| Race race 37:51 [3]* 5.19 mi (7:17 / mi) +145m 4:10 / km | |
| ahr:170 max:178 shoes: New Nikes | ||
| Ran Leg 28 in The Relay (Los Altos to Cupertino). Felt rather OK, as far as neural issues. But slowed down quite a bit, especially on the uphills; didn't push it, but didn't know if I could push it, period. Roadkills: +13 / −0.
7:05 6:58 7:16 7:41 7:36 1:15. The altimeter gave 120 m climb but the USGS, more like 150; the temperature was rapidly rising, and so must have been the pressure, so this explains the low climb reading. | ||
