Wow, this was a close call. It was about 5:00. I had just entered my training from earlier in the day, and was preparing to make dinner. I needed a quick dinner, because I was planning to meet Sandy at 6:30 for a movie.
Something made me look at my training log for the week. Wait, did I orienteer this week?? No I had not! Mike kindly agreed to draw me some courses on his mini-map of Pioneer Cemetery, and I drove up there to run three short sprints.
Made it back with just enough time to cook, eat and meet Sandy. And I kept my streak alive!

Nice evening ride with Mike to Culvers for dinner (and back). Hot out there, but this was needed after a stressful few days at work.

Time for my annual "unusual sport" class. This year, it is Pound!

It's just the latest aerobics fad, but it is fun. And tiring. And I'm happy to have a excuse to exercise indoors this summer.

KC Corporate Challenge 100m
17.177 seconds
8th/60 F50
Temp was hot (30c) and there was a headwind. But I warmed up well and was excited to race. This year, for a change, I was in the second-to-the-last heat, instead of the last. I felt like the start was a bit rough, but I was obviously ahead of everyone else. About halfway, I noticed the woman in the lane to my right had caught up to me. This was fun, exciting and motivating. We were side-by-side for the rest of the race, and crossed the line in a photo finish. Good thing I was wearing my OK jersey, much more visible :) It was a fun and hard race.
I stayed around to wait for results, and to cheer on my co-workers in their races. I also ran into Pete Gogol (Madeline was competing). It was good to see him and catch up.
I was pleased with my time of 17.177, which is my fastest for this event. I placed 8th, which met my goal of top 10, and also earned me "medal points" (which goes down to 8th place). I was also first in division F, so altogether, I earned a lot of points for my company. It was not my highest placing in my age class; it's hard to predict who will show up. This year's F50 winner ran 15.154, wow!!!
My OK jersey came through for me: I won my heat! I was 17.177, second place was 17.194. This is the first time I won a 100 meter heat. Woo hoo!

Mike and I explored some new bike paths. Had to turn around near Broken Arrow because the creek had flooded the path. We did a loop today (mostly) which was nicer than my usual out and back.
