Interesting story about doping

C • meldonium 9

No training, but I did some organizing for Saturday's "adventure race" at Milford. Sandy came by with her new bike rack and we got both bikes on it, so that's one less thing to do early Saturday morning.

Jogging on West Campus. I felt pretty good. I took a short stop at the cemetery to look at graves.

Walk To Work Tuesday.

A bit over an hour each way, with just a few drops of rain each way.

Podcasts on the walk were Skidskyttepodden and Generation Anthropocene

I saw 8 deer on the last bit on West Campus.

MTB on the river trial.

I felt strange most of the day at work. Just not feeling right and having a hard time concentrating. I started feeling a bit better around 4 p.m. and decided a little river trail ride would be worth a try. It was and I'm glad I went.

A bit of my bike fell off during the ride. There is (or was) a little plastic shield on the outside of the chain ring. I don't think it serves any useful purpose. It definitely made it harder to clean stuff off the chain ring.

Trails at Rockcrusher and a little bit in the terrain.

Temps were warm (low 70s) and the sun was out. It felt hot. The wind helped, I guess. It was quite windy. We were lucky we didn't hold the event today as the dust from the gravel road at the start/finish/registration area was a pain.

MTB on the river trail. I tested out a bit of stuff that I'll need for next weekend's adventure race at Milford - map board and Camelbak. both worked fine.

There were a lot of cars at the trail head, but I didn't really see many people out on the trails.

Things are really dry. Parts of the trail are getting sandy that don't usually get sandy. I think there's a chance of rain tonight. That'd be good.

Jogging around to put out controls for today's event at Rockcrusher.

The event seemed to go well. The weather was a bit warm for running, but nice for organizing. We had our usual turnout (29 starts with about 40 people). Two of the starts (and 5 of the people) were from the Wednesday night Ad Astra clinic.

I had a bunch of help from Blair, Mary, Gene, and Paul.

Work commute with an extra trip to get the maps for tomorrow's Rockcrusher orienteering. I hope we get a good turnout. I hope we don't get more people than we have maps.
