Warm up/down.

Raven Rock Blue (1:15, 8.2K, 2.8%, even thicker than yesterday). Forwarned is forearmed. I didn't even bother reading the vegetation on the map. I just pretened the whole map was medium green and ran trails whenever possible. It worked pretty well. Third on the day moved me up to fifth overall (of 11). ST=377/564.

Warmup/down.

Raven Rock Blue (1:15, 8.6K, 3.2%, absurdly slow going). This map sucks! I can't believe they used it for an A-meet. What's even more amazing is that this is the second time they've used it. Of course, maybe it was OK two years ago and they've really had that much new deadfall in two years. Anyway, trying to use the map to navigate around the deadfall (which was recommended in the course notes, mind you) was an exercise in futility. Finished 7th of 11 on blue. ST=362/549.

Control picking in Bond Park (BOK, 1:5). Was very comfortable with the map, which made me happy since it was made by George Kuntsevitch, who also made the Raven Rock map. If I only knew then what I know now... ST=377/564.

6x400@88 300 recovery (yes, the track by my house is 350 meters around). Light interval workout to keep the blood moving for this weekend. Off to North Carolina tomorrow. Despite growing up on the east coast, I've never been there.

Yeah, I know, what kind of idiot starts riding rollers in March?

Jog over to gym (1 mi) and 1 moderate set (12 reps) of upper & lower work.
