Event: West Point A meet
O - competition race (West Point Green) 1:04:28 [5] 4.93 km (13:05 / km)
Good run until water stop in middle. Backhanded cup into trash and thumb compass went flying off my finger into woods. Had to search for it and cadet spotted where it went. Also couldn't find Go control hidden behind construction vehicle.
Bicycling (Harriman) 1:40:00 [3] 26.4 mi (3:47 / mi)
Bike ride with Bernie Bretton and Jim Mertz after o-meet. From Suffern to Sloatsburg, then up 7 Lakes Drive to Lake Welch Dr. Then across and down off plateau to 202 and back to Suffern. Good ride.

Note
Not time today for training, so dropped bike off at shop for 500 mi tuneup and to get aerobars installed.
Got home to find 3/4 of a turkey carcass in the back field -- actually just the head was missing. Looks like it got tackled by fox and the neck snapped off. They ran off with the wrong end, as what was left was at least 10#.
Get out the road kill cookbook!

Bicycling tempo (1/2 benchmark ride) 39:00 [3] 12.6 mi (3:06 / mi)
RAIN! Lousy weather, but got to train for this, too. Down in ok time (34:18), despite puddles and wet road. Blew rear tire about a mile into the return leg. Installed a new tube and that blew at the stem. So put a patch on the first tire and reinstalled it. Pumped it up, but couldn't get much pressure in it. Was about to try riding on a really soft tire, when an SUV stopped and offered help. Since I was drenched and just starting to go hypo, accepted the graciously offered ride home. Took a while under a hot shower to thaw out.
Action item: get a new pump.

O - competition race (Long O Champs) 1:28:56 [4] 8.4 km (10:35 / km) +270m 9:07 / km
Better race today. Liked map and course better. Moved steadily, no mistakes. Running speed a bit off due to lack of running. 3rd M-55
Bicycling 38:50 [3] 11.0 mi (3:32 / mi)
Same ride as yesterday. This time knew where I was going, and wasn't holding back for Long-O today. Very enjoyable ride. Some fast long downhills and of course one mean climb at the end.
Note
Serious bike mileage this coming week -- we'll see if the weather and schedule let me do it.
