DVOA local event - Ridley Long Courses

Fun day at Ridley which is highly unusual - not my favorite park. But I did Brown since it was only 5.1 and I wasn't prepared for any more. It was mostly a route choice course with a few pockets of detailed orienteering and Clem kept us out of most of the green. Messed up in a few places but overall a good enough run for first on Brown. Probably ran more than I have in weeks.

Knees pretty sore tonight but icing has helped.

Lots more sleeping today!

Skipped TNT last night which I haven't done before. I've missed it when I've had other obligations, but I've never skipped and not had something else to do. Fell asleep on the couch at 7, woke up at 8 and went to bed at 8:30 and woke up this morning at 7:30. I don't feel sick but I do feel exhausted.

Still pretty exhausted. And I'm having some sort of allergic reaction or other problem with my eyelids which is very annoying.

TNT - tried to run with Dasha but died after a mile and a half on the drive and so turned around. Walked and jogged home. A hot dinner waiting for us prepared by Sandy A was incredible! A biggish crowd: me, Sandy, Karl, Greg, Jim, Dasha and Clem.

The weekend took its toll. I was pretty tired and drained to start and the weekend just compounded things. My knees were pretty sore by the end since I didn't stretch and ice enough over the three days.
