Event: 2013 IS IC Championships
 

Messed up near the end, drifting way right. Figured out what I must have done when things didn't make sense but was still hesitant while correcting. Was really surprised about how far right I was. Then must have been getting tired because I really lost focus on the last few controls and made some more small errors.

But, knee felt okay on the course and I ran maybe 30-40% of it - hard to know for sure but certainly more than recent efforts. So feeling good that the training is paying off.

5th for the day in F50+ which was the largest age class for women this weekend outside of the IS classes.

Day 1 - Green Y - Splits

In Kansas to help Valerie with results.

Model event shenanigans. Hiked most of it, did a little jogging.

Tough workout last night. Probably still a bit dehydrated.

Got out late so nice and sunny, but the wind was still pretty intense.

All my crocuses are in full bloom this morning.

TNT - an interval workout with Sandy. 3 x 1200m tempo, 2 1/2 min recovery followed by 3 x 200m fast, 200m slow.

Here's the mile pace on the 200's:
1: 10:34; 15:19
2. 10:31; 14:47
3. 11:07; 14:08
We sure know how to jog slowly for the recovery!

The 1200's were on her watch, the 200's on mine. I just figured out how to download the whole workout onto my watch. Next time.

Jim, Bob and Karl also there. Great minestrone afterwards.

I am on a roll! Found a dress for Scott's wedding. It fits great but wouldn't have a few weeks ago, so real incentive to stick to the new eating routine.

Yoga class.

Very windy. Worked up a sweat on the hill but froze up as soon as I was out of the trees.

Didn't weigh myself this morning - didn't want to know. Couldn't stop myself from snacking last night. Phooey.

I don't feel sick but I did feel very, very lethargic yesterday and not particularly peppy today.

Hiked pretty slowly at HR. It felt really cold when I got there so wore my heavy down jacket - but it was above freezing and I've gone in much lighter layers in those temps before and I didn't even break a sweat today. Again, don't feel at all sick, but it does seem odd. Hopefully I'm not going to get hit with something in the next couple of days.

Had a wonderful dinner with Dennis and Emily on the way home - went to a sushi place near them that was fantastic. It's Dennis' birthday - he's 25!

One more loop in the southeast corner.

And a loop in the north section.
