Event: 2016 US Two-Day Classic Championships and Sprint Relay
 

Saturday - Brown X - Splits

The usual weekly accumulation of morning exercises: stretching, strength and balance. Tapered off on the latter two starting around Sunday; last couple of days it was only stretching.

Classic Champs Model Event, at Westmoreland Sanctuary (near Mt. Kisko, NY). Mostly helping Louise. Did walk one leg, #9, pretty fast and though it was complex, it was quite do-able.

Toes pretty sore from the downhills, so decide I will wear the Salomons for tomorrow's race (which worked out well).

Left home early in the morning for the flight to Newark, followed by a rather stressful drive to Mt. Kisko.

Front of house, 2.5 loops. Sunny and cool. Did some extra exercises to warm up my knees beforehand, but they were still pretty creaky beforehand. Felt pretty decent by the end.

612, 536, 230

Last lap in 523.

Cool down.

Physical therapy at Kevin's. All massage and stretching. Worked a good deal on my sore lower left back.

Louise and I walked down towards Mackenzie's. Short walk at a modest pace, but a big hill.

Brief session to do a little glut activation.

Lake Ranch Reservoir. We woke up late, then decided it would be nice to get our run in early in the day, so went to the lake before breakfast. Started running about 8:25. Was hoping for a very easy run. My knees felt better than they have in a couple of weeks. Louise was running a bit faster than usual, my knees started hurting on the downhills, so started throttling back after the turn around, then stopped with a half-mile to go, using the last half mile as a cool down.
