weight:176lbs shoes: Hoka Pokey
Ah, new shoes...I guess it was about time. Didn't solve the ugh slug lump feeling, but I was outside enjoying the sunshine, so it was good.
I tried to let my hair grow out, but I couldn't stand the mess...
Not drastically short though...

Biking 1:50:00 [3] 20.75 mi (5:18 / mi)
weight:177lbs
With the rain gone for the day, and temps near 70, I figured I better ride today, despite the 20-25 mph winds. I am not going to let some measly winds push me around, am I!? Shorts and short sleeve were perfect. I didn't look nearly as silly as the guy in full wind outfit, neck cover, etc. Dude! 70 degrees! How do you manage in the cold?!
The same loop as March 31, except in the reverse order. Going downhill on the Custis Trail portion was much more fun. Then I hit the Mount Vernon Trail...if ever I could have used a tow, this was the time. About 7 miles of major head and side wind. Especially brutal along the airport portion, made worse after a plane flew in for landing. Feels like a whoosh, and I felt like I was being pushed backward! Is that even possible?
When I thought it couldn't get any worse, I hit the straight away along the train tracks and felt like I was going backwards again. Pushed around but not deseated, so I eventually made it back to the start, and it was a fine day for a ride.

Event: QOC Clopper Lake
10 AM
Orienteering race (Clipper Lake - Green) 1:31:07 [3] 6.0 km (15:11 / km) +205m 12:58 / km
weight:176lbs
Garmin - 4.78 miles with 158m climb.
Advanced course with some actual climb! So very happy with this effort despite the booboos. Parallel error going into 5 and visited every tree looking for the last control, or so it seemed. Clumped close enough to the other ladies. A good effort. And, so close to 15 minutes per k. Woohoo!

Swimming 1:00:00 [1]
First 400 yards as a time trial - 7:40. Very happy with this.
After I recovered from that, I did the 50 fast and 100 easy until the first 30 minutes were up. Then I concentrated on just keeping good form and even breathing the second 30 minutes.
