Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2011
 

Green Y course (F50), day 1 at Georgia Navigator Cup where there was a nice turnout for the SE interscholastics but not much else; 3 F50s registered, only 2 ran; one F45, and an F-20 were all the women on Green Y. The older men also ran Green Y with fastest time turned in by Tim Parson, around 48 min.

Monday update: added track -- FR registered 6.621 km, 172 m climb

(Hard to do a longer-than-five-lines entry on the iPod.) I felt like a slug on the uphills (and we get more tomorrow!), and didn't have quite the right attackpoint to 4, but recovered after going far enough and realizing I had to correct to the right. Mapping a bit flaky in a couple of areas but I didn't let it bother me. Road routes to 5 and 6. Saw Charlie Bleau (meet registrar) out there a few times at controls but thought he could've been on a different Green (he wasn't). Nice bright red shirt helped a bit at 5.

Very warm (80, with a nearly-noon start). FR track later...

2nd of the 4 women (Meg Parson did about 61 min) on the course. Supposed to be cooler tomorrow (I can only hope), and earlier starts by about 2 hours.

Green Y day 1 - Splits

Weight on rebound. Last night's lasagna didn't help. Ah, well.

Pilates, using rings to really work the hips.

Level 2 program this time; resistance varied between '5' and '15'. Sped up when at 5, a bit slower on 15; went 'farther' than last time, 1.78 mi. MHR noted was 140.

And again on the erg machine. I watched the 'how to do it' video on the concept II website last night and learned I wasn't finishing the stroke by leaning back at the extension. Went farther in the same time as Tuesday, and with a lower stroke rate (25-26/min). Damper set at 6.

1000m in 6:33

Chatham class. My exercise buddy (lady I usually stand near, and chat with), turns 80 tomorrow. :-)

After a cool, damp morning, the sun started to come out and warm the ground. This photo also shows the little bit of snow that remains in the field behind us.

C • March 3

Temp around 50 and partly sunny -- how could I resist?

Hamstring achy after first mile, but tolerable. Stopped about halfway to stretch and had a hard time restarting.

Yo-yo weight up again. Ugh.

Only weights today, but enough down-dogs on hands/knees that right shoulder started bothering again. Made sure to do pull-downs later.

Tried out level 3, which was rather harder than level 1. Will try 2 next time. ;-). MHR noted was 127. Distance calculated was 1.64, a bit less than on Thursday for the same time (but this was harder and knees were ready to complain). Feet didn't really like this--tinglyness on the bottoms (autocorrect wanted to put 'gunfighter' for tinglyness!).

After erging (see next) did adductors and pull downs before stretching.

1500m, damper set at 5
1000m time was 6:55, so it looks like I picked it up a little in the last 500. Tried to make sure I did a complete stroke. I'm limited in how far forward I can reach both by arm length and how 'folded over' I can get.

In Chatham. Snow flurries this morning, but nothing's sticking. This weekend should be better. ;-)

Got to be late so not enough sleep. Body tired and a bit sore, so will wait until tomorrow to exercise.

Took half the day to remember how I got the bruise under my right knee (fortunately lower down on the shin than previous injury). This one shouldn't last long.

Also, pleased with weight...for today (after a spike yesterday).
