Event: HVO Blue Mountain Reservation
 

Red course at Blue Mountain, Peekskill. Had the opportunity to drop a loop after the water control (green course) but felt good then so continued, for the practice. I'm slow in this terrain (rocks, lots of downed trees) but that let me keep track of where I was for the most part. Didn't think I'd gone far enough at 2 but saw a bag and figure I'd check it--yup, mine. Other non-spike was 10, where I had to drop a contour or so to it once I checked the wrong dot knoll, but I didn't lose too much time there.

Open woods for the most part, but the rocks and downed trees certainly slowed you down here (as expected, really). Very nice course by Dave W. Temp in the mid 50s with sun trying to come out. 6.1 km SL, 200m climb.

One fall, on a trail, where I caught my toe on a rock and landed on my left knee. Slow to get going again. Only other person I saw on the extra loop was Daniel S, who was daring enough to cross a reentrant/marsh between 7 and 8 on a wide log; I was scared of the 6-8' drop and went around. :-)

Red - Splits

No tools; a minute of bicep curls near the end and a bit of hamstring lift with light weight from hands and knees (is there a name for that?).

I've been avoiding down dogs, planks, and anything else that has me up on my forefoot, to try to quiet down my right foot problems. Hope it works.

Aborted attempt at elliptical. Left(!) foot was the culprit this time.

Pulldowns and adductors before leaving the Y. If weather cooperates will attempt a walk outside later.

MB church and back (my typical quick-and-easy walk).

Using exercise balls. Mine was a bit squishier than usual so when we did a few weight exercises sitting on the ball I almost fell off before getting balanced.

Hill interval level 4. 1.05 miles in the first 25 minutes, then 0.11 on the 2-minute cooldown.

500m

Then adductors, pulldowns, and leg presses.

Added Garmin tracks for the three races this past weekend (didn't use the watch for my warm ups). It recorded 232m climb on the Long course, but I only counted 150 using the map. Interesting.

C • climb 8

Make-up session (during a scheduled break week) because instructor was sick. Lots of people there of all ability levels made it interesting to say the least. Tweaked my unsupported right PF doing side squats. More icing needed today (iced before class because both heels were sore this morning). :(

HB to Glen! ;-)

Middle at Ransburg Scout Reservation south of Bloomington. No rain, temps in the 60s and dry--just awesome weather! Start and finsh within view of each other. Good course, no problems (except physically with a couple of steep-ish hill climbs including one steep enough I had my hands on the ground ahead of me). Glen passed me in the run in from the last control. Finished behind Janet F today (4 minutes) which was due to her faster overall speed and strength on the hills. Good course and a great weekend with basically no errors. Now I just need to work on getting in better shape.

Posted stats: Straight line 2.6km, 160m climb
