| Mt Norwottuck '02 Troll Cup Gr Y Day 2 - 70, sunny, humid in woods, mossies if stop. Had lots of trouble on this course back then so thought giving it another try to correct the flagrant errors. Was a bit slower w/o flags, esp when the control was on a boulder and there was one mapped among several. Ran it carefully trying to run trails and attack at the correct spot, not run trail and go off when it feels right like before. Seemed to work as on the two big booms last time, I took 5' off on one and 10' on the other. Did have a couple new bobbles this time of 1-2' but much better run. One of the bobbles (slight) involved trails to the east part that are surely off. Have had trouble there on every run in that area. Overall though 12' faster than '02 but still 14' slower the Tin Man from then. | ||
| Note | ||
| Had interesting wander through Industrial Revolution Holyoke on way up trying to figure way through. OK got lost! Not a good start to day but maybe that got it out of the system. Still had neat tour of the canal system and old factories. Must have been a booming place in its day. | ||

This was hard going. First had a funny tummy from either the heat or maybe bad milk with breakfast - ruined the tea!) and just never got comfortable. Almost quit at 3 but Lyn was game for the last -or have to come back again! Had dry heaves after the last. First two were same time as last year but then time was slower as opposed to faster last year. But wasn't as hot and had more people to key off then. HR went funny on several with average dropping way low. Time for new batteries? # Time AHR MHR Rcy time 1 5.10 161 165 3.48 2 5.16 168 167 3.41 3 5.23 169 176 3.39 4 5.21 (100) 172 HR obviously bad on last. Last year felt good and pulled a 5.00 on last. No chance today. But then felt good the rest of the day. Will see what tomorrow brings. | ||

| Ratlum Mt Sprint - Short - 85, humid. Pretty awful day; didn't really get focussed on the run. Had trouble with the map in parts and had big troubles on both sprints. Didn't slow down to focus on map detail. Problems with 2, 5, and 6. | ||

Saturday Jul 1 | ||
| Strength (Garden) 2:00:00 [1] | ||
| weight:150lbs | ||
| After cutting down some trees, spent good part of the day chipping the greenery of the trees plus rhodedenrens we are trying to push back to their areas. Then mowed some of the lawn while Lyn finished mulching the veggies with the rest of the old compost and leaf mulch. The leaf stuff was really soggy and hadn't broken down much at all. Usually turn this over at least once during the two year cycle but didn't get to it. So turned and mixed this lot and started on a bit of last year's. Then turned the new compost pile. Long day but should be good for a bit. | ||
Friday Jun 30 | ||
| Trail run 1:01:39 [1] 6.0 mi (10:16 / mi) | ||
| weight:150lbs shoes: DS Trainer X | ||
| Purple loop - 75, finally dry - humidity gone for a bit. Nice comfortable day for run, but pretty loggy feeling. Couldn't get going much so through in some strides on the flat/down section - 6 or 7x 20 paces hard/30 easy.
Flushed 3 turkeys in the initial field. They trotted along ahead of us until they got into the woods at the end and hunkered down. | ||
