Mt. Tom A meet, Blue course (M21) just for the hell of it.
Had a good run, about as good as I can do. Pretty good routes, all good execution and no problems at controls. Just not running fast anymore, nor even walking fast up the hills. Downhill is still not so bad.... :-)
Real nice course by Phil, a lot of choices, including 2 legs, 11-12 and 18-19, where there were several possible routes none of which were appealing (that's a polite way of saying all of them sucked). I think my choice going to 12 wasn't the best, going around to the right was a little better. But going to 19 I think I had a good route, based on how far back I was behind the best guys. Although I don't think the differences were major, more important was just making sure you executed your route efficiently.
Real nice day for running, around 50, no sun (sun this time of year when it is low in the sky can be difficult when you are running into it), and the rain held off until late afternoon. And the forecast is for all the bad stuff, heavy rain, thunder, and strong winds, to pass through during the night and to be sunny and pleasant tomorrow. Keep the fingers crossed.
Legs felt pretty good!
My routes:
first part,
second part.
Oh, almost forgot, today's fall count -- PG 2, mom unknown. Just two is really really good for Mt. Tom. As Eddie said, must be the yoga.
Yesterday: 4/6 (yloc).
Today: had a really good ESC meeting, so fine to have Linda as chair and Lex as Team Administrator.
