I just learned that my cousin coaches Nathan Cohen, Olympic gold medal rower. Cool. Wonder if he has any tips for kayakers.

I just learned that my son is ranked 20th in the state for his age for XC. Cool.
Wonder if my cousin has any tips for runners.

Beautiful day out at Harders. Its t-shirt weather still. remind me of this day when July's heat comes along.

My legs are *still* tired. May be a two day recovery period next. Trying hard to listen to my body.

I learned today that my garmin loses 1/2 min mile on current speed in the trees. It read up to 11:15 when I know I was sub 10. How do I know? As soon as I was off the back path, it jumps back up consistently, even though the next bit includes a hill. It's not even a heavily wooded area. Wide road, with trees on each side.

To the Bayou. Almost got lost. Trusted my instincts which worked out fine.

My legs are still pretty tired from Saturday. My pace started with 10:30 but picked up a bit as I warmed up.

Sad thing, my ipod looks dead. It got wet on saturday. Unthinking, I plugged it in to charge. I looks like it's shorted out.

MC did his first morning conditioning run. He has sore toes. What would cause a third toe to be very painful on the underside?

I managed to figure my chip time from yesterday. Remember that fella from the start? I found his time. His chip and gun were 10 secs apart. That puts mine at 24:49. Still surprised that it was so hard. Garmin was started part way in and forgotten about at the end. Garmin says I went down to 7:29, 6:54 at the end, which explains the sore legs. Very uneven pacing.

I put on a game for the XC team today. Only one girl showed up. *sigh*
