Thank goodness for no snow. The ski-o at Oatka Creek park was replaced by a score-o. There were 3 obvious easy controls (1-7-2) to do first, involving mostly trail running, to allow time to figure out the rest of the course. But I failed to take a right on the main trail in the woods, and went straight instead. Gee this first control is coming up 50m early - no, it's a different code, must be a white course today as well? So, run along past the control until I realize "hey, that's the code for control 5! I'm going west, not north". I recover, but don't have a master plan - just take it control-by-control, until that means that I try to visit control 8 for a second time! Those two big mistakes probably cost me 5 minutes, but I still come in as the clubhouse leader, until Tim comes in 12 minutes quicker!

Nate had a nice run, finishing in 51 minutes by avoiding any big mistakes.

Easy run with an old map - ended up being shorter than planned after I was hit by a car just before the mile mark. Loser was going right on red (apparently without looking right), but didn't have a gap, so I thought I was good-to-go with the "walk" signal lit and all. Wrong! He decides to pull out (part way?) for some reason - I see him, and put my hands out to roll up on his hood, but, with the rain, the gloves were too slippery, and he caught me in the hip, and down I went. I was able to pick myself up and walk it off, before carrying on with the run - just a little sore (nothing compared to recent injuries). Somehow I had managed to stop my watch while still on the ground - must be a seriously ingrained reflex.

1 circuit

Level-12 random hills - 90rpm

Chelsea doing 25 pushups shamed me into adding to my workout repertoire...
17, 13 pushups
25, 25 situps

Ran "part II" of the Webster Park permanent course with the new Garmin toy. Trails were ice in several places.

Extra running afterwards near lake.

Ran on the Ellison Wetlands map with Nate - went to some 2004 Canoe-O controls wearing my new Garmin GPS toy! I think we botched 1 control badly, but I have to figure out how to download our track to verify.
