Decided to take a day off (first of year!). Watched Nate run the 1000m at RIT. I suggested that he try to run 40 per lap for a 3:20. Instead, he went:
39.74, 40.37, 40.02, 40.59, 35.81! for a 3:16. He went from 2nd last in the early going to 3rd by the finish (out of 15 or so) - I think only JV kids (no modified) beat him. He couldn't rebound for the 600m (only 1500m racewalk was in between), so he ran the hurdles late.

Easy run up the river to UR crosswalk and back.
Out (21:27) Back (19:43)
5:43 4:53
9:12 8:34
6:31 6:15

Wore the Rio to ward off boredom.

8 of us at GTA this AM. The plows were nice enough to come around and scrape the roads to bare ice for us. I think Lawrence was the only fall, but there were several other nice saves. I lasted 20 minutes with the group, then faded rapidly.

Felt a little better in the water today. Took a little extra rest on the 100s, but did 8 of them.

On treadmill - 1/2 at 7mph, worked up to 8mph next mile, then 1.5 steady, and back down during last mile.
8:31,7:36,7:28,8:00

Random Hills - just level 11 coming right after the run - avg 95rpm to try to keep HR up.

M-H-G-C - easy run, splits:
10:01 - Good (8:38)
19:08 - High (8:17)
25:47 - Clint (8:25)
30:27 - Good (8:20)
36:12 - Clint (8:13)
In (8:23)


Saw the remnants of what looked like a pedestrian-struck accident running out Monroe (shortly after a woman would've pulled a right-on-red-without-looking if I hadn't yelled), then got back to the Y just as fire trucks were pulling up to an accident one block west. I'm sure this can all somehow be attributed to Global Warming.

General soreness limited my speed today. Can hockey really affect so many different areas of the body (e.g. arms, stomach)?

Met the GTA hockey squad for a workout at 6:30. We definitely need some more work before thinking about a league.

Did a training session that Tim put together - a fox and hound game where he set the course on the fly using custom "controls" and the rest of us ran it. He marked the next control location (UTM-ish coordinates) and description at each one. Went fairly well - one control was marked off by one grid box, but luckily he found us searching as he was setting another control. My non-spikes were: cutoff a trail too early because I misread a spur as a reentrant that I could avoid; did not have specific point on map identified for 7th control, and ran to an obvious (but incorrect) spur about 80m N of control location.

Jogged back thru terrain to look for Nate, Walt and Patty - missed Nate somehow.
