ROC Canoe-O from Ellison Wetlands - did the Foot-O version, which included a shuttle to the start at Tryon Park (I drove my own car over). None of the big locals were doing the foot-O, so despite being late for the mass start, I was quickly well out in front. Saw Joel coming into Ellison Park as I was leaving, and I had missed a control west of the creek, north of Browncroft (that, it turns out, I wasn't expected to get - it was a canoe control), so I took the 9 minutes to go back and get it, before heading back for the Wetlands controls. The remainder went pretty smoothly, but several of the trail intersections look different in real life than they do on the [very simple] map.

Splits (missed 2):
2:19, 4:43, 6:48, 11:47, 16:21,
19:13, 27:05, 30:40, 36:34, 47:44,
54:42, 59:18, 68:04, 71:07, 74:16,
77:02, 80:38, 87:24, 89:17

Ran back to my car after the finish.

Couldn't drag myself over to the pool today - yesterday's double took a lot out of me.

GTA with Scott, Frank, Erik, JV and Lawrence. A variety of surges as we ran over to the Lilac Festival area, around and back. They dropped me on the hardest surges, but I kept catching back up on their recoveries. They were dropping Scott sooner than me, so that was something.

Long trail set (live) by Fetch at Powder Mills. Included 2 beer stops and plenty of chances to run in the terrain.

Gorby left early with my car keys in his car (unbeknownst to him), so I got to do some additional jogging to stay warm until Chris could bring the spare key.

Mostly easy run up the river and back during the break in training. Did some random pickups along the way (100 steps here, 300 steps there).
Out Back
5:10 4:18 (to/from river)
8:13 7:44 (at old mile start)
6:03 5:57 (UR crosswalk)

Ran "course 2" at Webster Park backwards - after dropping Chelsea at soccer and before heading to Nate's band concert. Of course no one told me the concert was at Schroeder, not Spry.
Splits:
11, 3:12, 4:32,
13:29, 17:12, 18:56,
20:30, 22:23, 23:48

Intensity was 3.5.

Had time for 5 minutes before and after.

42 on the front - not bad for the first time out this year (especially when I was 1-over after 5). Of course, the 6 one-putts masked my pathetic work off the tee.

The powers that be seem to have massacred the 5th hole. All of the pines that served as the backdrop for this signature par-3 were removed, except 2 at each corner. Why don't they go ahead and fill in the donut-shaped bunker in front, to finish the mutilation. Here is what is used to look like: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&om=1&ll=43.157893,...
