Went in to work late after "Freezing at Peewee Hockey" (but with no DD hot chocolate to take the edge off). Zach's Peewee Minor team led 1-0 after 1, but in the last 2 periods, 9 penalties were called on Z's team and zero on the other team, so they ended up losing, 3-1.

So, no time to work out at lunch and I had to hit the Bayview pool at 9pm.

Finally able to get my set of 100s back under 1:30!

Event: ROC - Ski-O at Mendon Ponds Park
 

ROC Score-O at Mendon Ponds. The Ski-O had to be canceled due to a lack of snow, but that didn't mean it wasn't winter, as the temp was about 15 degrees. So, I overdressed with long underwear under my sweatpants. Started out as a Micro-O of sorts, as the first 3 controls all had non-score-o controls to distract me. I knew to ignore the first 2, but after not finding the 3rd control, I went over to the wrong side of the trail to check the flag that I saw there. Went back and found C3, well beyond its mapped location. I passed Walt near C4, then leaving C8, I had a branch poke me in the gut. I think it was here that I lost my control card, since it was missing when I got to C9. I spent just over 4 minutes doubling back to C8 to look for it, then getting back near C9. The rest of the controls were rather trivial, I even ran with the map in my pocket for some stretches. I was not running very fast, though. I'm not sure what percent combination the main factors had (overdressed, constraining my leg movement; depressed about the lost card that took me out of the running; legs still heavy from Friday's workout). After punching C5, I had to go back and punch again at 3, 4, 2 and 1, losing over 7.5 minutes in the process (about 12 minutes overall - roughly my time behind Steve, Rob S and maybe someone else).

Very cold hash from Johnny's (which was closed). I arrived late, but so did 2 others, so we eventually tracked the pack down, despite the dearth of flour, just after their first stop. Then it was on to a very frigid stop near Tryon Park, which we did not enter, and a chilly run back into the wind to the start.

Minus-1 again, but this time my line got a goal.

During the training section, I found out that I cannot skate backwards with one leg.

Easy run from Village Sports in Fairport, during Luke's hockey practice. Did a loop of the Island Valley golf course, which turned out to be much less interesting than I expected, then Baird - Midvale - trail leading to Eyer Park, with a detour through some ATV trails, winding up at some sort of camp, out to Lincoln - 31F, then I still had some time to kill, so I cut thru Betty's old neighborhood - Jefferson - Perinton Park and back.

C • "some kind of camp" 1

Gerbil at Bayview after dropping Z off for soccer practice at 5. Warmed up first half from 7-7.5 mph, stayed there until the mile mark, then went up 0.1mph every 0.1 mile, until I was ready to be done, which turned out to be at the 3.25 mile mark, at 9.8mph. Eased up for a "lap", then mostly around 8.5 mph for the last half mile.

Then it was off to Chelsea's basketball game. They lost to Gates by 6 (it was 20 last time). Chelsea only played 18 minutes. It was 37-30 while she was in, 18-31 while she was out.

GTA with Erik, Vinnie, JV, DV, Jim O, G2, plus Michelle and Jane. Sue and Shannon ran the ladies route. I forgot to save the route in gmap, but we went down to Elmwood, then back up to Highland, over to Mt Hope - Gregory, wound around across Monroe - Harvard, then I turned on Rutgers - Monroe & in.

It looks like it was a very friendly 7:45 average to Highland, then I lost about 45 seconds by South Ave, while I averaged 7:25. They let me catch back up on Mt Hope, then took off again, while I could do no better than 7:20 pace. I lost sight of them on Harvard, hence the turn on Rutgers, while they apparently went all the way to Culver.

Only 3 more GTA runs before I start the Spring O season, and I have quite a gap to close.

Arms were feeling pretty heavy today, hence the slower times.

21 min Random Hills-14 @ 90 rpm
2 min w/dn
10 min Manual alternating 11/12
2 min w/dn

Intervals on Precor roughly 2min/2min
4/7 and 10/10 were the settings (10/12 for the last 3 intervals)

Legs were a little heavy after today's workout, despite the relatively low hr during it.

East-Culver-Park. About 30 degrees, flurries and not too much wind, which was good since I went without a shell on top and managed some redness by the time I was done.

My time was limited, so I squeezed in some quick 3 min on / 3 min off tempo intervals, after warming up until East and Goodman. According to gmap, I covered the following distances for the on portions:
0.4245 (7:04 pace)
0.4355 (6:53)
0.4368 (6:52)
0.4517 (6:38)

My off portions averaged 9:19, a little slower than I thought. But I thought I was only going 7:00 for the faster sections, so it almost balanced out.
