ROC Trail Challenge at Seneca Park
Repeat of a previous course is better than no meet for sure! I think this may gave been backwards of last time, or perhaps some other change, because it was familiar, and not.
The pre-race was a mess, starting with leaving work late. I won't go into all the details, but I got off 104 on the wrong side of the river, and then forgot my glasses before the start (so I didn't hear that we were supposed to punch the start). And by the time I finished the race, I still didn't know the map scale (it said 1:5, but it turns out it was 1:10).
I went bushwhacking on the way to C8 because I thought I had gone too far, then I went by it without seeing it, so Steve and Dick pulled away and Stina got by me. I slowly closed the gap on Stina, as we gradually gained on Dick. With about 3 controls left, Stina let me go ahead entering the woods after crossing the road, then Dick was too far left, so I got to C17 ahead of them. At C18, Zak came from the other direction ahead of us, for some reason, and I caught him going to C19, but couldn't keep up.

Control pick-up. Zach got the 5 farthest controls.

If this looks a little slow for biking, it's because I had bike trouble - probably something with the rear derailleur - and I had to walk it back home.

Still worn out from the weekend, so a little slow, but not too bad.

Wasn't feeling too bad after yesterday's workout, so I decided to push my luck and head to the track for some intervals. The only sensible workout was 8x400 at I (not R) with 200 recovery, which I did as 1/3 walk, 1/3 jog, 1/3 walk. Goal was to be not much over 2 minutes, but I did better than that:
1:58.94
1:55.60
1:54.66

1:55.04
1:54.20

Since it was raining this AM, I decided to try out the group cycle class at Bayview. It was a tough session, with the hardest part being the standing sections. To be stable, I had to gear up quite a bit. Obviously still too weak in whatever muscles are used to stabilize, and I had to break down and sit a couple of times.
