Event: WCOC - Sessions Woods
 

Ran the red course at Sessions Woods...... did good but for 2 little goofs and one big one.... But I felt I was in control on the whole run and I knew right away when I goofed and relo-ed fast... I felt like I could read the map and have it match the ground...... the goofs came at the end when I was tired just like out at Buffalo... I have to slow down and think more when tired and not just run blind.... I lost a good 8 minutes,,,, on 16 and 17 I went to left of the bag.... knew right away and headed to right and found the bag right where it should be... I seem to be heading left alot... I will have to fix this...... then saw someone on my tail from 21 to 22 and pushed the pace and took the wrong trail... and lost a ton of time..... and ran an extra 800 m. I should have back tracked and I would have cut the lost time in half but I thought I could cut through the jungle WRONG !!!
so what should have been a great run was lost..... but nice course thanks George and Lynn..... *** I now only have 1,976 controls to find *** George...

hiked the south end of my section of the Mohawk Trail..... wanted to ck how bad Irene messed up the trail... did brushing and clearing of blow downs as I went..... I will have to go back nest week and ck the North sec... and then relo. the trail around or clear two big blow downs when I have a chain saw with me.... Trail was in better shape then I thought it would be.... people can go around the blow downs so the trail is open....

Red - Splits

Ran over to Ike park and around the trails..... what trails... half washed out or full of down trees..... spent most of the time going over-under-around stuff....... The park will never be ready for H.S. XC season.... Quads sore as hell..... but I got the work in....

Did speed work on the track at Platt Tech. ....one mile warm up/down
8x200 and 2x400 .... warm up was great but on the first turn both Quads locked up and were sore as hell.... I was able to run through this but has to slow the pace.... this is a first for me .... never had an issue with them before.... could they still be sore from last weeks workout.... didn't feel sore or tight until I started to pick up the pace..... But I am glad I got the work in even if the pace was slower then I wanted.... now just hope things are better next week....
