QOC Swanson Road Red. I did some course consulting for today's event. The course was straightforward, both technically and physically, and the running was very fast over open terrain, even through the light green parts. None of which prevented me from making a 3-minute mistake on the next-to-last control, attacked from near the water stop on the trail and expected to see the remnants of the old fence, but never did. In fact I had crossed it early and pushed on through the light green until I was no longer sure of my location. I went most of the way back before heading in the right direction, using the compass this time.

Red - Splits

Neighborhood loop at noon. 27 degrees and overcast.

Well, the 2 ultimate-playing daughters are home for winter break, so it's time for frisbee team exercises. Starting with Mei-An's team:

2 x {
30 squats
8 hamstring falls (nordic exercise)
20 single leg calf raises each side
20 clamshells each side
20 donkey kicks each side
20 fire hydrants each side
15 glute bridges
20 pushups
15 triceps dips
}

8 x abs exercises, 1 min each, continuous (no rest):
high flutter kicks
russian twists
plank
mountain climbers
bicycles
figure-8s
side plank
side plank other side

This was hard. I'm not too fond of the dips. And I failed in some of the abs and had to rest a bit.

Got a little window in between meetings, so I went for a run, even though I had trouble finding time for lunch afterwards. Goddard perimeter road, low 40s and sunny, and everyone else I saw was in shorts.

I didn't want to run in the morning because I had some stuff at work I really wanted to finish today, but I got it done and got home for an early evening run, pretty dark by the end. It may be the last good day for a while, we'll have to see.

And when I got back from the run I found my watch, right where it should have been all along, so I won't have to keep fudging the time.
