Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2016
 

Day 1 of the Georgia Navigator. I had a very difficult time sleeping last night--anxiety about the race? I feel a lot better now. I messed up on 5--counted reentrants incorrectly and didn't go far enough. Once I had figured out that problem, II found the control easily. The worst mistake was on 6. When I got to the stream, I went left and should have gone right. I spent a lot of time walking upstream, before turning back. Took a little too long going to 7, but that was just because of the vegetation. Tomorrow is a little longer, but less climb.

Brown - Splits

Two of the rounds included plank-ups--not a favorite of mine. I substituted plank spidermans for the plank jacks, and that worked out well.

Workout with Jared. He was tough tonight, trying to get me ready for the Navigator Cup. I got to do a bunch of walks up and down the ramp carrying 40 lbs of weights, also lots of balance stuff, and heavy on the ropes. And I also pushed the sled.

Tough workout today. My legs got sore on the last round, which is unusual--usually it's my arms, shoulders, and back that get sore. I was really glad to stop doing scissor kicks and v-ups and get in plank position for the last 30 seconds.

Really pretty hard today, with plank stuff and Russian twists, and V-ups. Lots of core work while holding medicine balls or weights.

Stopped at Watkins Mill after going to the bank. It was cold and very windy, so we went counter-clockwise. Elray was not on her best behavior. Besides gaggles of geese, we saw about a dozen swans on the other side of the lake.

Restorative.

Registration at the annual Shawnee Mission Park Score-O. Really cold, single digits through most of the time. When we got up to about 16, it almost felt warm. I was wearing lots of clothes, so the only things really frozen were my hands (even with Hot Hands in my pockets) and my legs got cold from not moving much with them under the picnic table. We had a good turnout for the weather.
