Note

So I went to the NRE and had a super sucky first day, but bounced back with an adequate second day despite more mistakes than what I'm comfortable with admitting to, including perhaps the dumbest, worse mistake I've ever made on the second-to-last control. No joke it was so unbelievably bad I'm gonna have trouble falling asleep if it ever pops into my head at night. The optimist in me is excited that I was able to handle two consecutive blue longs and still have near full effort on both days, which is great. Knees are good but not perfect.

Missed the team call because of a 24 hour hike, which ended 30 minutes before the call (I fell asleep immediately after). We went 24 hours and like 10 minutes, covered just under 52 miles, and walked completely along the Finger Lakes Trail. Some of the blazes at the 3-4AM section were completely missing, which was fun. Here's a link to some photos for everyone's enjoyment. I look like a straight marshmallow in some of these, but it got so cold so who cares.

I'm not going to update the log retroactively but I think I've put in plenty of hours in the last almost two weeks. Fencing is now just fencing and no drills, and I've been having plenty of fun with that. Maybe 30% chance that I'll try to do fencing after the class ends, but if the next couple days are really fun I'll do it for sure. I haven't been rollerblading at all since my last log entry, but to be fair it's currently snowing as I write this.

This weekend I'll be going somewhere in NE probably with some friends and we're planning on doing a bunch of crazy hikes, though as it's snowing right now they'll probably be less crazy hikes because we're reading recent reviews of the ones we were looking at and they were written like WWII stories.

Thanks everyone for periodically checking in here. Even just seeing that a few eyes look over the log keeps me motivated to stay on top of things, but every once in a while I like to take a break just to do me and not worry about what I'm outwardly looking like. Starting tomorrow, I'll start uploading my runs and workouts again, though I'm not 100% I'll be running tomorrow as it stands now with the weekend plans. We'll see.
