West Point Day 2 - Green. A little cleaner than Saturday. Went way around to get down the hill from #7; never saw the trail that apparently was visible from the control and the steepness scared me.

Event: West Point A-Meet
 

Green course. A few small errors - more than I would have liked given my pace - but nothing disastrous. Only running I managed was on the trail from 6 to 7 and then at the very end.

TNT - nice easy jog (in deference to WP) on my own at Tyler. Very pleasant.

Met up with Eric on my way back to the cars and we walked another big loop in Tyler

I & I and more consistent stretching seem to be working. Good knee is almost back to good; bad knee is almost back to it's normal state.

The I&I (ice and ibuprofen) approach seems to be better than my strategy of denial. We'll how it works in the long term.

Insisted that everyone else go on ahead without me so that I didn't feel pressured to keep up. I walked the short road section and then jogged very slowly down the hill to the drive. Did 3 miles on the drive at a very comfortable, not pushing at all pace, which turned out to be 10:30. Stretched a bit while waiting for everyone else and then walked back up the hill and home. (Time includes all the walking and stretching - for me, it's part of the workout.)

Iced both knees and took ibuprofen after getting home. Let others to the cooking!
