To Post Office and beyond. Didn't push the pace too much.

The large tree trunks that were deposited at the bridge a couple months ago are still there. It will be interesting to see how they affect/change water flow over the summer.

There was a fellow fishing in the creek -- great day for fishing! Much better than opening day (April 1). :-)

Extra sleeping felt really good; my cold is feeling a bit better.

IQF-spring Apr 8-10 in Cincinnati (?)

Maybe a rest day, though I'll see how my legs feel later (just tired from yesterday) -- maybe another walk or hike as the weather is looking fine again. Love to see the sun!

We used the exercise balls today. I got there early enough to not get stuck with a huge one. A few weight (arm) exercises were also tossed into the mix.

Feeling a bit sluggish from a head cold that hit yestermorn, so didn't do elliptical or treadmill (or the track). But the sun's out so I intend to do a long walk/hike later.

A fairly low-exertion row to work the shoulders. And 8 x 62.5 lb pulldowns (I managed 12 on Tuesday).

Hope the cold doesn't hang around long.I want to enjoy this weekend's weather!

Around the long Riders Mills 'balloon' clockwise. (Note: no mills remain) Temp in the low 50s and sunny made it quite comfortable outside. Didn't push to max as still feeling out of sorts from my cold.

EDIT--added FR data.

Chatham; extra large (and noisy) class as one woman brought her teenage granddaughters (11-14-ish?) who chattered the entire time. Only a bit distracting, though. With only 16 steps available, the worry was there wouldn't be enough to go around, but the young-uns didn't use them.

Got out for a couple of hours of raking, dragging, and miscellaneous yard/garden cleanup so the jonquils and iris don't have to work so hard to get their heads up. Also worked on the piles of dirt and chunks of pavement (broken off the road shoulder) the plows had deposited. Only counting estimated 'heavy lifting' time. Right shoulder ached, but tried to ignore it.

I just entered Saturday's GPS track in OCIN's Route Gadget (Saturday's map), and realize that I aligned the route to #2 incorrectly. I don't know of any way to correct or delete bad routes. The drawn route is more correct than the GPS route in this case, if anyone is bothering to compare them.

C • Delete RG route 2

At the Y. She mixed it up this week--no tools today (planned for Thursday). Had to modify planks, mermaids (at least on my right side), anything involving holding myself us with upper body. (I have a ton of admiration for Sandy who can do beaucoup de pushups!) On the other hand, I was pleased I could do side lying leg work without supporting myself but just balancing on my hip. Yay strong core.

Twenty minutes at level 3, which didn't feel so bad after having done a few sessions of level 2 the past few weeks. Max HR noted was 136 on one of the 'sprint'(?) sections (low resistance).

Concept 2 model 2--still haven't really figured out the screen so I ended up wih a 2000m time trial, I guess. Had to go to a different screen when I was done to get split times so I could add them up. I need to figure out how to get it to display distance rather than pace.
2:37.8 500m
2:40.9 1000m
2:43.5 1500m
2:41.7 2000m
23-24 stroke rate

Then 12 pull-downs at 62.5 lbs, and stretching.

In Chatham. Did a plank, and shoulder aches more than usual; perhaps from the fall I took on Saturday. Time for more pull-downs and erging?

Event: CSU Rocky Woods
 

Another decent race, with only a few controls where I wasn't quite on line; but I was never confused. Took the time to slow down or even stop at trail junctions (there were a LOT of trails) to be sure I was going the right way. Second F55 again.

Added FR track; FR data -- 4.432 km, 55m climb

Tons of trails and light green on the way to 1; I bobbled my attack point a little (trail bend; there were unmapped trails and junctions) but recovered quickly for little time lost. Other runners were leaving the same way I approached, which was from the reentrant just NW. I didn't talk to Natalia, but this control was where she lost the most time (8:33 vs my 3:31 which should have been closer to 3:00; fastest split was 2:23).

4th of 24+ on Brown. I like ending weekends with two good/consistent days of navigation.

EDIT--added track to OCIN's Route Gadget

C • nice race 4
