Event: DVOA Rutgers Ecological Preserve
 

At Rhonda and Charlie's, we had a bit of wake up yoga before breakfast which included homemade cinnamon rolls by Barb and Dave. Thanks to you all, but especially our gracious (as always) hosts the DeWeeses.

Event: WCOC RHINO at Ratlum Mountain
 

Event: JROTC NY/NJ
 

Brown course at Mountain Lakes in N Salem NY (JROTC meet), 3.8 km / 115m climb. About 40 and sunny, though it clouded up by the time we left. I'll take it for December, though. :-)

Others leaving the road on my attack for #3 distracted me (I should have stopped) and I climbed too high and found #4 first. After spending more time than I expected after leaving the road I had checked control codes in case I did see #4 first; then I just had to double back. No problems after that, beyond a thorn in my left heel that kept bothering me after my return to #4, until I sat down on the leg from 7-8 to deal with it...3 minute or so delay. Mistake at 3 and sit-down later cost me about 10 minutes.

1st on the course*, ahead of the 80 year old men. :-/

*When I left. Apparently someone else finished faster.

Picked up two controls near the start.

Short course at RHINO. I was just going to walk but when I saw others out there got competitive. Missed a turn to 8 and had to bounce back off the bigger trail.
Added: 1:5000 map, 1.9 km, 90m climb

Colder than earlier race, and dark, but rain held off until later. :-)

Leg 1 includes a stop at the car to get a windbreaker layer (my raincoat, which was useful Sunday morning) and put it on. I was surprised to have caught up to Lyn who had started several minutes earlier but it turns out she headed to 10 first instead of 1. Both were hilltops. :-(

SHORT - Splits

Brown - Splits

Balance

Shoulder PT

Focus was supposedly being "present" but the class involved a lot of side bends and stretches.

PT later wore out my shoulder. Uff (not painful, just tight).
