Training Log Archive: cmorse

A good day. Looked at the map and decided to follow Balter up the hill instead. And #2. Another long leg to 3 and though I probably would have had no problem staying with Greg's posse, I wouldn't have maintained map contact to do so and thus felt it safer to let the train go, slow down and start navigating rather than getting spat out halfway without a clue. Shortly before #3 Nadim & Dave Onkst caught up. Would spend the rest of the day with Nadim and a short list of others through #8, then Nadim & I overshot 9 on the L got close to the steeps and corrected pretty quickly - the only major error of the day. Picked up Alex shortly after #10 and stayed as a loose group through #20, skipping #18 and taking the road downhill and cutting across the gorgeous woods below the hill into #19. Alex detoured to the pavilion leaving Nadim & I to finish the final loop by ourselves. I crashed on perfectly smooth trail to #22, rolled right through it but snapped the magnifier off my compass in the process (again). Detoured by horses between #23 & #24, then in. Nadim had a few strides on me by the time we hit the chute but waited at the finish punch so we could record the tie for first old guys. Such a gentleman...

C • My assumption is that Nadim... 3

Event: CSU Park-O 2: Mystic River
 

survived the 'circle of death' with no bruises... :-)

The usual Tuesday run w/ Ken. Pushed the top of the hill, accelerate over the top and down the grassy portion to dirt road.

The Monday curse strikes again. Oh well, gear is set aside for 5:30am hill repeats already...
