Elliptical at the gym at work

Spinal injection at the L5 level. If this doesn't improve things, guessing that surgery may be the next option.

C • I should be more grateful to my back 1

Elliptical intervals at work, 4x4 minutes.

Got back from Charlotte early enough to be picked up at DCA by Alli, Inara, and Barnacle, and whisked away down to Occoquan for the QOC season opener. I had a coaching session with the juniors. We went over today's races and also analyzed potential route choices on maps from the Yukon. We also had a nice discussion of the season's goals, plans, and things to work on.

Some skills that were identified: compass work, relocation, orienteering at high speed, orienteering in technical terrain.

My hope for this year is to get the juniors up to Harriman (or similar) for a training camp for a couple of tense of intense technical orienteering.

We had a solid group: Diana, Alexis, Josh, Patrick, plus the seven juniors from FUMA. Sad to not have Turner and Sam in the area anymore, though.

C • juniors 6

A quick trip down to Charlotte amidst Hurricane Florence for Z-man's wedding. Lots of quality Balter time was had. Really fun, and great to see Z-man looking all happy and spiffy, and also busting out some sweet moves on the dancefloor.
