Note

Spent all day yesterday working on course design for the WPOC 2011 A-event day 2. The preliminary courses are done and shipped off to Jim Wolfe for review. Hopefully major changes won't be required. It is a very challenging area for course setting - a big lake, road crossing issues, beach, campground, some areas of thick vegetation.

Had hoped to do a long run this weekend but the knee is stiff again. This is the same tendonitis issue I had in my right knee 2 years ago. That took 4 months to resolve. It's not (yet) as bad in the left knee but I still think the best course of action is to lay off it completely for 2-3 weeks. That means no Caesar Rodney and likely no Mudfest. I'm kicking myself for doing that long run a few weeks ago after the snow layoff. I take back any good things I said about the winter of 2010.

Road Run 41:00 [4] 5.5 mi (7:27 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10

From the Y to Tower Hill including the loop around the school campus. Wore shorts for the first time since last fall. A little blustery but not too bad. This qualifies as a quasi tempo run fueled by caffeine and adrenaline. My corn cobs --> ethanol project is winding down and I've started working on another large project. The design is ~half finished and I was brought on to "help." What I find though is the thing is headed for a massive train wreck and they want me to bail them out. Was lying awake at 4 am last night trying to figure out how to accomplish the impossible. Nothing like jumping on a sinking ship...
