Control pickup. 8 controls just off the road north of the creek. Then loaded up the meet kit and controls, and took it all over to Dave & Heidi's for the Bumble next week. Little Bennett got a lot more snow than Greenbelt.

Complete exhaustion after dinner tonight, slept about 11 hours.

Event: QOC Greenbelt
 

O in the Snow, at Greenbelt Park. I signed up for Red but backed off to Green on account of the conditions. It turned out the snow wasn't too deep, but it slowed things down in places. I made a massive error on the short leg to 2, passing the little ravine on the uphill side, missing it entirely. I admit it, I was following some big tracks and they led me astray. But then I came into 3 from the exit side, and easily followed the tracks in to that one, so a little payback.

I kept up good speed for the conditions, took roads and trails wherever possible, and ended up with a pretty good time.

Green - Splits

Same again. Had to read the first section of the paper before talking myself into the workout.

Pushups, plank, wall sit, squats, lunges, figure-8s.

Things are finally getting back to normal. I fell on some ice at the end of our driveway (shoveling snow, of course) and banged up my ribs on one side. It may be a few days before I feel like running again. But of all the exercises in this circuit, only the lunges brought the side muscles into play where the sore ribs are.
