sorry to miss one of the best meets of the year, but decided to sit out rather than risk getting other people sick and running it into the ground.

biking 1:05:00
great weather - why would anyone want to drive a car at all, unless it was really really the only way?
whole foods run - feeling a bit run down, so took it easy.

down to Cliff Cave and back. What a day! Felt like I was coming down with something but buzzed and enduring at the same time.
Wall to wall cars on Telegraph but rode on the windward side of the road both ways.

running/map reading 1:10:00
pre-run of cliff cave course, some walking in and out, and during to mark map. VERY green out there, literally and figuratively. Some of the map areas need to be deepened in green shading for deadfall/vine zones.
Satisfied with the course. Its kind of tough going at first and then opens up to more trail choices. It does help to pay attention to the vegetation on the map. I must say I never saw CC quite this way, seemed like a bigger park than it is:)

biking intervals 1:10:00
Started with 5 min warmup, then 6-7 'windsprints' up a hill, like 200's, then cooldown.
Then rode 'long way' (still on the way tho) to nursing home and back. At first, those sprints took a big bite out of my legs, but later a little rest and a gorgeous morning conspired for a great bit of riding.

running/map reading 50:00 [3]
Ran to wilmore park etc. reading S_F map. Never really had done this before, but it is helpful. Something I learned on AP! Need to concentrate on scale, not so much even pace counting as thinking this smidgeon on the map is 100 meters, about a football field. Football fields seem to be a good unit of measure for me.

running/map reading 50:00 [2]
Drew convoluted loops on Wilmore Park map and concentrated on following line, but then got distracted by 'garbage O', picking up recyclable trash and running it to the recycling bins. Running anyway, why not accomplish something (however tiny and meaningless) at the same time.
Connective stuff at hip/glute hurt, but tried to be conscious of it, relax and toughen it at the same time. Ok, i don't have a clue.

biking intervals 1:30:00
to Jefferson Baracks, 3 laps w/ 3-4 minutes easy in between. 7:30, 7:11, 7:14. Faster than last time, because I went clockwise so all right turns, less wind, fewer intervals. Still not crazy fast, but better. about 21 mph, w/ some inclines that could almost be called hills except in west county.
Same workout i did the day before yesterday, only biking instead of running, and much more 'warmup/cooldown'.

Wow - that workout took me way by surprise! Knocked me out, even though it didn't feel so bad when i was doing it.

to easter vigil. only one out walking. its scary when i can distinguish myself and showcase my athletic superiority by walking a few blocks.
Oh, I guess we can run half-marathons and 5k's, but go more than a block in the hood without driving? Too difficult.

biking 1:19:00
5 lap intervals at Carondolet, 3 x 10:15. 10:30, 10:18. There was a huge gusting wind from the ne/nw/??? so I don't know what that did to my times. I know my limitations, but I think I'm latching on again - for an 'old man alone in the wind'.

running 46:00 [3]
27 and 19. plan was to take bus to nursing home, run back, but the connections aren't working well, the first bus was late and the second was already gone, leaving me way out of the way. (first run) Then the usual run from chippewa along the river des peres thru wilmore on the way back -faster.

biking 1:27:00
To Jefferson Barracks Park direct rout down Germania wcked fast w/ a huge tailwind, then 6 laps of park road, 7:12, 7:37, 7:37, 7:54, 7:57, 7:56.
Then back via grants trail and rez.
I think what this is telling me (the fact that I didn't go longer as i had planned) is that I am slowly developing some race bike fitness back, but not nearly enough for Herman in two weeks.
Also, this is telling me I belong on a bike board not an orienteering board!:)
NOTE: Some of the later intervals were slowed by having to wait at stop signs, so I wasn't tailing off that much, but still getting a rest.

to highway and back to catch ride to my club bike race. Drove a wheel truck, really interesting perspective for watching a bike race. I watched the 1.2.3. Pro Women run down large part of the races ahead of them. A large number of the women got shelled in the first half of the first lap, but then a lead pack of about 8 formed, and very methodically blasted out the miles. Going up a pretty tough hill out of town, I glanced at the speedometer and thery were going UP at 20 mph, I got well teary eyed.
