@ Wheaton

Brought Vince again and we had another gorgeous day. Since it was his first Orange and we were a bit early, we walked the first 2 controls with a compass, just to show him how off the trails he may go. He made it through the 6th control on Orange. I think he liked it? After he got lost, he said he had fun wandering around in the woods. I remember the first time I got lost on Orange, I was gripped with fear that I wouldn't find my way back to the car. I said - you weren't scared when you got lost? Nah - he answered, I could always see people and I had cell service. I volunteered for registration with Suzanne which was fun & indoors. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go on beige or brown, because I wouldn't be able to head out until noon when I thought Vince would be done and, again, I didn't want him to wait too long. I decided on Brown and decided to try to be quick about it. I think this must have been the smoothest I've run a more advanced course - I can see the contours not too badly now and I'm starting to pull in the vegetation information. I gave back my brown map because they had just run out of them so I can't remember many things... Took a nap when I got home, a sign of good effort. Hamstring is, of course, still bothering me but my back feels good.

Brown - Splits

@ King Farm loop

5 miles easy. I walked lot.

@ Rockville swim

regular strength

worked on squat form

@ Thomas Farm loop

workout - 5 miles hills.

I argued with Paul about this one - he shortened it to three, but still. I'm worried about my hamstring.

2 mile warmup to get the hamstring as warm as it was going to get, 3 miles of hills - not full strength, probably 70%, felt better and better through miles 3-4 and then started aching a bit on the 5th mile. The rest of the day, working at my desk/walking around, it felt pretty much how it always feels which is not bad.

Gorgeous day. We'll see how the hamstring is tomorrow.
