PTOC event at Loose Park. When will I ever learn? One again I ignored all the warning thoughts bouncing around my brain, and went ahead and did something stupid. Today I was saying to myself "It's weird that the rose garden isn't out of bounds" and "Why didn't they map the paths in the rose garden?". Stupid, stupid, stupid., Yes, I really did think I had gone straight towards 9, and it was only after I couldn't find the marker that I figured it out. (Didn't help that I had folded the map so that the rose garden section wasn't showing.) Fessed up at the finish, and listed myself as DQ. route

Went back to the track fo rthe first time since my injury: time to get back up on the horse. Took it very easy and did mostly stretches and technique drills (at a walking pace). My hamstring injury recovery checklist called for 2X50 meters at 60% efffort, so I did a modification of my winter 100m walk-jog-run-sprint workout. I ran the 50 meters fairly fast, then walked the next 250 meters, and started again. I was pretty nervous about running fast again, but my hamstring felt fine and I had fun.
Had a busy day planned with the Cornell new student picnic, plus the hamstring is still achy, so I went to the gym in the morning, and finished off with some erging at home in the evening. Ho hum.
