PTOC red course at a new map - Smithville. Kind of rough with some yucky (or maybe even icky) forest and a cold rain falling. I'd hoped and expected the rain to hold off, so I hadn't bothered with anti-fog on the glasses (not sure if it would have worked). I had a few difficulties reading detail on the map.

When you ran off trail it was a struggle to figure out how to get through fastest. Sometimes you push hard and fight to get through stuff. But, other times it was better to try to just ease back and focus on not thrashing.

All in all, a fun event.

Warm up jog. A bald eagle was flying around the little peninsula that I jogged on to warm up. That was pretty cool.

Just the commute. Nothing else. It wasn't exactly dream commuting weather. Steady, cold rain on both the to and from ride.

I worked a bit late tonight. I had some stuff to get done before daylight savings kicks in. Got it done.

Work commute and then a half hour on the trainer in the basement.

Commuting to/from work. The ride home was in a steady rain.

I'd planned to run, but I felt sleepy (late night last night) and decided to do nothing. Then I decided that a little bit on the land boat would be reasonable.

Work commute. Actually I'm prelogging my return trip. I'm at a CC meeting tonight and I am the last item on the agenda. I'll probably be home tonight. My guess is I'll roll in around midnight.

Picked up my bike at Sunflower after work and biked home in the light rain. They did a tune up and the bike seems to be in good shape. Except, they also seemed to have done something that made the front light stop working. The rear light they didn't get around to working on. The bike has a generator in the front hub that powers a rear and a front light. The front light has always worked (until today). The rear light has been unreliable. Guess I'll take it back tomorrow and try to get the front working again. Annoying.

Land boat.

The "Runt" at Hawn. The Runt is a mass start "goat" style course with one skip. It is the wimpy version of the Grunt. Since I'm a wimp, I ran the Grunt.

It went ok.

Warming up.
