Quick set of 10 min abs and 2 min back in afternoon coffee break. Talk given this morning, phew! But seem to have a sore throat, boo, hope it doesn't turn too bad. Figure I've already gotten 1 cold this winter, hopefully this one's related and immune system can deal well!

C • When do you come home? 7

Not much time before conf registration + breakfast, just a bit on ellpitical.

Arms!
Pushups-11-10-9
Tricep overheads w/ 20lbs (3x15)
Pulldowns from machine (3x15)

Orienteering on the warm up map. Very helpful to get a sense of things.

Testing WRE course for Sprint Camp. Totally a blast, but scared to give anything away, so just a recommendation to go, if you still have the option! Did 2 different courses, tried a few different options for some identical legs on second go. Mostly first time chose faster option, but once not, nice to be able to test!

University of Washington, Course 7 from a Cascade event a bit ago.

Conference lasted too late, so heading out skiing didn't make sense, and was even dark by the time we got to UW campus. Luckily Dan had a little headlight I could borrow so that helped seeing the map, and mostly the campus was well lit, just a few times when down back hillsides that weren't on normal lit zones.

Legs burned to start, despite warmup, mostly calves. Hmph. Maybe didn't drink enough water during conference. I wanted to try to run pretty hard, but don't feel like I managed that, HR wasn't that hard, I just wasn't killing it out there. Was trying to focus on always knowing the next step, which worked pretty well. Also did avoid directly running into any students!

A few times was a bit confused by map, like at 7- took a bit to be sure stairs were being marked by a darker shade of brown. And now I think that the hashed black lines are probably marking overhangs, but didn't really get that while running, thought it was out-of-bounds perhaps... and leaving the start was super-duper tricky! Multilevel parking area, guess if you were really racing, you could have kinda scoped that out beforehand.

846/2000

Ug, gross. It snowed for the first half of the night, and rained for second half, so there was a good 4-5" of slush on the sidewalks. Very cold feet, and I had to try to run daintily around the bus stops where people were waiting so as to not splash slush at them...

C • Seattle 4

10 min abs, 2 min side plank, 2 min push ups

Did 10-9-8 with breaks for the push ups. Was hard.

Morning joggeroo pre-conference from Dan's along Phinney, HR from Garmin is wrong for first bit, first time that's ever happened... Fun to spectate all the new-to-me shops along the road, Seattle sure does have high density of coffee places!

C • Seattle Chocolate 14

Gave my 5 min talk at the big astronomy meeting out here in Seattle, a few good q's and people interested, good stuff. Psyched to have my bit over and get to be unstressed for listening to other people's work!
