Around the trails with Casey. Up to the hill top. Off trail for some as well.

Full arms, legs and core x 3 sets.

Trying to stay warm.

Mostly nice run, but big blowup going thru heavy rhododendron to #12 cost the race. Actually had to seriously relocate midway (4 min lost) and then when I got to the control area (9 min). Guess I'm pleased I was able to accurately relocate, but shouldn't have lost position in the first place. Underestimated the density of the green coming out of #11; could have picked a longer faster route that avoided it. Up until then the running had been reasonable. I guess that's why this part was dark green.

Had a couple long legs and ran hard on these. Legs felt good and nothing hurt afterward; knee, achilles fine.

Oops -- later, knee starting to ache. We'll see.

C • knee ok? 2

Green X Long - Splits

Event: Hickory Run
 

Raw and chilly morning, had to get warm.

Green X. Middle distance with lots of 2-400 m legs. Ran pretty well thru #11; relaxed too much and looked for #12 part way up the slope rather than at the top. Mistook a form line for a full contour. Didn't see the little boulder under the tree and relocated back towards the field from #11. Then found it okay, but lost 5 min on the exercise. Overshot the crest of the hill on #13 and had to double back, 1 1/2 min there. Had a nice finish split, though.

Green X Middle - Splits

Light workout on the arms, dips and pullups; standard for everything else x 3 sets.

Planned roller skiing today, but weather was all-around rotten, so skipped it and did strength instead. Trace of snow, but mostly lots of rain.
Got some insulation and installed it on most of the N wall of the barn. Next I might have to do the house.

Up rte 30 from the Retreat Farm. Long and flat along West River. Cold wind coming down river made it chilly on the way out. Lots of V1, double pole, no pole.

Full arm, leg and core workout; 3 sets of various knarly nasties.
