Event: Susquehanna Stumble X
 

SVO Stumble.
As usual, a great deal of fun. Did the short. Ended up running with Heidi O, John and Dagmar for most of the race. Saw lots of people on and off -the long was not just the short plus a second loop so at first I couldn't figure out why I was seeing some of the long runners.

Only had one or two bobbles and there was generally agreement that the map was less than perfect in these areas. Didn't lose much time and overall satisfied with my routes and with the orders of the controls in the windows.

Really hot day although I don't think it really affected me too much while on the course. I was dripping with sweat but only once crossing a field did I feel that the heat was uncomfortable. But I did drink water at all three water stops which is highly unusual and once finished I started to feel the sun quite a bit. My car showed 100F when I got in it to go home!

Short loop on the trails on this side of the valley. My ankle felt okay - I could feel it on the uphills, just a little stiffness, but generally it was fine. Will probably attempt the short stumble this weekend.

Yep. 30 seconds. That's how long it took to turn my ankle on the trail. &^%$#$%@@!#@

Core work and stretching. Got lazy part way through and didn't do the strength and yoga parts I sometimes do.
