Training Log Archive: Sandy

Brown course at the pig. I was so bored that I deliberately took woods routes which were probably not any faster and maybe even slower. Physically though, I was able to run most of the course except the really bad uphills. I was not feeling particularly strong and was wheezing horribly, but I was able to keep moving for most of it. So that was good. Doing a longer course would have been very unpleasant.

Sunday Long Brown - Splits

Yellow leg on the winning 8 point DVOA relay team. I made a full minute mistake on #6 which is rather embarrassing; just got turned around out of a control since I came from a different direction than the line. Corrected after about 30 seconds but still. I was able to run the field and last uphill to the finish though and Clem was able to hang onto the lead the Vadim gave him so a fine day.

Walked a bit of the sprint in the morning just to stretch a bit after the awful travel day.

Saturday Yellow - Splits

Event: OCIN 25th Anniversary / Flying Pig XIII / Relay Champs
 

Was supposed to run the middle at the pig but a travel day from hell got me to Cincinnati in time for dinner and not running. Too bad; I like middle distance the best.

Mind was wandering for most of this so while I didn't feel particularly good the time went by fast.

Although that weight looks bad, it's way better than it was a couple of weeks ago! Rough spring weight-wise.

Missed Tuesday TNT again doing school work. And the next few weeks are only going to get worse...

Need to get more disciplined about doing strength/core workouts. At least I have been doing 5-10 minutes of yoga most nights.
