Training Log Archive: Sandy

Ultra Long Green course at the Pig. The hope was to finish in 2:15. This would have happened -and then some - without my major goof at #3 to the tune of about 12 minutes. I'm still not sure why I had so much trouble with that control...

Ran quite a bit more than I thought I would be able to and only felt the hills right near the end.

Saturday UL Green - Splits

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XV & US ULtralong Champs
 

Brown course at the Pig. Some good legs and a couple not so good. Could see #3 but couldn't get there through the green crap - should have gone around. Not the best routes to #8 and #9. Then got within two feet of #10 and thought I looked over the edge of the earth bank far enough to see that there was no control there when in fact it was there which I discovered 6 minutes later when I came back...

10 sets of 15

Friday Brown - Splits

TNT - Indian hike with Sandy. Neither one of us felt like running so we didn't.

5 sets of 25

Event: DVOA Warwick County Park
 

Was thinking about going to Warwick but didn't get enough work done yesterday. Worked all morning but took a hike in the Wissahickon in the late afternoon. Saw lots of folks out there with a couple interesting ones. First was the guy in the meadows doing some sort of yoga routine - not so unusual I suppose but it was kind of neat the way I could see him silhouetted against the sky from a long way off. Next, in the meadows by the ball fields there was a film filming something. It looked to be a guy dressed all in black like a ninja warrior and a young girl dressed in a green sari looking thing and there were lights and cameras and a director shouting directions and all sorts of folks standing around. It was pretty cold out though so I didn't hang around to watch but just kept moving. Wonder what they were up to?
