Rest day of sorts. Drove into Hoboken with Rhonda and the boys and visited Jessica. Went over to NYC and did about 5 miles of tramping around and sightseeing before heading home.

Event: WCOC Trout Brook Valley
 

Trout Brook Valley. Excellent course, beautiful woods. Rhonda and I brought six kids! Erik has recruited far more people to orienteering in three days than I have in 28 years. Pretty amazing. My route. Slow, and trouble seeing things, but felt really good about level of concentration and navigational success.

workout today was weighted pullups, 7 max singles. So a bit of warmup squats, back ext, situps, pullups, then another warmup set with 25 lbs suspended from a climbing harness, then the 7 singles with 50. Crossfit standard is chest to the bar, but I can't do even one of those without weight, so all of these were chin over the bar, but just barely. Then a few pullups without weight, getting as high as I can and hanging on until it gets too difficult.

Red Course - Splits

With Rhonda and Kathleen, sort of. Legs felt very tired and I let them go pretty much right away. 23:24 out, 21:00 back. They went a bit further.

After some negotiations with Rhonda, same workout as Monday - 50 reps each of the 8 exercises. I had been talking about squats, but she wasn't interested. Pretty sore before starting, and a little apprehensive, but once I got started I was stronger and faster than Monday. Medicine ball throws are definitely the hardest for me, but maybe it is partly because they are last.

From Pleasant Valley. Plan was out and back 20 minutes, but my legs were tired after the crossfit yesterday and I gradually fell back.
