Event: NEOC / WCOC: Gay City State Park
 

Stretchy bands in use. Muscles in upper body still tired (not so much sore as fatigued and needing rest), whether from Tuesday's class or yesterday's extended plank I'm not sure. Sore from ribs to neck. I limited upper body band use. Legs tired too. I don't think I'm coming down with anything but will monitor this tiredness.

Not really in the mood to walk but Glen wanted to swim so I walked moderately around the track (not a slow stroll but not pushing it either).

10 pulldowns

This felt hard for some reason (no energy)...maybe too close to breakfast (8am) and body was still digesting?

Held a high plank for 1:45, then an elbow plank for 0:25 and another high plank for 0:30.

Hips were very tight during stretching (from yesterday?).

Nice workout with weights thrown in, and good side leg torture too.

Miles in 14:57 and 15:02

Then a dozen quick pulldowns.

To a neighbor's yard and back to visit the old cemetery behind their house (gravestones from 1777 to 1842) and take photographs to upload to FindAGrave. I actually hadn't noticed this cemetery before this spring even though we've lived here over 30 years.

I have filled photo requests by others, added some not requested (because I was there), and made a couple of photo requests myself, for cemeteries in Pennsylvania. Fun.

Warm class today (fans going but no A/C). Part of the aerobics section involved us picking a piece of paper with a particular movement written on it, then she called on us one by one to say what it was, and she cobbled it all into a routine. We made it a bit more interesting by demonstrating rather than telling her our particular move (all of us being old timers around The Firm exercise studio).

Event: WCOC Mashamoquet State Park
 

Green course at Mashamoquet Brook SP, Pomfret, CT (Wolf's Den map). Temps in low to mid 80s, slight breeze here and there; wide open woods where mapped as white (unlike last weekend at West Point :-) ). Some laurel; some climb but today mostly it was in the first half of the course (there was a short steep-ish climb to 8 after crossing a stream).

Wasn't jogging much but did some for the first few controls though there was a net 15 contour climb 1-2-3. The only one I had a bit of trouble with was 7 where the map and reality didn't agree in my mind and I hadn't gone quite far enough; checked some other boulders, then checked the right one.

Some hesitation at 10, described as SE side of a pond; there was a dammed pond with a stream exiting it, oriented NW-SE and the flag was on the S side of the stream exiting the dam. I approached from the trail to the south and checked out the dam and was about to climb down to cross it when I saw the flag just a bit to the S of the dam. Took the trail around from there, over the new (2007) bridge and in to the finish.

Thanks to Rich Nietupski and Jim Henderson for a fine course and a start/finish location in the shade and breeze. :-)
