Event: Speedy Goat Sprint Relay
Walking 18:00 [1] 0.5 mi (35:59 / mi)
AM DP w/ paper as well. Good (no porcupines) & bad stuff! eg, cyber bullying right here in Concord, 13 y/o's Facebook post wishing her teacher dead vs. bin Laden's killing all those WTC people - 1st amendment vs threats/bullying (teachers count!), plus inanity/insanity in contemporary behavior. Right below same page, mother guilty for 2005 cook-baby-in microwave. Then state politics where two good quotes came up: "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" (Derek Bok, Harvard) & William Buckley: "Conservatism implies a certain submission to reality" --- but not in NH.
Time to get out of town! Come to think, time to go to the BG.

Note
Drive to Bethel, CT with Steve Tarry, lady friend Betsy and Ernst. Stayed at Brautigam's. Put up tent in their yard (#8). Joe & especially Pavlina were most generous with providing dinner & breakfast at short notice in a preoccupied Head Goat household.

Road/trail 30:00 2.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
Went to SPS w/ idea of 7' pace on track. There were several hundred kids
doing some sort of games around track & on infield. Went to a nearby soccer
field with idea of running perimeter but idea slowed to a jog and even less for some reason. Some Rt. hamstring guessing was part of it. Watched robins "shop" for worms amidst the dandelions. Prime May day.

Road/trail 37:20 4.0 mi (9:20 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Defyance
South to Iron Works, Clinton, Langley, considered Memorial track but had to get back. Some 50 on 50 off. Ticks everywhere after the stewardship walk. One turned up on the oncall room bedspread at NHH. Beth had one crawling on her neck at the gym and placed it between the weights, a challenge which it might likely have met.

Trail/woods running 22:00 1.8 mi (12:13 / mi)
PM DP as well as warmup for first of mini-O sprints. Z&M were thrilled to get so far afield compared to past DP's...well into the woods at one mile plus.
Mosquitos assured motion. Left 305 on car in garage - suppose it could/should be a near-constant companion at least for distance covered. Don't always get along with OCAD distance measure.

6 PM
Orienteering 14:48 [4] 1.87 km (7:55 / km) +30m 7:20 / km
Mini-sprint, not hot. No compass necessary. Some query on way to one & two, rest were served by memory. 3 to 4 w/ a lot of blowdown to negotiate - tried west edge of big depression - east is bad as noted when streamering. It is filled with new growth. 5-6, 6-7 have rc options that should be fun/interesting to compare.
Mini course. QR will happen.

Weightexercise workout 15:00 [1]
At Memorial Field after work, countless HS kids doing sports. Hefty female softball pitcher threw a ball so hard/fast, it made me wonder if it could be hit - how times have changed.
Road/trail 15:00 [2] 1.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
On grass at Memorial Field & in woods behind. Tired, never got back to sleep in Burlington after the alarm went off at midnight (Jenn thought she set for 0450). Up at 0445, away 0500 as the sun was brightening the sky over the mountains in the east. Monday, Monday.

shoes: Brooks Defyance
Burlington Mother's Day treat. Got out of car opposite Fletcher Allen, stumbled upon Rte. 127 bike path which led to Ethan Allen Park & 80 Poirier, Jenn's new house. Was thinking 6 miles would be about right & direct route couldn't get much closer. Had considered running along 89 in the hinterlands but it seemed too complicated. Perfect day to be out & about.
