Event: QOC Oregon Ridge
 

QOC Oregon Ridge Green Course 5.3 km

Got talked into the Green Course :) Mistakes early on, but felt good towards the end. All in all did not do too well but lessons learned. (Contours, contours contours...when will I learn you??)

1- good
2- too far N, wrong ditch
3 - a little confused w how far uphill this one was / bad contour reading
4- good
5- big dum dum too far N and shallow reentrant not as close to water as I thought
6- okay longish leg, lots of rootstocks to choose from, which one?
7- this is where i started to feel good, and began more running (downhills)
8- good
9- good
10-good
11- got a little off course and confused but readjusted
12-most fun control of all! down hill all the way

Nice showing by DVOA - and nice job by all the ladies who beat me on the Green - the Sandies and Dasha. Thanks for making it more fun! You are my inspirado.

Also - maybe need new shoes?? Felt like I was sliding around inside my shoes and couldn't get a grip. Blood blister on big toe shows there was an issue. I'll treat you to a pic of it!

YUM

should have just gone to TNT but didn't want to go into tyler alone since no one my speed was going to be there...did this stupid thing in the dark alone anyway and gave up after a little while b/c forgot to wear a sports bra, don't do that again

C • TNT 5

just a quickie so i don't go nuts. aborted early due to hunger/dizziness. 8pm and haven't eaten since 1pm- lamest workout ever

this woman's body was found at ridley about a week after the ridley fox trot...

ok, i know this is depressing but apparently death by helium asphyxiation is quick and painless.

i guess she wanted to 'disappear'. i'm going to have to believe it's a suicide and not start worrying that running at ridley alone is unsafe.

C • Story 8

on demand yoga+pilates - mostly pilates though. harder than i thought it would be! ouch on the core and legs! my legs feel very tired.

leiper smedley mostly paved trails. hughmac3 said this morning, in regards to racing, "if you're not puking in the finish chute, you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough." well i pushed myself a little harder today! (no puke though.)

here is the data for the last 3 6-mile runs including today:
