ROC Meet at Black Creek - Green course

Today's mid-April event featured a couple of round of snowflakes, with some bright sunshine in between. First local meet since the "no running" order issued by the doctor, so my navigation was quite good, but the pace was quite poor.

Biggest error was being on the wrong side of the tree at the root stock control (10), passing it, and having to walk around the end of the tree to go back for it (climbing over no longer an option). Second biggest error was on the last control, where I went left around the trees to the flag and should have gone right. I did win one leg (2).

Flag pickup - Luke got 6 controls; I got 3. But I did get back first (OK, mine were also closer).

Green - Splits

Meant to bike and swim last night, but fell asleep around 7 until 11:30, then worked (both jobs) until 2:30. So, I went to the Y fairly early today for the swim.

Mini Mayhem w/up with the 200 pacer, who I did beat at the end (P=199, C=69).

First time on Outlaw Rock, and went with the 220 pacer despite feeling flat after the long layoff. Fell behind early, but caught up at the peak near halfway, then lost some time on the early downhills, but made up 10 seconds in the last 2 miles and beat him by 5 seconds. (P=224, C=63)

#2 at Bayview, but leader is 33:14 with P=266.

Went home after track practice and fell asleep until 2:30am. Fallout from completing 4 federal returns, 3 NY returns, 1 CA return, 1 PA return, 1 Pittsburgh return and procrastinating on 1 NY return (refund coming, so late is OK) and have the Patriot's Day reprieve on 1 MA return.

C • returns 5

Spent the whole day doing taxes, except for the timeout to go to the Sabres game (stopped at work from before 10 until 1:30am to complete and print more forms).
