Event: SMOC Huron Meadows
 

Slightly cheap podium, as I when I paid Clint I saw that Igor was 68:xx and Tom was 67:xx, so I knew what to push for, especially on the final 3rd.

Overshot #3 low (should have taken trail). +20s? Misread bend at #4 (overshot, saw end of marsh). +20? Biggest gaffe was thinking road to #16 might work, but I couldn't push it hard enough and instead of beating Alex to bag by 30 s if I had just taken the trail, I was maybe 20 s back.

Then surprisingly slow to 18, although I had to walk that trail (to prevent overrev so I could crush finish), also I tumbled crossing to the other trail.

Left it all out into finish, curious to see pace.

Fun times! Hopefully leg feels good tomorrow. If I can push this hard in eight weeks, I'll have more fun at GNC than I have before!

Picked up flags, then forgot to shut off watch.

Treadmill

Highly tempted to try installing a new battery ($20) into the old Fenix 1. Cheapest return to strap based HR and it has a locking feature so you don't inadvertently shut it off mid run. Youtube looked easy enough, just two little solder things that would be the trickiest bit of it. FR225 is convenient since its non gps time is way better, but its HR is often fictional and it's super easy to shut off.

midweek run complete! on crete but hopefully okay. to/from library

HUGE BREAK to remove my dishwasher from the cabinet area, and reconnect it so it can function in the middle of my kitchen otherwise the warranty people absolutely cannot assess it, also to take Harvs to school, which was slightly confounded by getting him all cinched up in his car seat at which time he promptly spit up on himself, necessitating a lap upstairs for a new outfit, although thankfully he was not super squirmy for that outfit, unlike the one he just soiled that was no easy task to put on him, so it only took a few minutes for the later wardrobe change.

I guess the LG warranty procedure if you aren't handy:

* Hire handyman to remove dishwasher. I imagine it's a $100 to get someone to show up at your house?

* LG service bothers to return calls / show up in definitely no more than 10 days

* Hire handyman to reinstall dishwasher. I imagine it's $100 to get someone to show up at your house?

Thankfully work is flexible, otherwise if you charge yourself for each day off at your normal vacation rate, you are quickly over the cost of a stupid new dishwasher, installed (and that would probably have a similar day off, making it still ahead....but I am 75% sure the LG service contractor will not have the part that's wrong, so they'll have to order and come back....)

C • Thoughts and Prayers 4

My office building (1200 people?) is having a "Winter Wonderland" where you can show off your home business (pampered chef, avon, crafty business, food business, "informational"...) It's only $25 for a table, one wonders if a SMOC table would generate 2.5 starts worth of interest from the traffic.

C • If nothing else 4

Nice run at Marshall w/ BNM.

A few more slippery spots, but not too bad with judicious foot placement.
