Inspired by vmeyer, here is a rundown of my OUSA rankings through history. Unless otherwise stated, these are all on Blue:

2001 15th place - 10 races - 90.7 ranking
2002 13th place - 13 races - 87.8 ranking
2003 15th place - 14 races - 87.4 ranking
2004 13th place - 23 races - 90.3 ranking
2005 17th place - 6 races - 89.8 ranking
2006 7th place - 7 races - 96.0 ranking (living in Sweden)
2007 ----------- - 3 races - 102.2 ranking (living in Sweden; 2nd best ranking)
2008 ------------ - 2 races - 90.0 ranking (injured; 10th best ranking)
2009 5th place - 7 races - 96.5 ranking
2010 5th place - 10 races - 93.4 ranking
2011 10th place - 5 races - 87.3 ranking (still injured; not training)
2012 5th place - 6 races - 96.3 ranking (training again)
2013 ------------ - 3 races - 100.3 ranking (2nd best ranking)
2014 3rd place - 10 races - 98.5 ranking (moving back to US)
2015 11th place - 6 races - 88.5 ranking (injured again; 111.9 ranking on Red)
2016 ---------- - 3 races - 73.5 ranking (injured; 23rd best ranking)

Not a pretty picture in recent years. And not surprisingly, best ranking years (2007 and 2013) correspond to best training years and a lot of time spent in Sweden. Here's hoping for a healthier and better 2017 racing season.

Trying Kenny's approach to elliptical sessions: keeping the strides at 180 per minute. Seemed to work well in terms of getting my heart rate up more than usual.

One-legged squats on the Bosu plus resistance band work.
