What a lovely run around the lake! Really, really going to miss these trails. Saw loads of lady slipper orchids, especially around the N end of the lake. And did a bonus up the ski hill via the trail, because around the lake is kinda flat (although always little up-and-down). Felt strong and ankle did well with the more technical bits again.

Woo, feeling better! Deer Path loop including out/back over Bright Slopes Hill + Craigs Corridor little loop. Ankle felt good, energy felt back and got out before super-heat.
Saw a really cool iridescent green beetle at one point.

Little trail joggeroo, still feel like I'm recovering from weekend for some reason. Ankle felt really quite good on this though - did some more technical trails without tape and feel like it was net good for ankle (strengthening) instead of harmful!

After a fun stay and catch-up chez Gagarin, out to Mt. Tom for some training! The kiddos + Tom went and found a playground in Holyoke somewhere.

Training @ Mt. Tom
Mt. Tom was tough before all the blow-downs, now it's *really* tough. But good slope-side training for Switzerland. Was going pretty well until #6 (on Greg's course for Danny), and then on #7, I started the right way and then deflected into the wrong reentrant. Partially a lack of paying attn to compass when I needed to, partially poor distance/elevation loss judgement on 1:15.
But then, what I'm really least pleased with was my total inability to figure out where the heck I was. Came out on the road, eventually. But lost so much time I didn't have much more time for training. =(
