Picked up some of the controls from today's event.

Helped put out some controls for tomorrow's event at Westmoreland Sanctuary.

Work day with Scenic Hudson. Installing bollards at their West Point Foundry Preserve. This should have been logged as exercise, as it was hard work.

'Sunset Sensations' at Locust Grove. Helping with E as usual.

Interval program. Level 16. 1360 strides.

I decided that it was time to get out of the recliner and do something. My feet aren't quite ready for running, so off to the gym. Emphasis on upper body.

Group A machines, omitting some leg stuff.

Hudson Highlander XX
A nice day (cool) and a challenging course. A bit too challenging for me, finishing 5 minutes overtime. I had no big errors, so could I have saved that time with better route choice, less time at the aid stations, or other? Maybe, but it didn't happen.
Started with Francis H. Around #9 he remembered a two hour cutoff for the first loop, so I went ahead on my own. Got to the end: no time limit. Caught up to Sharon on the trail run. She missed the first trail junction and lost about 10 minutes. Used some trails on the Surebridge section, which seemed to be a mistake, as they seemed to only go up.
Finished with sore feet, a sore back and completely exhausted legs. Will I do this again? Well, I have a short memory.
