FCE (DVOA local - control hanging; epunch?)

Hung controls for today's DVOA event. Woods (and roads) were snow covered with a bit of sleet and freezing rain when we met early this morning to get started, and we wondered if anyone would show. Things improved as the day went along and we had about 65 people by the end. Did epunching all day (worked out of my car to try and keep warm) and the sun actually broke through the clouds just as I was leaving the park.

Druid's Delight Solstice Run, Fair Hill

Trail Run at Fair Hill with Valerie. (Tom O also showed up.) Up until about 20 minutes into the run I was thinking that this had not been one of my better ideas, but then I finally warmed up and got comfortable and had a blast. Having someone to run with was probably most of the reason I had such a good time though. Advertised as 18k but probably less.

Control pickup at White Clay Creek after a scout event. Skipped one and had to go back out for it. Doh!

Easy trail run with some good hills; legs pretty dead from last night. Absolutely stunning day down in the Wissahickon with lots of people out enjoying it; need to get the TNT crowd out during the day sometime so they can see where they've been running. Maybe have a Saturday training sometime.

DVOA TNT - intervals; 3 sets of half mile hard, half mile recovery, plus warm up and cool down. Six of us tonight; the guys did a similar workout but more sets and they ran both directions of the half mile hard and then a short recovery. Fun having everyone on the same section of the trail going back and forth. Wasn't raining while we ran although it poured earlier and is pouring now. :)
