A slog of a run through considerable snow on the ground and rain. I had originally planned to run to Hammond Pond to attend Ross's training, but as I approached the river, I decided I would be too cold and lack the stamina to orienteer and then make my way home, even via the T. The snow on the ground and even the rain were tolerable, but the puddles in the snow troughs were very taxing. Splashing myself with freezing water was unavoidable for much of the route, and the footing was awkward. With the exception of my feet and lower legs, I was adequately warm, but my body seemed to be working particularly hard to maintain my temperature.
It turns out I had made a navigational error; I had planned to cross the river at the Arsenal bridge. Oops.

My streak of missing all CSU trainings Sam attends continues. Perhaps one day, we will train together.
