Ali's and my event today went relatively smoothly, with excellent help from Caroline, Sara, Peter and Kathy at the registration center and Jim Paschetto on results. Attendance was lower than is typical at Nobscot, and the unrelenting drizzle throughout the day probably was the primary cause.

At 1 PM, as people were finishing up the courses, Ali and I decided to run the Brown course - as the best approximation for a technical WOC forest sprint.
3 PM

Mystic River Park-O. The park lends itself to fairly trivial navigation, and today's was a runner's course. I ran hard, but I felt pretty terrible. It is like my body can't quite decide if it's sick. Obvious possibilities seem allergies, some sort of subtle virus, or a really discreet case of Lyme. If this sense of malaise lasts through the weekend, I will go see a doctor.

Still, despite my feeling off, I put a decent effort today. My heartrate seems elevated given the effort; I haven't hit HR 192 in quite some time.

Note

The opening theme and horn solo to Bruckner 4 is hauntingly beautiful. I don't think the symphony is as poignant or powerful as Mahler 9, but it's still magnificent. Apparently the opening theme was intended by Bruckner to indicate sunrise. I have also heard the horn solo near the beginning of Brahms 1 described as sunrise, but I don't think that was intended by the composer. It's also more limited in scope than Bruckner's, which I find more reminiscent of the glorious opening to Strauss's Alpine Symphony. I think Strauss takes longer for the sun to rise than the actual sun does. Yet the result is overwhelming.

Also, for any of you who haven't yet seen it, check out the music video of David Bowie's Space Oddity performed by (Canadian) Commander Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station. It's becoming something of an internet phenomenon, with over 14 million hits on youtube in eight days.

Event: CSU Rocky Woods Spring Meet
 

Note
slept:13.0 (sick) (rest day)

Felt very tired for some reason, so I slept for a long time. I woke with a bit of a headache, and disappointingly decided to skip the Rocky Woods meet.

Map Exercises (Catching Features) 12 [0]

I have been really bad about logging my Catching Features consistently; I have run 12 courses in the past 30 days, though I probably have forgotten several more from the previous months.

My lifetime experience with CF amounts to 187 courses and 31 reruns. Woot.
