Red Middle at Golden Gate Park! This was awesome fun! I had a bit of trouble getting into the map. I think part of this was that I'm pretty sure the first control was misplaced, but I didn't realize it at the time because I randomly stumbled upon it on my way to the correct location. I was super surprised to see it there and almost didn't check the code and then felt relieved that I found it since I figured that I must be quite confused about where I was. This then lead to some trouble getting to 2, after which I decided that I couldn't trust the trails, which made navigating a bit difficult. After another 5 or 6 controls I started gaining confidence and my feet and hands denumbed and things were much improved :-). I had little bobbles here and there throughout, particularly on controls on vegetation boundaries, but overall it was just a ton of fun (particularly at the end when SGB+Presto and I were neck and neck)!

I had to run off to a concert immediately after the race, which meant that stretching was delayed until about 10pm, but I managed to fit it in before sleeping!

Corridor/Window-O at UC Berkeley! We had a good-sized group at BAOC training tonight for a really fun exercise where most of the map was whited out. One of the controls got me, but in general this was nice and clean for me. My hamstrings and hip flexers were tired from yesterday and my heel didn't feel perfect, but it was lots of fun to be out and about. Presto was super excited to be out and to be wearing a jacket! (It was actually chilly!) I think he's missed his jackets :-).

Monday yoga! Lots of upper body and hamstrings today.

Our normal instructor was back today, which was nice. Lots of leg and abdominal stretching.

Mountain biking with SGB and Presto at Redwoods Regional Park! Woohoo! Lots of fun! There were bazillions of dogs out there, so we never got going especially fast (they seemed bizarrely interested in my front wheel...), but there was plenty of up-up-up to give us a nice workout. Presto had a huge grin on his face most of the time, and so did we! We'll have to go back again sometime and actually bike the entire bike loop because we definitely took a couple of wrong turns out there :-).
