Snowshoe 45:00 [3] 1.35 mi (33:20 / mi)
slept:7.5 weight:162.5lbs
Dog walk with R&S. Deep snow. Too deep for Dion racing shoes. Tubbs and boots. No discernible damage. Pretty amazing. Saplings bent over across the trail all the way, but that is certainly minor.

Note
Tiring day, including 5+ hours in the truck, plowing, searching for and waiting for gas for the generator (got some at Bishop's corner in W Hartford), playing the host for powerless neighbors.

Gym 1:10:00 [3]
shoes: 2011 Merrell Trail Glove
Workout at Crossfit 033 in Glastonbury with our friend David. Rowing, squats, pushups and pull ups for a warmup, then some extensive work on overhead squats, which I am not good at.. Not enough shoulder or back flexibility, so I was just practicing with a piece of PVC. Hard enough. Then we did a team workout alternating 2 minute sets of squats, pull ups, pushups and situps, as many as possible, 4 to a team, 3 going at any one time, with one getting a 2 minute break. Rhonda and I had a girl on our team who was the most amazing dynamo I have seen so far.

Event: US Night & Relay Champs
7 AM
Gym 55:00 [3]
slept:7.5 weight:161.5lbs shoes: 2011 Merrell Trail Glove
First we did a bunch of rowing. Jen is harassing me mightily over form. She wants me to have my legs straight before I bend my arms, and it is hard for me to change this and keep rhythm. Have to go slowly. As a cue, I am trying not to bring my chest back until the legs are reasonably straight, but I'm not sure that is it, either.
Then rounds of 6 reps squats (35, and then 40 lb DB), 6 KB swings (16 and then 20 kg), toes to bar, wall ball situps, etc. in between. 6 rounds. Not for time, and therefore not too bad. My left knee is pretty tender, so I laid off the lunges the others were doing.

Hike 25:00 [3] 1.3 mi (19:14 / mi)
dog walk with R&S. Brisk, snowy. Won't last. Ice crystals on the branches, saplings bending over.

Gym 1:00:00 [3]
slept:8.0 weight:160.5lbs shoes: 2011 Merrell Trail Glove
Thrusters and rowing ( calories). 21-15-9. I used 25# DBs for the thrusters, had to drop to 20s halfway. I could get them up but not hold them after a while. Then on to an early PT appointment for my wrist.
4 PM
Running 30:19 [3] 2.7 mi (11:14 / mi)
shoes: 2011 NB MT101 black
two dog loops, with Sassy, who was having quite a swell time of it. Drizzly and very cold - just above freezing, and finished just as the snow was starting. Not a lot of energy. Legs maybe tired from crossfit?

Gym 55:00 [3]
slept:7.0 weight:164lbs shoes: 2011 Merrell Trail Glove
Complicated workout. Multiple rounds of 10 situps, 10 half burpees (no jump), 5 parallette pass through, 10 grasshopper. Then, after a break, sets of three deadlifts. Last set at 161, at which point the wrist started to complain a little, so enough.
G adversely affected by last night's trip to Bub's.

Orienteering race 29:19 [3] *** 1.5 km (19:33 / km)
18c slept:9.0 weight:160lbs shoes: 2011 NB MT101 black
Corn maze classic race. I had quite a hard time managing the grid areas. Sobering to assess the state of my street-O preparedness. A very fine time, though. Found a couple of Sprint controls on the way to #1, not that it helped me later. No big errors, but several smaller ones and just not much pace. Excellent course.
Orienteering race 5:16 [3] *** 0.3 km (17:33 / km)
6c shoes: 2011 NB MT101 black
Corn maze sprint. Not quite as devious as last year, but a fine test nonetheless. I thought I was right on for #1, and catching up to kadley, but got one grid past, and instead Clint caught me. Swapped leads with him for a bit, until I turned the wrong way out of the T at the end and dropped another 10 seconds or so - an eternity in corn maze sprinting. A fine course, and congratulations to the winners.
