I actually felt energetic for this class; more "rest" days, maybe, though close to 8 hours on my feet yesterday is a bit out of my ordinary practice.

Tooth crown installed; now preparing for one more trek up to Moreau to retrieve the western controls (5L-11), since it's going to be such a nice day.

C • control pick-up 7

At Moreau. I took the trail up to the A-meet day 1 start (G/R/B) to get a start on picking up controls from the western portion of the Billygoat.

Getting from four-way trail junction around to 7 controls and back. Headed out to 9-10-11 first to get the most climb done earlier, then over to 5L-6-7-8. Time includes stops at a few of the controls to untie flag, pull out stake, etc; at others I stopped my watch and then restarted. Usually this was when I took off my pack for longer than typical, or to take a few pictures. :-)

Stopped the watch at the water control. Took 15-20 minutes to pick up the cups and gel packets (and their tops), and to empty 5 of the gallon jugs that weren't used (better too much than too little water there, but I certainly wasn't going to haul any down the hill). Special thanks to the few people who actually put their trash into the bags. ;-)

Back to the car. Same route as on the way up so not sure why 70m longer. :-)

Event: 2nd Annual Speedy Goat (US Team Fund Raiser)
 

Event: Billygoat XXXIV and 2nd Annual Speedy Goat fund raiser
 

Used exercise balls, but didn't do rollups with them.

Regular hill program. Tried my usual machine, but the touchpad buttons weren't responding, so I switched (did I do that?). Started out to do 45 min, but an outer shin muscle was complaining, and my feet were tingly/numb-like (front half of the foot). I haven't decided if it's the shoes, the socks, or something else.
1.62 mi
Then adductors (2 sets of 12@70#) and pulldowns (10@62.5#)

C • Tingling 3

Mistrial!

Defense lawyer error. It was fascinating to listen to and talk with the Assistant DA after we were released re: what could they add or what angle or evidence they can pursue to make the retrial a stronger case (basically, what questions we had that weren't covered by the evidence presented). Defendant goes back to jail to await a new attorney, and a new trial date (and new jury).

C • Woo Hoo! 3

Sergey's current "advice" thread makes me laugh sometimes.

Body weight class (ie no other tools). She threw in some variations and slowed us down, so I think I'll be sore tomorrow.

Then intervals (indoor track, to be logged later), with a warm up on the treadmill that was aborted at 1/2 mile (instead of the intended mile) when I got a crick in my neck

Reading the Fox News scroll (only treadmill/TV combo available) until my neck hurt.

4 x 345m hard, with 230m easy; goal ~2:00-2:02 for the hards

I hadn't run intervals in a few weeks because of all the O events, but figured with only a hike last weekend and who knows what this coming weekend, I'd throw in some intervals. Ran a bit faster than I usually do, and what's more, I surprised myself by running faster each time (rests got longer, but that's not what counts). Felt hard but doable. Cool.

1:59 / 2:02
1:58 / 2:07
1:57 / 2:07
1:56 / 2:12

On a couple of the fast laps, I had to dodge a "jogger" in the "running" lane; that is, he was going slower than me, but I'm sure in his mind he was running and was therefore justified to be in that lane. Of course, walkers regularly walk in the jogging lane especially if they're busy talking with their companion. (Three lanes to choose from, with labeled signs overhead.)

Cool down, jogged three laps, walked the other four.
