Event: NEOC: 2014 Troll Cup
 

Walked from parking to arena to drop off bag of warm clothes for after race, and then walked and jogged to start.

SL 3.4 km, 55m climb, by Dean Sturtevant...a very nice brown course in a complex area with not a lot of elevation change. 1:10000 map with 2.5m contours; glacial terrain with pine saplings reducing visibility in some areas.

Temps around 40 or so, and sunny which made it mostly comfortable for standing around later. Others in my class were spread out timewise so we hung around a bit to see later finishers.

AP lists me with error on 7, but I was just being slow and careful. My big mistake was to 9 where I wandered a bit, off the map north of where I needed to be, but relocated and figured out where I needed to go. My error was due in part to seeing a control on the big trail (when I reached it) in a low wet spot and assuming it was the stream crossing on my map just NE of 9; it's most likely off the map and on tomorrow's white course. I figure I lost almost 6 minutes there. I saw Bob B, who had punched #8 just ahead of me, wandering in the same area but he apparently took a lot more time to figure out what he'd done.

Chase start tomorrow should be interesting with Sandy 21 sec ahead and Trisha about the same time behind. Hope the course is as much fun.

Walk back to parking.

Brown - Splits

Using bands. Good workout.

First mile and last half mile walking, jogging first part of second mile.
1.0 -- 14:31
0.5 -- 5:56
0.5 -- 7:30

A few knee lifts and stretching after.

In Chatham. After our warm up and aerobics segments, did a bit of circuits with weights (1 min each area) which is a bit of a change from her usual routines. Conversation lively and entertaining as always.

Following PG's example, I purchased fingerless bike gloves with padding in the heel-of-the-hand area. I fell at Mountain Lakes and still have a nodule from the impact; and then I landed on it again last weekend. I'm hoping these gloves will keep me from doing more damage to my hands when I fall. I may have to adjust the length of the left thumb to make room for my thumb compass strap.

Now I just have to figure out how to protect my knees.

C • I use an old base-plate com... 2

Using weights. I was exhausted after the warm-up today. :-)

Pulldowns (barely 8 at 68.75#), and adductors (20 at 75#).

After voting, Glen dropped me off a bit less than 3 miles from home and I walked the rest of the way. (Polling place is about 5 miles away...I used to walk when the polling places --firehouses in my area-- were 1-2 miles from home).

Low to mid 60s on November 4th!

Saw 4 dogs (including 2 scarydogs), and 5 horses.

Some anomalous achiness in my left knee (the newly injured one) while doing step, but not enough to make me stop. Nice class once I woke up enough. :-)
