Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2016
 

Event: Anza Borrego 2016
 

Brown day 1 at Georgia Navigator Cup. Nominally 3.9 km, 160m climb (not sure how they counted that since wven going straight doesn't give that much climb). Think I was 10th overall on Brown.

Some trouble with several controls:
#2 (wrong saddle so wrong angle, but I fixed it okay)
#5 (biggest time loss; way too far up the reentrant)
#8 (looking too far west on the north side of the shallow hill; light green was vague)

The rest were good and I loved the weather with bright sun and temps in the low 50s at start and into the upper 50s for hanging around after).

I went as fast as my knees let me. Felt okay at start but they were quite achy by the time I was done.

Brown - Splits

Lots of stuff with the bigs balls, including bridges with leg lifts, which aren't so hard when the legs are extended, but when your feet are on the ball and *then* you try to lift one leg, that's tough. Triceps and biceps with the weights.

15:00/15:12/3:42
Felt about the same as Tuesday, but was faster per mile. Okay.

Some roll ups with big ball in fitness room plus some one leg balancing on a Bosu.

Standing warmup(!). I just wish we did this every time.

We added very light weights (1-3#) for moves where we normally don't use weights, to get a bit of added resistance.

16:05/16:14/3:51

Probably my slowest times yet. Knees presumably warmed up after Pilates, and I felt like I was going as fast as I could, but the mile times were s l o w today. If this keeps up I may have to see what's really going on with the knees.

Georgia should be an adventure....

In the cold (furnace apparently malfunctioned, and the room temperature was probably around 50F). Fortunately she kept us moving all the time including ab work while standing rather than on a mat.

Started out with my winter jacket, gloves, and scarf on, and eventually removed them but left my lightweight fleece on top of the singlet and kept my hair down on my neck. Brrrr!

Yoga-Pilates fusion class with Diana (who reminded me appearance-wise of Eileen B).

Nice stretching, but poses were held longer than I was capable of many times. I like how Mary (Tu-Th Pilates instructor) changes things up rather than doing an area of the body for an extended time. I guess the first way builds more strength.

Just a mile while Glen showered. Some of the early laps were quicker than normal due to having to jog around folks (track was more crowded than usual) so my mile was 14:22 instead of closer to 15:00.
