Event: Flying Pig XII
 

Spike count is an estimate for now. I had one really bad control that was in a labyrinth of clearings after a run thru indiscreet light/medium green. More later...

w/up and w/dn. The jog to the start was 2km, and I did some before that to check out the finish. I also managed some very light jogging afterwards, hoping that I can recover a bit for tomorrow.

Did the model course after dropping Nate, Zach and Chelsea and Luke off at the gravel road to cut their 2km walk to the start to under 1km.

Unfortunately I forgot to give Luke a compass, so he had to do the Rec-White without a compass. Zach pointed north for him before he started, and he managed to make it around fairly cleanly, with Chelsea just watching him. I wish I had his sense of direction.

Blue - Short Pig/WRE - Splits

We scrimmaged Thomas and I got roped into timing lane 2 for all of the lame events (100, HH, 200, 400), so I just squeezed in one short jog to loosen up. Not really log-worthy, but I did it, so...

Since I was a little busy at work, a day off seemed like a great idea.

Various jogging around Wayne HS during the scrimmage. The wind was fierce. I had planned to do some tempo running, but the conditions were too ridiculous.

Easy run, a little sore in several places, from hockey. E-C-P - felt like I hadn't done it in awhile.

Almost too slow, had to do 3 x 100 stride pickups on the way in to keep it below 32.

Quite possibly the final night of the Zamboni league for me, since there are just 2 weeks left and I'll be coming back from the Flying Pig and Billygoat those weeks.

We scrimmaged one of the Advanced league teams, and almost held our own (only lost about 3-0). We had some scoring chances but couldn't put it away - I was just a hair slow getting to a loose puck in the slot at one point. I had a couple of nice collisions, since the Advanced Zamboni's don't have full control either, as it turns out.

Didn't make it over to Chestnut Ridge for some training between Zach's hockey games, as I had hoped. But eating at Applebees instead seemed to work for Z as he netted the winning goal with 40 seconds left in his last game of the season. That earned him (and his linemates) the game puck. He had also earned the game puck Saturday night, so it was probably his best tournament performance. And this after he was the odd-man-out and didn't play in the last 4:30 of Saturday AM's game (when some questionable coaching maneuvers were underway).

Track practice (distance runners only) with poor Saturday turnout once again (just Nate, Alex and Bobby). I noticed that Thomas had an enormous turnout of boys and girls. Not sure why our practice isn't mandatory.

Ran from Thomas to the bike path and headed east. No way I could stay with Nate and Alex, while they ran easy, with my lingering illness. And Bobby is a little too slow, so I was on my own until Nate and Alex turned around a bit early and got back to me at 26:30, just before Phillips. I ran with them a bit, then fell behind, but passed them on the road crossing at 250, and held them off for a bit. Took the Hard-Publishers shortcut and got back just before them.
