Event: SMOC Independence Oaks
Gravel Bike 25:00 [3] 2.0 mi (4.8 mph)
A couple slow laps of most of the CX course for today. I ran into a dead end at one point as the volunteers had made a mistake putting the tape up. They got it fixed.
Gravel Bike (CX Race) 47:00 [5] 6.7 mi (8.6 mph)
Local unsanctioned event.
Like last time, they put everyone in one heat and had us self-seed ourselves. I started at the back with the kids but soon passed a couple guys. The speedy guys started passimg me near the end of my third lap. I did 5 laps. Riding between the rows of apple and peach trees, right through their barn, zig zagging over the lawn and up and down in the ditch along the road, beer handups by the pool, and one nasty muddy section (rode it the first time through, then rode less and less of it with each lap as it got soupier). Other years, the ground had been frozen so it was a rough ride. This year, soft ground made for a smoother, but slower, slippery/wheel sucking ride.
The woman who allegedly beat me last time was there and as we went up and down the rows of apple trees, I could see her a row or two behind me. She was awarded second place and I got third (out of the 3 women who finished.....a couple dropped out). Chatting over chili and homemade hard cider afterwards, she conceded that there had been a mix up and I had come in second (which is what I am pretty sure happened last time). I think I shoot over the finish line so quickly, the guy who is supposed to be keeping track doesn't even see me LOL.
It snowed a few times, but no accumulation.

Gym time (Class) 50:00 [3]
shoes: Other
This was advertised as TRX/Kettlebell.
It was not really that.
The class started with 20 minutes of step, which is quite h-e-double hockey stickish to me, having not done single-single-double-tap-toe-turn for, ummm, half a lifetime. So I zigged while everyone else zagged.
The TRX part was really just 3 different moves, alternating with one legged push ups while balancing one hand on a Kettlebell. Then lunges with a slider while holding the Kettlebell. And hopping back and forth over the step with the Kettlebell, incorporating squats.
A decent cardio workout, but not the workout with weights that I expected.

Spin class 55:00 [3]
A lot of 2-5 minute sustained efforts.
My legs look like I have measles, after the briar patch disaster on Sunday. To avoid being kicked out of the gym for fear of transmitting a nasty disease, I wore capris.
Maybe that is why no one sat near me in the hockey changing room last night.
