Event: CNYO A meet
 

Great CNYO A meet. Weather held up and so did my legs.

There were three on the weekend, but I only entered the middle distance (cost/time/ability).

First experience at an A-meet, and I purchased gators that came in very handy. My shins thanked me over and over. (Though the knee was unhappy that it didn't get protection)

Overall did well - only 11 minutes behind Mike.

Biggest time issues:
- failure to read map well - I need to get a magnifing glass, as the reading glasses won;t cut it...-(
- failure to plan good routes based on above...
- anxiety over lack of map pre-read - recreational events allow several minutes to look over map and plan - need to find a way to do that quickly - esp with the lack of vision noted above...
- leg strength & conditioning - better than before, but still need to work on.

Plusses:
- several good routes - taking into account my abilities and the nature of the map.
- 1->2 - used trail and hit it well.
- 2->3 - path & trail was good, lack of speed was not;-)
- 3->4 - ran trail nicely.
- 7->8 - streambed idea was good, time would be better if I was able to run more.
- 9->10 - (simple) paths & trails worked well.
- 10->11->12->13 - simple decisions
- 14->15 - path & trails with least effort required.

Red - Splits

Didn't notice knee today, calling it healed.
Arm mobility improved, but still painful when moved beyond limits.

Knee felt pretty good today.

Needed to get out and try out the body. Felt the knee, but it wasn't bad. Arm seems fine for running.
