Really should have gone paddling today as it was pretty nice weather for that. Just felt a tad flat after yesterday so I made it a family day and went for a jog after Baby-O went to bed. Second week in a row that a late Sunday night workout was the only thing saving me from being out-trained by Spike. Not to worry, I'll be unemployed in two days. Then we'll see some training hours!

Longish warmup. Didn't feel very good.

OCIN's BillyPig. Fun course at Miami Whitewater (1:10). Climb wasn't bad for that area. Took it out slow because my stomach wasn't settled. Got into the lead around the third control and was by myself from #5 on. Didn't really start running well until the long leg to 12, but my navigation was OK throughout. Skipped #17 and took forks 4a, 9b, and 14a. Ended up winning comfortably which surprised me because several other folks were going pretty well at the start. I guess they all had booms.

Map and full report here.

Control picking course on the more technical terrain of Miami Whitewater West (1:10).

Picked up three controls. SI is nice, but it sure makes control setting/pickup a pain.

Easy jog after driving to Cincinnati for the BillyPig. Then, just to get in the whole Cincinnati mindset, I had dinner at Skyline Chili. I suppose I could have rolled down a steep hill into some thorns and accomplished the same thing.

Over to Y and back a slightly longer way.

2 sets, moderatly heavy, upper only.

I decided that since my weight is at the top end of my desired winter range (188-192), I should start posting it to incent me to hold the line there.

Over to Y and back.

8x100@97 go on 2:00. 1 minute rest between 4&5. Not quite sure where that came from - I felt fine, was just going 5 seconds faster per 100 for some reason.

From old house (SOLD! - but I needed to fix a couple things) over to Forest Park.

Control picking in Forest Park (1:10) using just a 2-LED headlamp. So little light made finding the features in the woods really hard, but most of it was still pretty fast. Fun exercise.
