Event: KS Champs (part of Possum Trot Weekend)

12 PM

Terrain (Grass) 15:00 [2]
shoes: Oroc 340

Desparately trying to warm up. Not particularly effective.

1 PM

Orienteering race (Woods) 24:37 [3] ***
10c shoes: Oroc 340

OK Sprint. Not really that cold, but a crazy howling wind had me pretty locked up at the start. Had a lot of trouble punching at the first couple controls because my hands were so cold. Was OK after that. Didn't want to run too hard since I still wasn't really sure how much I'd have for the Trot tomorrow. Legs felt OK, but better safe than sorry. One stupid boom at #2, everything else was fine. Finished 3rd overall, 1st M45+.

Cycling (Road) 42:00 [2]
shoes: Bike:Felt CX SS

In to work - very easy pace. Tried something new today; picked up the link at Clayton. It doesn't save any time (total time in was 3 minutes faster than usual), but it certainly does mitigate the cold. Got to the station in 37 minutes, which is about the time I'm usually feeling pretty miserable riding in mid-20's temps. Warmed up a bit on the train and the last mile in from Grand was obviously no big deal.

4 PM

Cycling (Road) 1:18:00 [2]
shoes: Bike:Felt CX SS

Back from work. Got held up in a meeting that went long so rather than a nice afternoon spin home in mid-30's, it was below freezing, getting dark, and the traffic was quite heavy. Bummer, but there you have it.

Like to Forsythe, ran to GH (olive bread today!), home on the bus.

Running (Road) 50:00 [2]
shoes: DS Trainers

In to work via Ballas/Brentwood/Grand. December monthly metro passes are a festive red.

3 PM

Running (Road) 1:46:00 [2]
shoes: DS Trainers

Link to the Galleria, then home at an easy pace.

6 PM

Tae Kwon Do (Technique) 30:00 [2]

Family class with Yaya. I liked the adult only class better. Yaya seemed indifferent, so I think we'll be going on Tuesdays from now on.

Running (Road) 22:00 [2]
shoes: DS Trainers

In to work via Olive/Delmar/Grand metro. The link was rather crowded for 5:30AM. Maybe more folks are coming around to this mass transit thing.

C • Zig vs Zag 11

3 PM

Running (Road) 57:00 [2]
shoes: DS Trainers

Link from Grand to Forsythe, then ran to Great Harvest where I caught the 91 the rest of the way home.

7 PM

Tae Kwon Do (Technique) 45:00 [3]

Yaya has gotten over the tragic death of Master Warren and agreed to give TKD another go. We've transferred to Master Roth's dojang. Master Lowe taught tonight. Yaya did the 6PM kid's class and I took the following adult class. I like the structure of Master Lowe's classes. More time on the floor and all of it is pretty active. Good to be back.

Terrain (Grass) 40:00 [2]
shoes: Reebok spikes

Warm up/down (split evenly).

Terrain race (Grass) 21:30 [3] 3.2 mi (6:43 / mi) +30m 6:32 / mi
shoes: Reebok spikes

Bubba Cross Country at Spanish Lake. Distance is approximate as usual. And, unfortunately, also as usual this year, no competition in the M40 field, so I just ran somewhere in the vicinity of tempo so I'd have legs for the bike race. 2nd overall.

12 PM

FatTire (Mix) 40:00 [2]
shoes: Bike:Felt CX SS

A couple laps of the course, plus some easy spinning to stay loose.

1 PM

FatTire race (Grass) 59:35 [3]
shoes: Bike:Felt CX SS

Bubba CX Singlespeed. Decent ride given what my legs have been through these last few weeks. Hit the turf once, but I'm not sure it counts as a wreck because I wasn't on the bike at the time. As I dismounted on lap 2 my calf cramped so badly I couldn't keep my feet under me and went down in a heap. No harm done. Massaged it for a bit and got back on. Finsihed fourth.

Cycling (Road) 33:00 [2]
shoes: Bike:Felt CX SS

Easy spinning after the race on the bike path around Spanish Lake to try to loosen up the calf a bit.
