Picking up more flags from the Rootstock race. Once more I did not have a proper adventure racing mindset. Doing fine until a little after mile 5. The control (which I never got) was in the saddle between the mile 6 and mile 7 marker. But that whole area was enclosed with a 10 or 12 foot high wire fence. There was a gate with a lovely looking road going where I wanted to go but the gate had a chain around the opening so I assumed it was locked and that the control wasn't in there. So I searched around the edge of the fence looking for another way in. But the fenced area was huge and I could not find another way in. Finally gave up and headed over to pick up a control to the SE (which I went right to but didn't see and hunted up and down the trail a bit before deciding I was definitely at the correct stream/trail junction and it had to be somewhere and then saw it. I swear I must have been two feet from it initially and just didn't see it. On the way back from that decided to give the saddle control one more shot and the line NE from the 8 mile marker shows where that side of the fence was. Realized I was one reentrant two far to the east and followed the fence around to where I had been before and gave up. Texted Abby who I think said it was inside the fencing (the texts were a little garbled). Makes no sense to me but maybe the gate was open during the race. The rest of the controls were fine.
Another beautiful day in some beautiful woods. Would be fun to hike around there with an accurate trail map. Was surprised to cross the Loyalsock Trail a couple times when I wasn't expecting it.
6 hours was tough. Not sure I can do a 24 hour rogaine. Will have to really think about that some.

Picking up some flags from last weekend's Rootstock race. Got too high right away and had to backtrack down to the first control, then climbed to the top of the ridge using the trail for the last bit. At first it was beautiful up there but then ran into mountain laurel (checked out the ridge to see if there was maybe a trail along there but there wasn't) and just bashed my way through occasionally finding an old road to follow for a bit. Got the control and then lots more mountain laurel bashing until I got to the swamp where the next control was. REALLY had trouble finding the control on the swamp even though I knew I was at the right swamp - circled it several times thinking I must have missed it. I didn't believe I had to actually go in the swamp to get the flag but I did.
Was able to take trails most of the way to the next one and then opted for the trail option back down.

The weather report was for thunderstorms in the late afternoon so I decided I wasn't going to be able to get all the others in that section so just went and got an easy one down a spur off a road.

Wandering around Green Lane Park with Bob taking notes for map updates. Bob is doing sprints there in several weeks and the map is seriously out of date.

Hanging controls for this evening's event at Germantown Academy. A fine evening and a great turnout - almost 50 starts! And Ryzhkov was finally beaten.

Despite my heart rate not being up, this was another tough class. She was late though so it was shorter than usual. Forgot to put on my knee brace and was halfway to the gym before I realized it. A few things were more painful than they would have been with the brace, but mostly it was fine since it was all about small controlled movements.

Session with trainer plus treadmill before to warm up and a few stretches afterwards because I did the dreaded yoga ball leg curls which always make my legs almost cramp right behind my knees.

Should know better than to ever pause my watch - I never remember to restart it.
Meadow loop with Sandy followed by a loop in the other direction.

25 minutes on the treadmill to warmup then 5 minutes of stretching before session with trainer. My hamstrings are really tight (yesterday's class?) and last night I woke up with a massive cramp in my calf that took several minutes to resolve so I really wanted to stretch before working out.

It was 30 minutes but I forgot to start the watch.
Had my heart rate up at the end - 3 x 20 reps of kettleball swings with 20lbs. Haven't done them in a while and they were tough.

Around the meadow loop twice listening to the end of a book.

Class at the gym. Finally got myself to class again. Tentative plan was to stay for yoga but that didn't happen. My knees had had enough.

Nice stroll around the meadow loop with Sandy. Maybe the first signs of getting out of my funk.

At the gym. 30 minutes on the treadmill and then 30 minutes with Colleen. I am pathetic at hamstring curls. Absurdly bad at them. One more thing I should practice...
