Event: DVOA Ridley FoxTrot and Ridley Orienteering Riddle
 

Brown course at Ridley Fox Trot. No real mistakes - probably a handful of hesitations that maybe added up to a minute max. Just pathetically slow. Working on that though so trying not to be discouraged.

Worked epunch all morning - we had 175 starts with 299 people! And that's not even counting the unofficial runner (who shall remain nameless but would have made it 300 if he had registered) and then the couple dozen who did the Ridley Riddle. Really pleased to hear people say that they thought the trail-o was a lot of fun. Hopefully Karl will be inspired to set more of them in the future - he did a great job with this one.

Brown - Splits

In the Wissahickon. My back is sore - a sneeze earlier in the day was excruciating. Not sure what I did; hopefully just slept a little funny.

some things for my back:
1 min plank
30 sec side plank each side
12 pu
squats, leg swings, kicks, etc. for my hips which have been sore

Event: OCIN A-meet (Night, Relay, Ultra-long)
 

TNT - with Dasha. Forgot to start my watch but we were out well over an hour. Did 8 repeats of jog 1/8 of a mile, walk 1/8 of a mile on the track plus some walking around the fields. Couldn't believe how hard I was breathing with just a very slow paced jog for 1/8 of a mile. It was as if I'd never run a step in my life. Very discouraging.

Nice dinner and conversation afterwards. Bagged maps for Ridley.
