Event: ROC - Oatka Creek Park
 

Indoor game against Inter. They happen to be younger, faster and more skilled than our team, so . . . we lost 4-2. Final tuneup before outdoor league starts Friday.

Bounced around between center D, wing D and wing midfield. Plenty of opportunity to run without twisting the ankles in the potholes at Meridian Center.

Sprint course at Oatka Creek Park. Very fun course, ran a bit tentatively but was happy with the time. Slow on the longer legs (9-10, 3-4 and to a lesser extent 10-11). Tried running along fences a bit too much, when a little longer rout on a trail would have been faster.

C • Splits;-) 8

Ran the Red/Green/etc. course at Oatka. Intended on Red, but had to get home early so cut it short after 20 controls. Not specifically trying for speed, rather visiting far corners of the park, and specifically ignored four controls relatively close to the start.

Not a bad way to see the park! Oatka creek looked very inviting, almost wanted to wade across to get #27.

Sprint - Splits

Ride back and forth to soccer practice, mostly along the canal.

Pittsford O40B practice at Meridian Center. Small group scrimmage for a while, then some 5v4 offense/defense drills.

Park rd loop

Spent evening assembling and adjusting the new road bike. Like Christmas in April!

Commute to work - trying a different route today

Easy hike on ridge trail in Powder Mills

Long ride - Auburn Trail to LVT West to Chamberlain, back to Auburn. Beautiful cool night.

The weight will probably bounce back up when I rehydrate. . .

Team practice for Pittsford United, with members of the O40A, O40B, and O30 teams in attendance. Good scrimmage at Meridian Center, although the pitch is uneven and the grass was longer than I expected, slowing down the play a bit. Used the turfs rather than the cleats.

Played central midfield throughout the match. I didn't worry too much if the ball got through, since a guy named Craig Demmin was playing Central D behind me. Craig plays for the Pittsford O30 Premier team. Even though he's been retired from the Rhinos for a few years now, he's still in great shape and such a solid player. I remember watching him and Schweitzer anchor the Rhinos D for all those years, and he doesn't appear to have lost a step. It's great that he's stayed involved in the sport - he evidently coaches a few youth teams on the side.

Lunch loop - I should check the mileage on this!

Commute to work, plus a half-hour tooling around the canal at lunch
