Good ol' exercise class. :-)

Found all the controls okay except for # 2, which was most of my 6-7 minutes of error (the rest was just feeling physically slow on hill climbs).

Though I guess it's fair since everyone had the same map, I didn't like how the circle and the number for the second control was somewhat hidden in the complex area of the map near the rock and creek, and thought I was headed to # 3 coming out of the 1st control (actually, I think my mind said that #2 was #1 and all I had to do was go around the big spur...). Others would tell me that pace counting would've been a good indication that I wasn't heading right. In any case, I came out into the field W of 1 and 2 near the distinct trees and relocated from there, after noting on my watch that I was on the way to #2(!), not #3 and then finding #2 on the map.

I trotted along the Mason-Dixon line between 8 and 9. :-)

AOWN (maybe): hunting dogs and horses (and their people) in one of the big fields near the M-D line.

Green Y: Day 2 - Splits

Smooth and steady pace; slowed down (as usual) by the hill climbs. But the course was decent, including a few legs with route choice that DIDN'T involve just climbing up and over a big spur (versus running WAY around).

If you ran this on the beelines you were at somewhat of a disadvantage because of flag placement, for example on #2. If you went down the trail from 1, you could see the flag, but if you went on the beeline, both the feature (narrow fence, I think) and flag were "hidden" behind a wide-enough tree. Bummer.

Lost a couple minutes on the trail between 5 and 6 when a 6" high rock jumped up and tripped me (skinned couple layers off my hand, hit/bruised my knee, that sort of stuff), so I was little slow getting started again, but managed to lope on through the rest of the course without further injury.

So I could probably have done about 3 or so minutes faster...

Sprint - Splits

Day 1: Green Y - Splits

Event: DVOA A-Meet (Interscholastics)
 

We did more step in class today--yeay! And the shoulder exercises weren't as excruciating as in recent classes...

About 10 minute on various strengthening equipment (at the Y) that work the upper and lower body, getting them set up and learning how they work so I can go back and do it myself next time. Then I spent 15 minutes on the elliptical because I was there.

Had to mail some letters/bills, and it was approaching gorgeous outside (mid-50's with the sun trying to come out), so I took a walk. I just hope it's this nice this weekend....
