Good class; used balls. Too many full planks, though, as my shoulder's now achy.

Followed with some strength exercises (the Fitlinxx circuit for arms and legs, which I've neglected for some time now), RDL with 12 lb. bar, and a few balance things on a balance disc as left ankle is achy even though I wore the Active Ankle this weekend.

Oh, and weight is going in the wrong direction again. I'll have to watch that!

Walk to start for the middle, with Glen and Wyatt who caught up to us. Didn't take as long as I expected (from the description); we weren't pushing the pace either. Warm and buggy, but not too bad, really. Thunderstorm went through early in the morning making the woods damp.

Red middle course at Blue Mtn. near Peekskill, same as TT course, and I think my first (and probably only) A-meet red course.

Did well though slowly, a bit off at 3 (above, so had to loop around) and 6 (PG and coach were passing me there) but not more than about a minute total. Slow so I didn't get hurt, and tired from yesterday, and I only had magnifier (no glasses) after 2 because they fogged.

Only slightly more than 2xAli ;-) Minute and a half behind Sharon, ahead of Linda and awesome Gail who battled the tough up- and downhills.

Fun to take it slow; not feeling as drained as yesterday.

Thanks to all the volunteers!

EDIT - uploaded FR; 4.373 km (straight line distance shown above)

Took a leisurely drive home, stopping at Staatsburg (Mills Mansion) in Mills-Norrie State Park along the Hudson north of Poughkeepsie. It's a huge limestone and marble mansion that's showing some wear. We arrived too late for the mansion tour so walked around the grounds and on a path along the Hudson River, probably 3-4 miles in total.

It was hot and I was pretty drenched afterwards even though we walking slowly. We bushwhacked at one point from the trail along the Hudson inland to a carriage road after asking some other hikers about the trails (no maps available).

Red - Splits

Green course (not an A-meet/ranked course, but challenging nonetheless). I'm very happy I chose NOT to do Red, another 2.6 km, nominally. As it was I clocked almost 8 km on the Forerunner.

Totally drained now; shady in the woods, but not used to low 80s with some humidity.

Will download FR tomorrow -- it'll be interesting to see what the climb was (not calculated by course setter).

Only not-clean control was 10 where I was at the top of the correct reentrant but could not see the flag so I checked an adjacent one before heading back.

EDIT - added FR track, 7.932 km

Letting my legs be fresh for tomorrow, but not happy about the weight (birthday cake related, I suspect).

Don't know if I'll ever get to 0 (desired). Body seems to want to hang around +5.

Going to make the mystery mocha cake today that Alex linked to earlier this month--can't wait to taste it!

We used bands today. Left hamstring is feeling more strained for some reason though we didn't do that much with it during the class.

Legs still feeling Tuesday's intervals so I wanted to keep it easy. Hamstring didn't like it at first so I started easy (3.6 mph) and worked up to 4.2.

575 m. Was going to do more but hamstring didn't like it.

Pulldowns (was going to do 12 but started giggling at something on Wait, Wait... and only did 10.

2 x 12 RDL with 15 lb. bar -- these felt okay, and I hope helped the hamstring be less angry.

Good class in Chatham, wih some repeats of exercises I did yesterday in Pilates. ;-) (different instructor)

After class, I replaced the chain on the toilet flush lever (those legionnaires take too long to fix things). Piece of cake.
