WCOC local meet at Pond Mt. in Kent (site of A meet last year and Billygoat several years ago). So-so run, pretty good effort except for a couple moments of (mental) weakness. Ribs still bad, but 4 Advils and the usual endorphins do the trick. Still having trouble sleeping. Routes/comments.

Red - Splits

Old Deerfield loop, pretty flat, good steady effort.

Leverett loop, easy pace at first, a little more energetic at end. Feeling tired.
Ribs really hurting, seems I got another place with my face plant yesterday.

With Ken Walker, from BM 461.4 NNE over Putney and Windmill Mts and a bit more. No big hills but lots of ups and downs. Nice day, nice trail (not too rocky), though I did a face plant in the first ten minutes that my ribs did not appreciate.

Training with George at Mt. Tom, lots of stops to talk about technique. Good fun but not too strenuous, just what I needed.

Jeep trail up Wantastiquet Mt. just east of Brattleboro, about 1,000' climb, plus a little bit on a meandering trail around the top. Ran the whole way, barely. Sore quads from yesterday, also feeling tired, took some will power to do (was on my way home after 18 holes with Mike Fritz, first round of the season, 89, could have been a lot worse....).

I've added my routes and comments from last weekend's A meet at Sebago.

Seven Sisters course from the Notch west to sister "C" (hill 855) and back. About 2,500' climb. Good effort. Got to do some good training in the next five weeks after missing a couple of weeks because of the rogaine.
