Training Log Archive: jtorranc

Went back to Prince William and finished streamering the rest of the controls, including vetting the beginner night-O course. A certain amount of OCAD work left to do and rather more in Condes but feeling in good shape for Happyland in two weeks.

Rest day other than walking to the Kennedy Center and back. Did not have the enthusiasm to actually go to the By George 5K in the morning - wonder if they went ahead with it what with the cold and an inch or slightly more of new snow overnight.

To North Bethesda early in the morning to pick up rental car for the weekend - I wish someplace closer to home offered the particular weekend deal I'm taking advantage of this weekend but such is life. Fingers and toes were getting chilled by the end of this ride, as sweat accumulated.

Tromping around in the woods in Prince William Forest Park. Streamered/vetted the new night-O courses plus a brand new intermediate map walk course and four of the controls for the daylight races that happened to be in the same part of the park. Will have to go out again on Saturday and/or Sunday to finish streamering all the other Sunday control locations.

Grocery shopping trip to TPSS and back.

RCP again, out to the park police station and back testing two of the GPS watches that somehow failed to record tracks at Little Bennett. Based on their performance today, either any problems they have are intermittent or the difficulties can be ascribed to user error. Which said, I really do need to type up some instructions to set out with the loaner GPS watches and, for that matter, the thumb compasses.

Wasn't feeling like Crawlers workout when I woke this morning. Possibly Tuesday's aren't the best day to do long runs. Although I plan on doing a 5K on Saturday morning so an interval workout this morning might not have been the best idea in any case - not at all sure I would feel fully recovered by the weekend if I had gone.

Long outing in Rock Creek Park, wearing slightly less in the way of gloves than would have been advisable. Or maybe my hands would have been fine as they were if I'd had another layer on my arms. A pleasant run despite not having great manual dexterity by the time I got home.

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks and uphill sprints.
