Day 2 in Georgia. Warm (50s) and sunny. Woods were more open today, which was nice. I just wish I had enough energy to push hard for two days in a row. I walked most of the course today. In some ways, this was good, since my navigation was decent (except for when I turned off my brain on the way to 8, and walked way too far). Overall, a good start to the year. Just have to work on being fit enough for multi-day races.

Day 1 in Georgia. Perfect temps for running and bright sunshine. Courses were OK, although we did go through some thick vegetation at the end, which I could have done without. I kept up a good pace and moved well in and out of controls. One mistake, when I got pulled offline by trying to run with a West Point cadet. Fortunately, I relocated quickly. Overall, a decent run.

Travel day to Georgia. Picked up Jenny at the airport ; saw Marit at the hotel; and Glen stopped by during dinner. Looking forward to the warm temps and open woods this weekend.
First session with my new trainer, Eric. Definitely different than my last trainer, with more aerobic type intervals. And harder arm work! Quads and biceps are quivering now. And we train for only 50 minutes. Now I'll have to add 10 more minutes back into my training for this week...:)
