Regular Mon/Wed class--good for stretching, although I didn't have as-tight muscles as last weekend; I wonder why. Slight headache all day, perhaps my typical after-A-meet-weekend-dehydration headache? (I can't seem to get the intake levels right after I orienteer all weekend; keep forgetting to drink because I'm too busy comparing routes with others....)

Plan to take a quick walk towards "town" to check out the roadside slump site.

Green Day 2 at West Point. Cloudy and cooler than yesterday, maybe 60; sun came out after I finished for a little while. Nice course set by Cadet Andrew Komm; good challenges/route choices on many legs though the course was a bit on the long side (as was yesterday's). Went left of the swamps on # 10 -- my time didn't differ much from Barb D's and Lindsay W's, so it might have been a little slower (more climb). Error was on # 11 after crossing the marsh (not sure where) I went to a boulder with a flag but the code didn't match; I was able to quickly pinpoint where the boulder was, though, and recovered; probably lost about a minute or so. Didn't much like the uphill finish, but yesterday we got to run down a trail, so I guess it all balances out. :-)

Event: West Point A-Meet
 

Green Course, Day 1 at West Point. Partly sunny, upper 60's. Except for messing up the 1st control by not acknowledging where I was (at the bottom of the reentrant that the flag was hanging at the top of...), I found the controls with no problem. That's not saying my route choices were always optimum, but they worked for me. Fairly unimaginative course on very interesting terrain.

Fun sprint around Camp Buckner designed by PG, who also provided running commentary on a PA system near the start/finish. I especially liked the opportunity of ducking under some of the barracks buildings to access some controls. The most difficulty was being able to see the purple lines on top of the black buildings to make sure you caught all the controls (tightly spaced in some areas). Thanks PG and crew!

11th woman (45 pt sprint) so I received 34 points.

Step class at the Y.

FitLinxx machines at the Y. Added more weight on the bicep curl machine for next time.

Yay--back to stepping today! (Even though we had the same number as Monday.) There were just enough steps for everyone.

Really, really needed the stretching in my right hip area. I did extra stretching. It's not the iliotibial band that's my problem, I think, but something more towards my back (perhaps a deeper-lying muscle?). Maybe it's a nerve getting pinched...

Schodack Island State Park, Castleton, NY. A week and a half before they start charging to park. :-)

Beautiful day, around 60 and sunny. A bit warm on the inland trail (in shorts and "performance T" shirt), but very nice on the Hudson River-side trail (heading north, into the breeze off the river).

I wanted to do another long run in my buildup to the Billygoat, but had had enough after I got back to the parking lot. Instead of going out for another 1mi loop (+/-), I just took a jog/walk around the trail at the picnic area (see Cool-down entry). Perhaps running on sandy trails is harder than running on paved roads, and the "intensity" makes up for the shorter distance.

Where I went. (notice they changed the name of the park since the topo was made)
